Step by step
Cleanse Your Face
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and makeup. Use lukewarm water and massage the cleanser into your skin for about 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
Exfoliate Weekly
Incorporate an exfoliating scrub into your routine once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells. This helps to brighten your complexion and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a moisturizer.
Apply a Hydrating Serum
After cleansing, apply a hydrating serum to lock in moisture. Look for serums with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration levels. A few drops are usually enough; gently pat it into your skin.
Moisturize Daily
Use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to keep it hydrated throughout the day. Apply it in upward circular motions to promote blood circulation and absorption.
Protect with Sunscreen
Finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UV damage. Apply it every morning, even on cloudy days, as sun exposure can lead to premature aging.

Troubleshooting
My skin feels dry after washing. Consider using a more hydrating cleanser or ensure you’re moisturizing immediately after washing.
I have breakouts after exfoliating. Make sure not to over-exfoliate; 1-2 times a week is sufficient, and always follow with a moisturizer.
My sunscreen leaves a white cast. Try using a tinted sunscreen or one formulated for your skin tone to avoid the white residue.
