Introducing the Skinstore Routine Builder

July 2, 2026

The world of skincare can seem a bit overwhelming. With so many products to choose from, it can be tricky to figure out which products are best for your skin type, and choosing the wrong ones can lead to irritation, breakouts, and wasted money.

This is why the Skinstore Routine Builder was created - to guide and help you in choosing the best possible products that may suit your skin when you’re starting on your skincare journey.

Why Your Skin Type Matters

No two skin types are the same, which means products that work well for one person may not be the best choice for another. Understanding your skin type is one of the most important steps in building an effective skincare routine.

Different skin types have different needs:

Oily skin: Lightweight, non-comedogenic products can help manage excess shine without clogging pores.
Dry skin: Hydrating ingredients help support the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
Sensitive skin: Gentle formulations can help minimise irritation and discomfort.
Combination skin: A balanced routine helps care for both oily and dry areas.

Choosing products suited to your skin type can help minimise common concerns like breakouts, dryness, redness, and irritation, while giving your skin the support it needs to look and feel its best.

Skin Concerns Matter Too

While your skin type forms the foundation of your routine, your individual skin concerns are just as important when choosing the right products.

Whether you’re looking to manage acne and congestion, reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve uneven skin tone, target pigmentation, or boost hydration, different concerns benefit from different ingredients and formulations.

Rather than relying on trial and error or following popular trends, the Routine Builder recommends products based on your skin type, concerns, and skincare goals—making it easier to build a routine that’s personalised to you.

To give you an idea of how recommendations can vary, below are a few example routines for different skin types and concerns.

Not Sure What Your Skin Type Is?

Dry skin: Often feels tight, flaky, or rough.
Oily skin: Produces excess shine throughout the day.
Combination skin: Oily in some areas (typically the T-zone) and dry in others.
Sensitive skin: Easily irritated and prone to redness or discomfort.

Please note: These routines are examples only. Your personalised recommendations may vary depending on your skin type, concerns, and the answers you provide in the Routine Builder.
