If I have more than one skin condition or concern how do I know which one to treat?

When choosing your skincare it can be difficult to know what to focus on do you choose something for your skin type or for your skin concern or condition? Bear in mind your skin type when choosing skin care, make sure it is suitable for your skin type however your main focus should be your skin concern or condition. What bothers you the most about your skin, what do you want to change about it? Focus on that. If you have more than one concern or condition and you don’t know which to focus on then ask a skin care professional, you may be able to use different products to treat more than one concern or condition at once or you may be best treating one first before moving on to another.
