What are the primary categories of skincare products?

Exfoliators, perfumes, sanitizers
Cleansers, toners, moisturizers, serum, mask, SPF
Foundations, concealers, powder
Shampoos, conditioners, styling products

The correct answer is: Cleansers, toners, moisturizers, serum, mask, SPF

The primary categories of skincare products encompass vital steps in maintaining and enhancing the skin's health and appearance. Cleansers remove dirt, makeup, and impurities from the skin, providing a clean base for other products. Toners help to restore the skin's pH balance and prep the skin for further treatment. Moisturizers are essential for hydrating the skin and maintaining its barrier, while serums, often packed with active ingredients, target specific skin concerns like wrinkles or hyperpigmentation. Masks offer intensive treatment and can address various skin issues in a more concentrated manner. Finally, SPF (sun protection factor) is crucial for protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, preventing premature aging and skin cancer. In contrast, the other options include products that either fall into the makeup or haircare categories, which are not focused specifically on the foundational skincare routine necessary for skin health.
