What does a “perfect” skincare routine look like?

A good skin care regime involves toners, cleansing oil, moisturizers, and face masks, but the perfect routine depends on what you like, what your skin type is and what works for you!

Your skin care routine should consist of three main steps:

Cleansing or washing your skin to get rid of any dirt and impurities
Toning your skin to help balance out your complexion
Moisturizing your face to help it stay hydrated and create a healthy skin barrier

During the morning it is imperative that you apply a good sunscreen as the last step on your routine to protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun. Additionally, if you want to work on the problem areas of your skin, you should use those products in the morning before you use a moisturizer on your face. The moisturizer on top of your active ingredient products will help seal them in and absorb them deep into your skin.

During the night the most important thing to do is remove all of your makeup. Even if you are too tired to go through the rest of your routine, make sure that you at least clean every last bit of makeup off of your skin. Apart from that, make sure that you use an eye cream and a thicker moisturizer than you would during the day so as to help your skin heal itself during the night.

On the weekends you can chose to treat yourself to a little TLC. Sundays are a great day for you to exfoliate your skin and apply a face mask to help your skin prepare for the week ahead. It will help your skin feel rejuvenated, and help strengthen the barrier f your skin!
