Question about Nighttime Skin Care Routine?
Should I have a separate day time and nighttime routine (using separate products for daytime and nighttime?) Whats a good Nightime Skin Care Routine like what are some basic products that you would recommend for someone who wants to start a nightime skin care routine? I think my skin type is sensitive/combination. Also I'm only 21 should I worry about anti-aging products? What about an eye cream should I worry about eye cream in general? Finally should I have just a daytime and nighttime skin care routine or should I switch up my skin care routine as the seasons change?
Do companies even make anything for my skin type...my skin type is like a little bit of everything but it mainly depends on the weather. My nose, forehead and chin are somewhat oily. Around the rims of my nose and along my chin/jawline its kinda flakey but the rest of my face is normal. I also have blackheads on my nose and I think that my pores are a little more noticeable than I'd like them to be. My skin is sensitive to some products but not all. What is considered to be a normal skin type anyways? I can only find stuff for normal-dry or oily-combo skin or dry-sensitive and I have like a combination of all of the above sorta.

If you can afford all the creams they recommend then yes - you should have a night cream and a day cream and also eye cream. If you're very rich you can even get neck cream too.
During the day you are recommended to use a cream that contains UV filters to protect your skin from sun damage. They come in formulations to suit oily, normal, dry, or sensitive skin. I prefer to use the ones for sensitive skin as they have less perfume on the whole.
During the night you are recommended to use a richer night moisturiser that doesn't contain UV filters.
The skin round your eyes is very delicate compared to the rest of your face, and the creams for eyes are lighter formula. Normal face cream can be a bit too rich for the area and MAY even cause puffiness on occasion.
You are supposed to clean your face twice a day before putting on any cream. So you need a cleanser. These come in various formulas too, to suit different skin types, and they also come as lotions and washes. If your skin is dry a wash may not suit you - a cream may be better.
If you have oily skin or problems with acne you can get medicated face washes and face creams that are specially for oily skins.
The cream you use will probably change as you grow older. For example Oil of Olay make a range of products to suit young, middle aged and older skin. Skin tends to get drier as you age and a richer cream is necessary.
The most important thing at your age is to protect your skin from the ageing effects of the sun's rays by using a good quality cream with good UV filters. And never sunbathe without the appropriate factor sun lotion.
Always read the instructions on the packaging, stop using any product if you get redness itching or breakouts which might be an allergic reaction. Don't share creams or makeup as dirty fingers in pots can spread infections, particularly with eye creams/'makeup. Never put one layer of cream on top of an old one - always cleanse first or you may end up with blocked pores and nasty blackheads.
In winter you might need a richer cream if cold dry air affects your skin, and air conditioning may also dry out your skin. A moisturising face pack once a week is helpful, but don't overdo steaming, peeling or scrubbing products or you may end up with a sore red face.
Hope this is helpful.
