The Basics
A daily and nightly skincare routine is a great way to show yourself some TLC and make sure you are keeping your largest organ healthy. If you are starting from the beginning or just looking to change up your routine, the vastness of the skincare industry can feel overwhelming.
No matter your skin concerns you will want to start with a clean face then apply your active ingredients and always finish by sealing it all in with moisturizer. It can be as simple as that! Check out our curated morning and night skincare routine with expert tips below.
The Routine
1. Cleanse
First step: wash your face. Face wash is designed to clean the skin so make sure your wash isn't packed with surfactants. Surfactants are soaps that can draw oil and dirt from pores, stripping moisture from the skin and leading to dryness, itchiness or redness. This is where a gentle, hydrating face wash is key! Some skincare professionals recommend double cleansing at night as your skin has been exposed to so many elements throughout the day.
2. Tone
The efficacy for toners is often debated in the skincare community. Some swear by toners powerful pore tightening capacity, and some totally skip this step. If you decide to tone, don't worry, you don't have to use a harsh astringent! Toners of today are much more gentle and soothing. If you are using a toner, make sure to use before your serum.
3. Serum
Serums are highly-concentrated formulas that absorb faster into the skin to replenish and nourish nutrients. WE ARE DEFINITELY ON TEAM SERUM.
