It is an accepted fact that skin is the largest organ of our body and everybody’s skin is unique in terms of features. That is the reason why a personalized skincare regime is needed to maintain a healthy and gorgeous skin. The selection of skincare products largely depends on the type of skin you have; that is normal, dry, oily, or combination. There exists no single skincare product that is suitable for each skin type. Following is a helpful, step-by-step guideline to aid you in building a superb morning and nighttime skincare regime according to your skin type:
Morning Skincare Regime
Step 1: Cleanser
Start your morning skincare regime with a mild face wash that works best in cleaning out any dirt or impurities that tend to block your pores since night. Go for a cleanser that is packed with nutrients, and have skin-boosting ingredients that make your skin fresh and lively for the whole day.
Step 2: Toner (depends on your need)
Toner helps in exfoliating dead skin cells, tightening your pores, and giving an even skin tone. For sensitive or dry skin, a morning toner can irritate your skin. Therefore, it is better to consult your dermatologist before including in your personalized skincare regime.
Step 3: Serum
You can define serum as a concentrated but vitamin-rich formula that caters several skin issues. It has antioxidants that play a crucial role in combating fine lines and keeping your skin hydrating no matter whatever the skin type. Using serum in the morning protects your skin all day long.
Step 4: Eye Cream
If you include eye cream in your morning skincare regime, you can boost the elasticity and firmness of the delicate skin around your eye area, thus avoiding chances of skin sagging and fine lines as you grow older.
Step 5: Moisturizer Plus SPF
Always chose a moisturizer with SPF. It works in two ways. Firstly, it maintains the required moisture in your skin. Secondly, it forms a protective layer against harmful sun rays that can damage your skin. In fact, moisturizer with SPF acts as a wonderful anti-aging product.
Step 6: Lip Balm
If you want to protect your lips from dryness and fine lines, include a lip balm in your personalized skincare routine to keep them moisturized and soft.
Nighttime Skincare Regime
Your skin repairs itself during nighttime, therefore you need to help your skin in regeneration and prepare your skin for the next day with an effective nighttime regime.
Step 1: Cleansing
If your skin is covered with makeup, then you need two individual cleansers; first is makeup remover, and the second is facial cleanser to get rid of dead skin and dirt particles that have ruined your skin throughout the day.
Step 2: Exfoliate (if needed) and Use Toner
Whether your skin needs exfoliation or not depends on the type of your skin. Oily skin need to be exfoliated frequently compared to dry skin. After exfoliation, you should use a toner to clean your skin thoroughly before sleeping.
Step 4: Apply Your Special Essence
You can add any special essence to your personalized skincare regime. It can be facial oil, anti-aging serum, or other concentrate that can give your skin an additional boost and glow.
Step 5: Eye Cream
During nighttime, use eye cream that has been specifically made to apply over night.
Step 6: Mask On
You can apply a face mask that specifically caters to your skin concerns. It acts as an additional luxurious element to your personalized skincare routine. During this time, you can relax while giving your skin a soothing effect.
Step 7: Moisturize All Over
Lastly, complete your personalized skincare regime by moisturizing your face, neck, lips, chest, hands and feet.
