How to build a skincare routine in 5 easy steps!

Maintaining a Skincare Routine requires some work but it does not have to be hard work. Especially when it’s a daily occurrence! I’m here to help you know the basics and give you all tips on how to build a routine that will not only help your skin but won’t weigh you down in the morning or before you hop into bed.

                Step 1

Choose a cleanser to kick off your routine! For dry skin, you are going to want a more milky cleanser. It applies very similar like a lotion such as the Skinceuticals Gentle Cleanser.

For oily skin, then the Skinceuticals Simply Clean gel will help leaving your squeaky clean and refresh!

                Step 2

Eye Cream, everyone over the age of 20 should be using an eye cream!!

The skin under our eyes happens to be the thinnest skin on our face, it’s where we see our aging first! My favorite is the AOX Eye gel – this eye gel helps with my dark circles while giving me a boost of caffeine for my under eyes!

If you suffer from drier under eyes, then you will want the AGE eye complex, this little gem helps hydrate the skin while help getting rid of the creepy texture under the eyes!

                Step 3

Serum and/or corrective product; this one is regulated based on your skin concerns and skin types.

For example, in the morning I use my antioxidant Phloretin Cf to help with my discoloration on the face. However, at night I use the Age and Blemish serum to maintain my skin from going back down the acne route.

I love serums; they are so beneficial for the skin and packed with lots of good stuff. Skinceuticals carries a wide array of serums targeted for acne, skin sensitivities and redness, pigmentation and even to amplify hydration of the skin.

                Step 4

Moisturizer is SUPER key for keeping your skin healthy. This is my go to in my skincare Routine.

Even if you are an oily one… you still must keep your skin hydrated to avoid over production of your oil sebum glands.  The Hydrating B5 gel is ideal for oily skin or anyone looking for a lighter weight moisturizer. The gel has hyaluronic acid and vitamins that will transform your skin while soaking in just like water!

My other favorite moisturizer is a bit heavier but it’s fabulous! The triple lipid maintains the skins moisturizer while healing the skin’s barrier, which helps with texture, roughness, dullness, and loss of firmness!

                Step 5

This is commonly overlooked and over passed but incorporating the proper sunscreen is important.

Applying a physical block spf is like the cherry just topping it all off. This product will not only protect you from the sun but also the damaging factors floating in the air! I noticed super small pigment spots coming to the surface on the tops of my cheeks, thankfully I have not seen them getting worse or darker! Yay we offer several different time of formulas to help both the oily skins and even the dry skins!

So now take a step back and take a look at your skin care regiment… are you exercising the basics of your skin care routine? If not… ask yourself “are you truly happy with your skin?” if the answer is no, then take these tips and make minor tweaks in your skincare routine. I promise.. you will see heaps of changes in your skin!
