What Is Skin Care?

Skin care is the daily practice of cleansing, moisturising and protecting your skin to keep it comfortable, healthy-looking and balanced. Facial skin care focuses on the face and neck, while body care covers everything from hands and feet to elbows and knees.

A simple skin care routine can be just three steps: cleanse, moisturise and protect from the sun. Many people add serums, masks and exfoliants to target specific concerns.

Cosmetics vs drugs

In the US, skin care products are either cosmetics, drugs or both. According to the FDA, a product's intended use decides which category it falls into. A moisturiser that softens skin is a cosmetic, while products that claim to treat conditions or protect against sunburn are regulated as drugs.

A long history

People have cared for their skin for thousands of years with oils, herbs, milk and clays. Modern skin care adds tested ingredients, sun protection and products tailored to different skin types.

Skin care and dermatology

Dermatologists diagnose and treat skin conditions, while estheticians provide facials and cosmetic treatments. Everyday skin care at home supports both.

What's in Our Skin Care Collection?

The collection lists 7,128 products, and almost all were in stock when we updated this page on October 7, 2026. Prices run from $10.00 to $988.33, with a median starting price of $23.09.

Counts come from product types on October 7, 2026. Read ingredients, directions and warnings on each listing before use.

Know Your Skin Type

Knowing your skin type is the first step to choosing skin care that works for you.

How to check your skin type

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry and wait an hour without applying anything. Tight skin suggests dry, shine all over suggests oily, and shine only on the forehead, nose and chin suggests combination.

Skin type can change

Age, climate, hormones and seasons all affect your skin, so review your routine a few times a year.

How to Build a Skin Care Routine

A good skin care routine is simple, consistent and suited to your skin.

Morning routine

1. Cleanse with a gentle face wash, or rinse with water if your skin is dry.
2. Apply toner or essence if you use one.
3. Apply a serum, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid.
4. Moisturise with a cream or lotion.
5. Finish with broad spectrum sunscreen.

Evening routine

Remove makeup and sunscreen, cleanse, then apply treatment serums and a richer moisturiser. Evenings are the best time for retinol and exfoliating acids.

Weekly steps

Use a face mask or gentle exfoliant once or twice a week, depending on your skin.

Order of application

A simple rule is to apply products from thinnest to thickest.

Cleansers

Cleansing removes dirt, oil, sunscreen and makeup so other skin care can work well.

Foam cleansers

Foaming cleansers lather well and suit normal to oily skin. The Turmeric Facial Cleansing Mousse Foam Cleanser for All Skin Types costs $22.65.

Gel cleansers

Gel cleansers feel fresh and clean without stripping, which suits oily and combination skin.

Cream cleansers

Cream cleansers are gentle and cushioning, so they suit dry and sensitive skin.

Oil cleansers and double cleansing

Oil cleansers dissolve sunscreen and makeup. Many people follow with a water-based cleanser, known as double cleansing, in the evening.

How often to cleanse

Most people cleanse twice a day. Rinse with lukewarm water rather than hot water, which can dry the skin.

Toners and Essences

Toners and essences add a light layer of hydration after cleansing.

Hydrating toners

Hydrating toners with ceramides or hyaluronic acid prepare skin for serums. The Ceramide Yeast Hydrating Moisturizing Toner for Soft Skin costs $23.43.

Exfoliating toners

Toners with glycolic or other acids gently exfoliate. Start slowly, a few times a week, and use sunscreen daily.

Mists

Facial mists refresh skin through the day and over makeup.

Serums and Ampoules

Serums deliver concentrated ingredients in a light texture, which makes them the most targeted part of skin care.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid attracts water and helps skin feel plump and hydrated.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps skin look brighter and more even. Use it in the morning under sunscreen.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide helps skin look smoother and more balanced, and suits most skin types.

Peptides

Peptides support a firmer, smoother-looking complexion and pair well with moisturisers.

Retinol

Retinol helps improve the look of fine lines and texture. Start with a low strength a few nights a week, always use sunscreen, and avoid it if you're pregnant unless your doctor approves.

Moisturisers and Creams

Moisturisers lock in hydration and support the skin's barrier.

Gel moisturisers

Light gels suit oily and combination skin and humid weather.

Lotions

Lotions are light but more moisturising than gels, so they suit most skin types.

Creams

Richer creams suit dry skin, cold weather and night-time use.

Neck creams

The neck needs the same care as the face. The Fullerene Neck Cream for Firming and Moisturizing costs $23.23.

Eye Care

The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate.

Eye creams

Eye creams are lighter and gentler than face creams. Tap a small amount around the orbital bone with your ring finger.

Eye patches

Hydrogel patches give a quick boost of hydration before events. The Eye Mask Sticker for Dark Circles, Hydrating Under Eye Patches costs $22.70.

Puffiness

Cool tools, a good night's sleep and less salt in the evening can help eyes look less puffy.

Sun Protection

Sun protection is the most important step in any skin care routine.

What the FDA recommends

The FDA advises using broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher regularly and as directed, and reapplying at least every two hours, more often if you're sweating or swimming. It also recommends limiting time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when rays are most intense.

Sunscreen formats

Lotions and creams suit daily use, sticks are easy to carry for touch-ups, and sprays cover large areas quickly. The Body Care Stick with Herbal Extracts, Portable Sun Protection costs $23.04.

How much to apply

Apply generously to all exposed skin, including ears, neck and the backs of hands, about 15 minutes before going outside.

Sunscreen is a drug in the US

Sunscreens are regulated as over-the-counter drugs. Look for a Drug Facts label with active ingredients, SPF and directions.

Face Masks

Masks give skin a weekly treat.

Sheet masks

Sheet masks soak skin in serum for 15 to 20 minutes. The Collagen Protein Moisturizing Sheet Mask 75ml costs $22.54.

Clay masks

Clay masks absorb excess oil and suit oily and combination skin. The Turmeric VC Clay Mask for Brightening and Deep Cleansing costs $22.65.

Overnight masks

Overnight masks seal in moisture while you sleep.

Peel-off masks

Peel-off masks lift away surface debris. Avoid them on sensitive or irritated skin.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells for a smoother, brighter-looking surface.

Physical exfoliants

Scrubs and brushes polish the skin. Use gentle pressure and avoid harsh, jagged particles on the face.

Chemical exfoliants

Alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic acid, work on the surface, while beta hydroxy acids, such as salicylic acid, work inside pores.

How often

Once or twice a week is enough for most people. Over-exfoliating can cause redness and irritation.

Facial and Body Oils

Oils add softness and seal in moisture.

Facial oils

Lightweight oils such as squalane suit most skin types. Press a few drops onto skin after moisturiser.

Body oils

Body oils make skin feel soft and are great for massage after a shower.

Lip Care

Lips have no oil glands, so they dry out quickly.

Lip balms

Apply balm through the day and before bed. Choose one with SPF for outdoor days.

Lip masks and scrubs

Gentle scrubs and overnight masks smooth flaky lips.

Body Care

Body skin care keeps skin soft from shoulders to feet.

Body lotions and creams

Apply lotion after showering, while skin is still slightly damp, to lock in moisture.

Scrubs

Body scrubs smooth rough patches on elbows, knees and feet.

Soaps and shower gels

Gentle, moisturising soaps and gels are kinder to dry skin. Handmade olive oil soaps are a popular choice.

Hand care

Hands are washed often and need regular moisture. The Urea Moisturizing Hand Cream 150g for Dry Cracked Skin costs $22.95.

Foot care

Foot creams and exfoliating sprays soften heels and calluses.

Key Skin Care Ingredients

Knowing a few ingredients makes skin care easier to choose.

Skin Care Tools and Devices

Beauty devices are the largest group in our skin care range.

Cleansing brushes

Soft silicone or bristle brushes boost cleansing. Use gently and clean the brush after each use.

Gua sha and rollers

Facial massage tools help you apply products and enjoy a relaxing routine. The Electric Gua Sha Tool with Adjustable Temperature and USB Charging costs $30.23.

Facial steamers

Steamers open up a relaxing at-home facial. Keep sessions short and the steamer at a safe distance.

LED and microcurrent devices

At-home light and microcurrent devices are popular, but results vary. Follow the instructions carefully and check safety warnings.

Microneedling caution

Microneedling devices pierce the skin. Use only as directed, keep them clean, and consider professional treatment instead.

Skin Care by Concern

Match your skin care to the main look you'd like to improve.

Dryness

Use cream cleansers, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and rich moisturisers, and avoid hot water.

Oiliness and shine

Use gel or foam cleansers, niacinamide and light gel moisturisers. Don't skip moisturiser.

Blemishes

Gentle cleansing, salicylic acid and hydrocolloid patches help. See a dermatologist for persistent or painful acne.

Dullness

Regular gentle exfoliation and vitamin C help skin look brighter.

Uneven tone

Daily sunscreen is the most important step. Vitamin C and niacinamide help the look of tone.

Fine lines

Sunscreen, retinol, peptides and good moisturisers help skin look smoother.

Sensitivity

Choose fragrance-free products with few ingredients, and patch test everything new.

Skin Care by Age

Skin needs change over time.

Teens

Keep it simple: gentle cleanser, light moisturiser and sunscreen. Spot care helps with occasional blemishes.

20s and 30s

Add an antioxidant serum and make sunscreen a daily habit.

40s and beyond

Add retinol, peptides and richer moisturisers, and pay attention to the neck and hands.

Men's skin care

Men's skin care follows the same basics. A cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen cover most needs, and soothing products help after shaving.

Seasonal Skin Care

Adjust your routine as the weather changes.

Summer

Use lighter textures, higher SPF and reapply sunscreen often.

Winter

Switch to richer creams, gentle cleansers and lip balm, and use a humidifier indoors.

Travel

Pack travel sizes, a sheet mask for long flights and a sunscreen stick.

Skin Care Safety

A few habits prevent most reactions.

Patch test

Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm for 24 to 48 hours before using a new product on your face.

Introduce one product at a time

Adding products slowly makes it easier to spot what suits your skin.

Read claims carefully

Products that claim to treat conditions are regulated as drugs. If a skin problem is severe, painful or not improving, see a dermatologist.

Pregnancy and medical conditions

Check with your doctor before using retinoids or other strong actives during pregnancy or if you have a skin condition.

Store products properly

Keep products closed, away from heat and sunlight, and use them within the period shown on the label.

Reading Skin Care Labels

Labels tell you what's inside and how to use it.

Ingredient list

Ingredients are listed from the highest to the lowest amount.

Period after opening

The open-jar symbol, such as "12M", shows how many months a product lasts after opening.

Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic

Fragrance-free products suit sensitive skin, and non-comedogenic products are formulated to avoid clogging pores.

Drug Facts

Sunscreens and some blemish products carry a Drug Facts box with active ingredients and directions.

Skin Care Kits and Gifts

Kits make skin care easy to start and great to give.

Starter kits

Sets with a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser make a simple routine. The Firming Skin Care Set of 6 with Collagen & Salicylic Acid costs $25.40.

Skin Care FAQs

What is the right order for skin care?

Apply products from thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner or essence, serum, eye cream, moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen. Facial oils usually go after moisturiser, and treatments like retinol are best used at night. Wait a moment between layers so each one absorbs.

What are the basic steps of a skin care routine?

Cleanse, moisturise and protect: a gentle cleanser, a moisturiser suited to your skin type and daily broad spectrum sunscreen cover the essentials. Add serums, masks and exfoliants once your basic routine feels comfortable. Consistency matters more than the number of products.

How do I know my skin type?

Wash with a gentle cleanser, pat dry and wait an hour. Tight skin suggests dry, all-over shine suggests oily, and shine only on the forehead, nose and chin suggests combination. Easily irritated skin is sensitive, and skin type can change with seasons, so check again occasionally.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

The FDA advises reapplying sunscreen at least every two hours, and more often if you're sweating or swimming. Use broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher, applied generously to all exposed skin. Reapply after towel drying too, even with water-resistant formulas.

Can I use vitamin C and retinol together?

Many people use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night to reduce irritation. Introduce one at a time, patch test, and always wear sunscreen during the day when using either ingredient. Ask a dermatologist if your skin is very sensitive.

How often should I exfoliate?

Once or twice a week suits most people. Over-exfoliating can cause redness, stinging and dryness. If your skin feels irritated, stop for a few days and focus on gentle cleansing and moisturising, since sensitive skin may only need exfoliation every week or two.

Are face masks worth it?

Masks can give a quick boost of hydration or a deep clean, but they work best alongside a consistent daily routine. Use hydrating masks for dry skin and clay masks for oily areas once or twice a week. Follow the time on the pack.

Is skin care different for men?

The basics are the same: cleanse, moisturise and protect. Men may prefer lighter textures and soothing products for after shaving, but the right skin care depends on skin type rather than gender. Daily sunscreen matters for everyone, especially on the face, ears and neck.

When should I see a dermatologist?

See a dermatologist for severe, painful or persistent acne, rashes that don't settle, changing moles or any skin problem that worries you. Cosmetic skin care isn't a substitute for medical treatment. Seek help quickly if a mole changes size, shape or colour, or if a reaction spreads.

How long does skin care take to work?

Hydration can feel better straight away, but visible changes in texture or tone usually take several weeks of consistent use. Give a new product around four to eight weeks before judging results. Keep using sunscreen throughout so results aren't undone by sun exposure.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Can I return skin care products?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the item is new, unused and in its original sealed packaging. Opened or used products don't meet this condition for hygiene reasons. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number and the product name to start a return.

Find the Right Skin Care

Choosing skin care comes down to three checks: products that suit your skin type, a simple routine you can keep up, and daily sun protection. Start with a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen, then add serums and masks.
