A simple guide to building your skincare routine
A good routine doesn't need to be complicated. Start with products that suit your skin and introduce new formulas gradually.
1. Cleanse gently
Choose a cleanser suited to your skin's needs. Avoid over-cleansing, especially when your skin feels dry or uncomfortable. Explore cleansers.
2. Add a targeted treatment
Serums can support goals such as improving the appearance of dryness or uneven tone. Start one product at a time to learn how your skin responds.
3. Moisturize
Use a moisturizer that keeps your skin comfortable. Dry and combination skin may need different textures or seasonal adjustments.
4. Protect with sunscreen
During the day, finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Sunscreen is essential even if you are using botanical skincare products.
5. Treat masques and exfoliants as optional
Add them only if your skin tolerates them, following current product directions and avoiding unnecessary over-exfoliation.
