Daily Skin Care Routine – 5 Simple Steps For Every Skin Type

3. Toning

Alcohol-free toner with ingredients like sodium PCA, witch hazel, or geranium is the way to go when dealing with oily skin. These astringent ingredients help clean your skin and refine skin pores without damaging or dehydrating your skin.

4. Moisturizing

Contrary to popular belief, moisturizing is crucial even for oily skin types. Dehydrated skin can kick your sebaceous glands into overdrive, leaving your skin in a worse condition than before.

Look for oil-free moisturizers. Water-based, non-comedogenic gels and lotions are usually a good option for oily skin. These products feel light on your skin, keep it hydrated, and leave it with a matte finish. If you have extremely oily skin, you can choose to invest in a good hydrating gel.

5. Sunscreen

Slathering on sunscreen may not seem appealing if you have oily skin. However, this is because you probably have not been using the right products. Instead, use gel-based, matte-finish sunscreens. Products with zinc oxide can make a world of difference to your skincare routine. These products leave your skin with a matte finish while also preventing breakouts.

For Night

1. Cleansing

Use the same cleanser that you use in the morning.

2. Toning

Tone your face with the same toner you use for your morning routine.

Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

The skincare routine for dry skin should focus on hydration.

For Morning

1. Cleansing

Invest in a mild cleanser that does not lather or foam. It is gentle on your skin and gets rid of dirt without stripping it of moisture.

2. Toning

Toners specifically designed for dry skin can keep it moisturized, nourished, and soothe redness. Look for hydrating toners containing green tea, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, chamomile extract, and glycerin.

3. Serum

An antioxidant serum will help reinforce your skin’s defense. It also helps curb collagen breakdown. Look for ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E.

4. Moisturizing

A moisturizer gives your skin the hydration it needs. Pick a moisturizer that has a thick consistency and contains hydrating ingredients, such as dimethicone, ceramides, and glycerin. Also, make sure that the formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic.

5. Sunscreen

Pick a sunscreen that has a serum-like formula. The rule of sun protection remains the same – pick a formula with at least SPF 30 and PA+++ rating.
