So you want to start a skincare routine, but you have some questions: How many products do you have to use? Which ones are right for your skin? In what order should you be applying these products? And what do those products even do?
1. Cleanse
Cleansing is the first step of any good skincare routine. The type of cleanser you use matters more than you think it does — gentle face washes are the way to go, particularly if you plan on using more active ingredients down the line.
2. Tone
Toner is a discretionary advance, yet on the off chance that you have a toner you like, you ought to totally utilize it. In the event that you have skin inflammation inclined skin, search for a toner with fixings like salicylic corrosive to quiet breakouts. On the off chance that you have dry or delicate skin, select a hydrating toner to mitigate.
3. Vitamin C Serum
When it comes to serums, it recommends using a vitamin C serum during the day. “I feel like everybody should use vitamin C, no matter what your age, even starting in your 20s. It helps reverse a lot of the damage that we get from the sun and pollution. When using a vitamin C serum, look for one that contains a stable form of vitamin C, so that the molecule will actually be able to soak into your skin.
4. Eye Cream
Eye Cream falls into the “treat” category. Dab on eye cream using your ring finger (your weakest finger) so you don’t unintentionally cause damage to your eye area.
5. Moisturizer
After you’ve treated your skin, it’s time to moisturize. The moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated and helps strengthen your skin barrier.
