Quick and Easy Skin Care Routines

Putting together a skincare regime can be overwhelming. After all, there’s a gamut of brands offering a variety of skincare products.

If you’re unsure about how to build a skincare routine that suits your skin type, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there, and there’s no judgment here.

This expert-backed guide, however, will brush up on all the basics of skincare, so sit back, relax and read on.

Aim for A Simple Routine

If you’re creating your skincare regime for the first time, you don’t need to add many products. Keep it simple and start with the basics. The basics include:

Cleansing Product

Cleanse your face twice a day, in the morning and evening, is ideal. Morning cleansing removes any oil and sweat residue from your hair and pillow.

Exception: People with dry skin don’t need to cleanse their face twice a day. If you’re one of them, wash your face with plain water in the morning.

Never skip or compromise cleansing in the evening. Your face accumulates dirt, sweat, pollutants, oil and dead skin cells throughout the day. Cleansing helps remove all of it.

Beginners should go for a hydrating, gently cleanser because it suits every skin type.

Moisturizing Products

Moisturizer is a must after cleansing. Experts recommend a fragrance-free and oil-free moisturizer because it suits every skin – be it sensitive or acne-prone.

Use can use the moisturizing step to address other concerns. For instance:

• Use hyaluronic acid to restore skin.
• Use Vitamin C to brighten the skin and provide antioxidant protection.
• Ceramides provide a barrier and improve overall health.

Use Sunscreen

Your skin needs protection from harmful rays. Sunscreen offers protection against skin diseases caused by exposure to sunlight. Go for an SPF30 or higher sunscreen and use it daily before going it. Sunscreen should be the final step of your routine.

Sunscreens are categorized as mineral-based and chemical-based. Some sunscreens combine both formulas. Chemical sunscreens protect your skin against UV rays, whereas mineral sunscreens block the rays from penetrating the skin.

Add More When Needed

Once you have built your basic routine, you can expand it depending on your need. You can start with exfoliation, which you can add as the last time, once or twice a week. Other additional steps may include facial serums and face masks.
