Is it okay to use different brands of skincare or should I stick to the one brand?

Do you think its okay to use different products?
I know it’s fine for make- up and body stuff but what about facial care?

Like using Nivea, Clinique and Lancome or sometihng?

Does it affect your skin in a negative way to use different brands?
I find that if I use all the same brand it doesn’t work as well with make- up but is that the same for skincare?

    idk ive used different brands, like proactive and clean and clear and it usually irritated my skin :( but then again i have sensitive skin so it might be okay for you.

    No, using whatever you need to use for facial care- regardless the brand, is ok. As long as it works for you, and you don’t have negative side affects then you’re fine.

    Its better to use just one brand. Combining multiple ones sometimes can be worse because of unwanted reactions between the different chemicals in the two.Ultimately, it can cause you to break out

    i would stay with the same brand. personally i find that switching brands causes my skin to break out at first because its not used to the product. a lot of other people are like that too.

    It all depends on your skins reactions to products. Some people can combine many different things and others have to stick to one brand. Just try out many different products until you find the ones that give you the best results!
