✨ Unlock the Secrets to Radiant Skin

Living in Pakistan, especially in cities like Rawalpindi, our skin faces a unique set of challenges: intense sunlight, pollution, humidity, and seasonal shifts. For Pakistani women, maintaining flawless skin isn’t just about vanity—it’s about self-care and confidence. At La Rouge by Aasima Rehan, we understand that no two complexions are the same. That’s why we’ve created a step‑by‑step skincare routine designed specifically for Pakistani skin tones and local weather conditions. Whether your skin is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, this guide will help you glow naturally

🌿 1: Know Your Skin Type

• Oily Skin: Shiny, large pores, prone to acne.
• Dry Skin: Feels tight, flaky, dull appearance.
• Combination Skin: Oily T‑zone with dry cheeks.
• Sensitive Skin: Reacts easily—redness, itching.

💆‍♀️ 2: Cleanse – The Foundation of Skincare

Clean skin is the first step to healthy skin. Use a gentle cleanser twice daily.

• Oily Skin: Foaming or gel-based with salicylic acid.
• Dry Skin: Creamy, hydrating formulas.
• Sensitive Skin: Fragrance-free, pH‑balanced options.

Tip: Avoid harsh soaps or hot water—they strip your natural oils.

🔬 3: Exfoliate Weekly – But Don’t Overdo It

Exfoliation removes dead cells and unclogs pores, but harsh scrubs can cause hyperpigmentation.

Use gentle chemical exfoliants like lactic acid or fruit enzymes, 1–2× per week.

Avoid rough granular scrubs that can cause micro‑tears.

🧴 4: Tone – Balance Your Skin

Toners rebalance pH and tighten pores. Choose alcohol‑free formulas:

• Oily Skin: Rose water.
• Dry Skin: Hyaluronic acid–based Toners.
• Sensitive Skin: Aloe Vera or Chamomile extract.

🌸 5: Moisturize – Hydration is Key

Even oily skin needs hydration—dehydration leads to excess oil production:

• Oily Skin: Lightweight gel moisturizers.
• Dry Skin: Rich creams with shea butter or ceramides.
• Sensitive Skin: Soothing ingredients like oat extract or calendula.

🪞 6. Sun Protection – The Non‑Negotiable Step

The harsh Pakistani sun causes premature aging, dark spots, and uneven tone.

Use broad‑spectrum SPF 70+ daily:
Choose non‑comedogenic (meaning they won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts) sunscreens.
Reapply every 3–4 hours when outdoors.

🌿 7. Weekly Treatments – Masks & Serums

• Clay masks – for oily/acne‑prone skin.
• Hydrating sheet masks – for dry or dull skin.
• Vitamin C serums – to brighten and reduce pigmentation.
• Niacinamide serums – to even out skin tone.
