Having fantastic skin isn’t just about getting lucky with your genetics, it also comes from having a great skincare routine. Your morning and evening routines play a huge role in ensuring the health and beauty of your skin. In this article, we are going to discuss the three core steps that should always be included in your skincare routine.
The main goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin at its best and treat any type of blemishes that may crop up. The three core parts of your daily routine should include:
Every day cleaning will help to freshen your pores by removing unnecessary oils and any microscopic debris that may be plugging your skin. This part of your skin-care routine doesn’t have to be extreme, in fact, daily in-depth exfoliation may prove more harmful than helpful. So instead choose a gentle cleaner for everyday use, and an exfoliator type cleanser for once to twice per week use. Your skin will thank you! After you’re done cleaning and rinsing with lukewarm water, be sure to give one final rinse with cold water to close up your pores and keep your skin feeling fantastic.
The overall goal of any skin-care routine is to keep your skin healthy and your complexion clear. These two factors will keep your skin looking their best while additionally allowing you to take a closer look at problem areas. Use of a good toner will remove any remaining bits of oil, dirt, and debris that may have been left behind by the cleanser. More importantly, the toner will help soothe, nourish and hydrate your skin, all while restoring its delicate pH balance.
While some toners provide hydration to your skin, they won’t necessarily provide it with adequate moisture. What’s the difference you ask? Both moisturizers and hydrators server a similar purpose, however, it’s their methods that differ. Hydrators ensure your skin has the necessary water content within your skin, allowing it to be plump and bouncy. Moisturizers, on the other hand, work to keep the water within your skin where it belongs while softening and keeping dry skin smooth to the touch.
