Always start your regimen by cleansing your face for a clean canvas. This includes using a makeup remover to remove stubborn, waterproof makeup that has been sitting on your skin for the entire day.
2. Tone
Toners usually act as a second cleansing method for any dirt that your cleanser wasn’t able to wash off initially. Some toners also act as a pH balancing agent and have moisturising properties that prep your skin for the next skincare product that you’re going to apply within your routine.
3. Use Serums
These potent formulations offer powerful benefits for your skin like no other. They’re usually best for targeting specific skin concerns like acne, anti-ageing and soothing dry and flaky skin and come in a range of different forms to suit your skin’s needs.
4. Moisturise
Regardless of whether you have oily or dry skin, it is always recommended that you moisturise. Not only do moisturisers help nourish and hydrate your skin, but they also seal in all the goodness that you have slathered onto your face in the serum step of your skincare routine.
5. Protect
During the day, the last step of your skincare routine should be to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Regardless of how cloudy or rainy it is outside, it’s important to always protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Just because you can’t see the sun, it doesn’t mean that these rays aren’t being reflected or that it’s not penetrating even the cloudiest of weather!
