The persistent threat from the Covid-19 pandemic has urged each individual to focus more on their health and safety. While hand hygiene is a priority at present, people are more concerned about overall skin protection. The reason being, many skin care products cause skin dryness and dullness, which indeed affect the skin’s beauty. Especially, this has become a general concern with beauty conscious women who wish to retain their skin’s glory as longer as possible. Even though, there are many kinds of skin care products available in the market, some products can be harsh on skin and cause skin woes while the harsh fragrances in those products are another concern.

If using certain skin care products is just one scenario that brings skin woes, Sri Lanka’s tropical climate too takes a toll on skin causing dryness, dullness and irritation. Do you pay attention to the skin care products such as soap, hand wash, lotions and body wash products you buy?  This is one of the most relevant questions for today’s context where regular washing has become a need of the hour to protect oneself from virus and germs. Hence, it is paramount to be aware of skin care products before using those.

As a solution, it is recommended to thoroughly inspect the product labels and read the provided details before choosing a product. Most of the products contain a detailed description about ingredients and relevant certifications. It does not mean that all products are skin friendly, which is when the knowledge about skin friendly products comes to the rescue of users.

A major aspect to consider when choosing a skin care product is its moisturizing properties because when a product is infused with moisturizing properties, it helps to keep the skin wet, prevent dryness and appearance of wrinkles. The moisturizing factor is more important at present than ever due to frequent hand washing and sanitizing.

If a skin care product is of good quality and safe for usage, it needs to have obtained the dermatologically tested certification, which is commonly accepted certification for skin care products. It claims that the product has been tested by dermatologists to be clinically safe on skin.

In addition, a good quality skin care product can be determined with several certifications such as the NMRA and ISO certifications and IFRA certification for use of safe fragrances. For skin care products seekers, it is advisable to choose a product by considering the above certifications.

Another important factor that needs to be considered is, whether the particular product is of a Sri Lankan origin. The reason being Sri Lankan skin types are different to that of any other country and local manufacturers are usually well versed in the composition that suits local skin types.
