A skincare routine is a set of habits that you practice to take care of your skin, keeping it healthy, clear, youthful and glowing. A good skincare routine should be tailored to your skin type, which can vary based on factors such as genetics, age, and environmental influences.

Generally, a basic skincare routine includes these products: cleanser, toner, serums, moisturiser and sunscreen. Cleansing involves removing dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin, while toning helps to balance your skin’s pH and prep it for further treatment. Using serums with actives that helps you target your skin concerns, moisturising helps to hydrate and nourish your skin, protecting it from external stressors.

Here’s a breakdown of the essential steps of a good skincare routine:

• Cleanser : Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a creamy or oil-based cleanser, while those with oily skin might prefer a foaming or gel-based cleanser. A cleanser should be used in the morning and night before you apply the rest of your skincare.

• Toner : After cleansing, use a toner to help balance your skin’s pH and remove any remaining traces of dirt or oil. Look for a toner that contains ingredients that are suitable for your skin type, such as witch hazel or salicylic acid.

• Exfoliate :  Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week with a manual scrub or a chemical exfoliant helps you get rid of dead skin cells and it deeply cleanses your pores and remove dirt that your cleanser might not have reached. It allows new skin cells to surface and for your face to look radiant and refreshed. It helps your skin absorb the actives in the serum and moisture more effectively.

• Serum : Serums are formulated with concentrated and targeted actives for specific skin concerns. Different serums can be layered on if their ingredients are compatible, and should be layered from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. Your clean skin will absorb all the benefits of these actives and with regular use, you will see results in the decreased effects of your skin concerns. Our serums complement each other and can be layered to get multiple benefits.

• Moisturise : Moisturisers help improve skin hydration by adding and sealing the moisture content of your skin and to act as a protective barrier to prevent your skin from drying out throughout the day and other environmental stressors. Some moisturisers also have actives to help you firm and brighten up your skin. It helps increase your skins elasticity and overall skin health.

• SPF : SPF / Sunscreen should be evenly applied at the last step of your daily skincare routine and 30 minutes before you step out into the sun as it needs to be soaked into your skin before it is most effective against the harmful effects of UV rays. You will need to reapply your SPF again throughout the day if you are under long periods of sun exposure.

Remember, a good skincare routine should be consistent, so make sure to curate and follow a routine best suited for you every day to see the best results. It’s also important to be patient – it can take time to see improvements in your skin, but with consistency, you’ll be on your way to healthy, glowing skin.
