Steps
Begin your day by
cleansing your skin. Washing removes impurities from your face that may have settled down on the skin during the night.
After washing your face with water, apply
toner. You may dab the toner on a cotton swab and apply it in a sweeping motion or pour the toner in your palms and pat it lightly all over your face. A toner helps to balance the pH level of your skin and ensures proper absorption of the next skin care products.
Use a
serum that addresses your skin issues. Serums are best for anti-aging benefits and can reduce skin issues, such as dark spots, hyperpigmentation, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Take a pea-sized amount of serum (or two pumps) and press it gently all over your face with your fingertips.
Apply a layer of
moisturizer on your face. A moisturizer keeps the skin hydrated, nourished, and radiant all day long. If you have oily skin, use a water-based moisturizer, and if you have dry skin, use a cream-based moisturizer. Massage the moisturizer gently all over your face and neck.
Don't Forget your SPF!
Sunscreen is vital step in your daytime routine. The sun's ultraviolet rays increase the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging. This damage can add up with time. Wearing sunscreen every day lowers those risks by protecting your skin from damaging UV rays. Make sure sunscreen everyday indoor/outdoor even on cloudy days as UV rays are still present.
