When we talk about skincare, you should start with the basics.
And there are 3 basic steps for you to start with.
The first step is to cleanse your face. It is very important to cleanse your face from any debris, makeup residue, pollutants and excess oil so that your skin is clean and healthy. In general, you should start your day with a gentle cleanser which is ph balanced. There are many formulations of cleanser available to suit every skin type so you should choose the right one for you. The first step is very crucial as it prepares your skin for the subsequent routine. Improper cleansing will only lead to irritation and opens the door to many other skin problem. Hence, make sure to start your routine with the right cleanser
Second step is to moisturize your skin. No matter your skin type, one should always moisturize their skin. It is very important to replenish back the moisture after cleansing your face. It helps to strengthen your skin barrier, prevent water loss and keep your skin smooth and supple. Irregardless of your skin type, moisturizing is a must. You should choose a moisturizer formulated for your skin type. For example, if your skin is more on the drier side, choose a moisturizer with a thicker consistency like creams as they have higher oil content and offers more long lasting hydration. If you have oily skin, opt for gel type moisturizers which is lightweight and have higher water content. Using a heavy moisturizer can clog your pores and lead to acne. Again, there is no one size that fits all so in the end you should use a moisturizer that suits your skin the best.
And last but not least, you must protect your skin against the harmful effect of UV rays. Complete your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an spf of at least 30. Finding the right sunscreen can be quite a challenge. The best sunscreen is a sunscreen that you will use on daily basis. Hence, choosing a suncreen you are comfortable with is very important.
