Short answer
In Bangladesh's heat, a simple routine works for most skin types: in the morning cleanse, use one serum if you like, and apply SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen; at night wash off sunscreen and sweat, then use a light moisturiser.
Key takeaways
- 1Sunscreen (SPF 50, PA++++) is the step that matters most.
- 2Use about two finger-lengths of sunscreen for face and neck, and reapply outdoors.
- 3Even oily skin needs a light moisturiser at night.
- 4Introduce one new product at a time, and avoid unsealed or unusually cheap skincare.
Morning: cleanse, treat, protect
- Cleanse with a gentle face wash — foaming for oily skin, cream or hydrating for dry skin.
- Treat with one serum if you use one. Niacinamide is a popular choice for oil control and uneven tone.
- Protect with SPF 50, PA++++ sunscreen. This is the step that matters most.
Night: cleanse, moisturise
Wash off sunscreen, sweat and pollution, then use a light moisturiser. Even oily skin needs moisture — skipping it can make skin produce more oil.
Common mistakes
- Using too little sunscreen — aim for about two finger-lengths for face and neck
- Forgetting to reapply when you're outdoors for hours
- Layering many new products at once — introduce one at a time so you know what works
- Buying unsealed or unusually cheap skincare, which may be fake or expired
