THE DO’s
Do Cleanse Gently Start with a gentle cleanser that matches your skin type. Removing impurities and excess oil without stripping the skin is vital. Look for cleansers with mild ingredients, stay tuned for further explanation.
Do Use Sunscreen Daily Sunscreen is your skin's best friend. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days. Sun protection prevents premature aging, reduces the risk of skin cancer, and helps certain ingredients not become inactive, like Vitamin C.
Do Apply Products in the Right Order The order of application matters. Start with the lightest consistency products like serums, then move to heavier creams; if skin is dry and it is the winter. This ensures maximum absorption and efficacy.
Do Patch Test New Products Before incorporating a new product into your routine, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount on your wrist or behind your ear to check for any adverse reactions.
Do Stay Consistent Consistency is key in skincare. Stick to your routine and give products time to work. Results may take several weeks to become visible.
THE DON’TS
Don't Over-Exfoliate Exfoliating is essential but should be done in moderation. Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and damage your skin barrier. Limit exfoliation to 2-3 times a week.
Don't Skip Moisturizer Regardless of your skin type, moisturizing is crucial. Skipping this step can lead to dryness and imbalance. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type, whether oily, dry, or combination.
Don't Use Too Many Products Using too many products can overwhelm your skin and cause breakouts. Stick to a simple routine with essential steps: cleanse, treat, moisturize, and protect.
Don't Ignore Your Neck and Hands Extend your skincare routine to your neck and hands. These areas are also prone to aging and need just as much care as your face.
