When it comes to exercise, you know it is important to mix up your fitness routine for best results but what about your cosmetic products? Should you use the same cosmetic products every time? We asked the question to dermatologist Dr Aditi Ghoshal and here is her answer.

There is no problem with using the same cosmetic product as long as you are listening to your skin and making necessary adjustments. Your skin changes due to some factors like age, hormonal changes and stress. So you need to make certain changes in your skincare routine based on the needs of your skin. For example, during certain months your skin may feel drier or oilier than other months. So when your skin is dry, you can use a moisturiser that will help you deal with dry skin. As your skin suffers changes, you may also notice that a product is not working on your skin. So you will know that it is time for you to switch your skincare product.

Having said that, make sure that you do not change your skincare products too often. If a product does not suit your skin, you can suffer from irritation, breakouts and dryness. Also, it makes sense to see a dermatologist if you notice any new skin problems. A dermatologist can provide tailored advice about your skin while testing your skin problems or signs technically and can suggest the right products and treatment which will avoid unnecessary fancy or beautifying cosmetics.
