Building a consistent daily routine is the key to long-term skin health. Here’s a breakdown of the essential steps for morning and night:
Cleansing removes dirt, sweat, makeup and environmental pollutants. Choose a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip away your skin’s natural oils. For oily skin, a gel-based cleanser works well, while dry or sensitive skin benefits from cream or milk cleansers.
2. Toning (AM + PM)
Toners help restore the skin’s pH balance and tighten pores. They prepare your skin to absorb moisturizers and serums more effectively. Opt for alcohol-free formulas with ingredients like rose water, witch hazel, or green tea.
3. Serums (AM + PM)
Serums are concentrated formulations that target specific concerns—vitamin C for brightening, hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinamide for reducing pores, or retinol for anti-aging. A little goes a long way.
Moisturizers lock in hydration, support the skin barrier, and prevent dryness. Choose light, oil-free lotions for oily skin, or rich creams for dry skin.
SPF is non-negotiable. Daily sun exposure is the leading cause of premature aging and skin cancer. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher—even on cloudy days or indoors.
While your daily routine keeps the skin in check, weekly treatments offer deep care and rejuvenation.
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and unclogs pores. Use physical scrubs (with soft beads) or chemical exfoliants like AHAs (glycolic acid) and BHAs (salicylic acid), depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
Face masks can detoxify, hydrate, or soothe the skin. Clay masks help oily skin, while sheet masks or cream-based masks hydrate and calm dry or irritated skin.
