SKINCARE ROUTINE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT

February 27, 2023

It’s hard to look at a pristine full of beautiful luxury skin-care products and not think I need all of this on my face immediately. Or maybe you’re someone who would love to have an actual skin-care routine but just thinking about setting foot in a #Sephora is overwhelming.

Either way, you’ll be glad to know that experts tell us a real honest-to-goodness skin-care regimen only needs a few important elements. And in fact, most of us would probably be better off sticking to the simpler end of things.

3 steps skincare routine

Step 1: Cleanser

Choosing a cleanser that’s specifically formulated for the face (rather than the body) is the first essential step in a basic skincare routine.

Many products marketed toward people with acne or oily skin contain beads or other particles to exfoliate the skin, but twice a day exfoliation is more than anyone needs. In fact, harsh face washes can irritate and worsen acne in many people. If your skin is acne-prone, focus on finding products that are non-comedogenic, which means that they do not contain pore-clogging ingredients.

For most people, keeping it simple with a gentle formula is best. Those with especially sensitive skin should use washes free of dyes, fragrance, and alcohol to further minimize irritation. If your skin is very dry, you may like a cream or oil-based face wash instead of a foaming formula. The goal of cleansing is to remove makeup, dirt, oil, and sweat without stripping your skin of the good bacteria and essential moisture that it needs.

Step 2: Moisturiser

After cleansing the skin, you should apply a moisturizer, even if your skin doesn’t feel tight or dry. When you use a face lotion, you help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which protects it from infection and irritation. Pro tip: moisturiser works best when you apply it to damp skin, so slather it on right after cleansing.

It’s a common myth that people with oily skin do not need moisturizer. In fact, using a non-comedogenic moisturizer can help reduce the skin’s natural oil production. If you skip this step, your skin will continue to overproduce oil to maintain the moisture barrier.

Choosing a moisturizer that feels great on your skin may take a few tries, but there are a few guidelines that can help you find the perfect one: If you have dry skin, you may like a richer formula, so search for products with the word “cream” in them. If you have oily skin, you’ll probably prefer lighter products, so look for formulas with the word “lotion” in them. Choose lighter moisturizers for the daytime and summer. Choose thicker products for night-time and winter.

Step 3: Sunscreen

The third and final step in a basic, effective skincare routine is sunscreen.

The more sun exposure your skin gets, the greater your risk for developing skin cancer, but it’s not just the long days at the beach that put you at risk. Every time you walk your dog, travel between your car and the grocery store, or sit in front of a window, you add to your lifetime UV exposure, which increases your cancer risk. Using sunscreen daily, whether you’ll be outside all day or not, is a great way to lower your chances of developing skin cancer.

In addition to preventing skin cancer, wearing sunscreen can also prevent premature aging. UVA rays from the sun don’t cause sunburns, but they do penetrate deep into the skin to cause wrinkles and fine lines. If you want to keep your skin smooth and youthful for as long as possible, then a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB protection) sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher may just be the very best anti-aging product you can use.

How often should I see a dermatologist?
