Our skincare collection is known for being affordable, effective, and packed full of powerful active and trending ingredients. Free from fancy thrills, it ticks the boxes for all the skincare basics you need in your routine, delivering results without an extortionate price tag. Whether you’re new to the brand or you’re already a fan, you may have some questions about which of the products are best for you and your skin type. After all, dry skin types require a totally different skincare approach to oily skin types, and if you experience things like breakouts, hyperpigmentation, and sensitivity, things can get even more complicated.
Scroll down for a simplified guide on choosing the best By BEAUTY BAY skincare products based on your skin type.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Oily Skin:
Oily skin produces excess sebum, which makes it appear shiny and greasy-looking. It’s also significantly prone to breakouts, blackheads, and enlarged pores.
To keep excess oil under control, start your morning and evening skincare routines by cleansing with the 1% Salicylic Acid + Zinc PCA Cleansing Gel. It’s packed with ingredients which work to control the build-up of sebum that leads to oiliness and clogged pores. Once or twice a week, apply the Kaolin Clay + PHA Mask to clean, dry skin. It contains kaolin and bentonite clays – naturally occurring minerals which absorb excess oil and decongest skin.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Dehydrated Skin:
Dehydrated skin lacks water and typically feels tight and rough and looks dull – it can still be oily, because dehydrated skin often over-compensates for its lack of water by producing excess oil. It’s important to rehydrate dehydrated skin with water-based skincare products.
After cleansing, mist on the Hyaluronic Acid + Sea Moss Hydrating Mist. It contains hyaluronic acid, one of the most effective ingredients for replenishing dehydrated skin and helping it to retain moisture. Follow it up with the Collodal Oatmeal + Oat Lipid Rich Moisturiser – this rich cream utilises colloidal oatmeal and oat lipids to moisturise skin and strengthen the skin barrier to lock in hydration.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Breakouts:
There’s nothing quite so annoying as waking up to a patch of new pimples or a supersize spot on the middle of your chin. Whether you suffer from cystic acne or the occasional breakout, these products will help to calm down breakoutsand prevent spots from popping up again.
Dot on the Blemish Paste overnight as the final step in your routine. It contains salicylic acid to clear pores, niacinamide to reduce sebum, prebiotics to soothe inflammation, and squalane to hydrate skin. As an alternative for during the day, stick a Hydrocolloid Spot Patch over any particularly troublesome spots – these work best on spots that have already come to a head, as they are made with hydrocolloid which absorbs the fluid from blemishes.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Hyperpigmentation:
Hyperigmentation can be caused by trauma to the skin, like a breakout – which is why many acne-sufferers experience red marks that linger on their skin long after the blemish has disappeared.
The best way to treat pigmentation is to chemically exfoliate skin – with each layer that’s removed, the pigmentation will fade. Use the 5% Glycolid Acid + 1% PHA Toner twice a week in your evening routine (after cleansing and before moisturising) to kickstart this process. Soak a cotton pad and sweep the solution over your skin, avoiding sensitive areas. Since UV exposure worsens pigmentation (and exfoliating acids make skin even more sensitive to UV) it’s vital to wear an SPF 50 daily to help fade hyperpigmentation. Apply a generous layer of the SPF 50 Face Lotion as the final step in your evening skincare routine.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Dull Skin:
Skin looking dull and lacklustre? Everything from dehydration to dry skin and pollution can cause your skin to look dull. The good news is that there are a few quick wins you can employ to quickly restore a healthy, radiant glow.
Swipe the 5% Niacinamide + Vitamin C Toner on morning and night – it’s packed with vitamin C, a potent antioxidant which fights of daily aggressors like UV damage and pollution to improve skin health. Since dull skin is calling out for moisture, follow it up with a generous layer of the Squalane + Ginseng Gel Moisturiser. The squalane in the moisturiser is rich in fatty acids which plump up the skin, resulting in a smooth, reflective surface.
The Best By BEAUTY BAY Skincare Products for Dry Skin:
Dry skin feels tight, rough, itchy, and is prone to flaking and peeling. Some people are more prone to dryness than others, but most will experience it at some point as it can easily be triggered by things like dry weather conditions and astringent skincare products.
If you have stubborn patches of dryness, it’s important to exfoliate to remove the dry, dead skin. Use the 5% Glycolic Acid + 1% PHA Toner to buff textured areas (it also includes lactic acid to improve hydration), then follow it up with 5% Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid + Polyglutamic Acid Overnight Balm to create a seal over skin that will prevent moisture from escaping.
