A Simple Skincare Routine That Works: 4 Easy Steps
Keeping up with a skincare routine can feel overwhelming, especially with so many products and steps out there. But it doesn’t have to be complicated! Here’s a simplified skincare regimen with just four key steps that are essential for healthy, glowing skin. Let’s break it down:
1. Cleanse
The first step in any skincare routine is cleansing. This step helps wash away oils, dirt, and bacteria that build up throughout the day. It’s important to choose a cleanser that’s designed for your skin type:
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, opt for something with salicylic acid. One great option is the Beta Hydroxy Cleanser by Dermodality—perfect for keeping those breakouts at bay.
For those with sensitive skin, a gentler option is ideal. Try Gentle Foaming Cleanser by Dermastart - Clear Choice for a soothing cleanse without irritation.
2. Treat
This step is where the magic happens. Serums are your best friend for targeting specific skin concerns. Because serums are thinner than creams, they penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, making them super effective and fast-acting.
Serums like Vitamin C: Intense, Vitamin A: Intense, and M: Corrective are great for brightening, evening out skin tone, and tackling fine lines. This step can be a game-changer for your skin!
3. Moisturize
Here’s where I surprise many people: I don’t typically recommend moisturizers for everyone. (Wait, what?!) Yes, you read that right. Moisturizers are great for super dry or sensitive skin, but not always necessary for others.
However, I do always recommend an eye moisturizer, like the Restore Eye Cream—it’s the bomb! The skin around your eyes is thinner and produces less oil, which means it’s more prone to dryness and fine lines. Plus, this area ages faster due to all the squinting, frowning, and blinking we do daily.
4. Protect (Morning Only)
The last step, and arguably the most important one in the morning, is sunscreen. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial to prevent premature aging and skin damage. Choose a sunscreen with at least 9% - 12% zinc oxide.
My best seller is the Clear Choice SPF 45 Sport Shield. It’s lightweight, won’t clog your pores, and has a delightful scent! Make this your final step in your morning routine and you’ll be set for the day.
