It seems like every cosmetic line is coming up with the next miracle product to keep your skin young and supple. The secret to great skin is a good skincare regimen. Today we’re going to help you create the best skincare routine that you will actually stick to, so be alert and take notes!
Wishy Washy
Never skip out on washing your face. Choose a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. Gel cleansers are best for oilier skin. Cream cleansers are great for anyone with dry to normal skin. You should wash your face in the morning and at night and be sure not to sleep with makeup. Like ever!
Tone it Down
Look for a gentle toner to remove the residue and impurities your cleanser didn’t pick up. A toner should be used day and night. A toner also preps your skin for makeup and locks moisture into your skin.
A Little Extra Somethin’
Using a serum is always a good move and super effective. It keeps your skin looking young and youthful. Although serums penetrate deeper into the skin, they are not really moisturizers. Serums are treatments and should be used before your moisturizer.
Soft and Smooth
Get a good moisturizer and that caters to your skin’s needs. If you’re oily or have acne prone skin, look for one that is oil-free. If you’re more on the dry side, try a cream moisturizer that’s a little bit heavier to aid your dry, tight skin. Try to choose a moisturizer that has SPF or buy a sunblock for your face to include in your skincare routine. To learn more on facial moisturizers, read on our blog.
Skin Treats
The best skincare routine also includes a weekly mask to help suck out all of the dirt and oil to unclog pores. There are also masks to hydrate your skin to and plenty more that target other skin types or problem skin. We also have some great DIY masks for various skin concerns you can check out here!
Nighty, Night!
Before you say goodnight and knock out, a night cream would be nice to apply beforehand. You might ask why can’t you just use your daily moisturizer? Well, a night cream is a little heavier and is meant to restore the skin while you sleep, plus it doesn’t include a SPF like most day creams do.
Best Skincare Routine
Your skin is your canvas, therefore you should take good care of it. This is the best skincare routine and it’s simple! The most important skincare tip we can end this with is get to know your skin. Our skin changes all the time, so it’s important that you’re using products that meet your skin’s needs.
