“Taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up.”

Step 1

The first step in any skincare routine is to cleanse your skin. This will remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin. You should use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a creamy cleanser or an oil based cleansers so it doesn't strip all the oils from your skin. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, you may want to use a gel cleanser. Any gel is great for oily skin, as gel is really cooling and it has moisturising elements to balance out oily skin.

Step 2

The second step is to exfoliate your skin. This will help to remove dead skin cells from your skin. Again, you should use an exfoliating product that is suitable for your skin type. For those have sensitive skin, you may want to use a gentle exfoliator. Anyone with sensitive skin should choose gentler options for exfoliation, like a product with a low percentage of an AHA or BHA, or a chemical exfoliant pad. If you have oily skin, you may want to use a more aggressive exfoliator.


Keep in mind, you should not exfoliate if you have any open wounds, cuts and sunburn, as this could further irritate your skin. 


Not only this, you shouldn't exfoliate too often this can cause damage to the skin known as micro-tears. Which can result in the skin barrier becoming weaker and can cause it to lose its ability to regenerate.

The third step is to moisturize your skin. This will help to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a heavier cream moisturizer this will provide a thicker base for the skin. But if you have oily skin, you may want to use a lighter lotion moisturizer.  


Try find a moisturizer that has an SPF and apply it to all exposed areas of your face, neck, and ears. Its a perfect way to moisturize and start to protect your skin from the sun.

Step 4

"A toner's job is meant to gently refresh your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. This means toner wont irritate sensitive skin or cause excessive dryness. Toners' also prepares the skin to drink up your post-cleansing moisturizer and any other skin treatments that you may apply - Neutrogena."


The fourth step is to tone your skin. This will help to restore the pH balance of your skin. You should use a toner that is suitable for your skin type. Those who have oily skin are able to use most toners however if you have dry skin, you may want to find and only use hydrating toners.

The fifth and final step is to apply a serum or face oil. This will help to nourish your skin and give it a boost of hydration. We suggest if you have dry skin, you may want to use a hydrating serum or face oil. This will not only help hydrate your face but also give you skin that dewy look that you may not always have. If you have oily skin, you may want to use a mattifying serum or face oil. This will help reduce the overly dewy look that you would get with other serums and face oils.
