Skincare is all about self-care. It boosts self-confidence and self-esteem to create a positive impact on your daily life. Proper skincare is highly essential to protect your skin from current-day pollution and lifestyle changes. So for glowing and healthy skin here are the morning and night skincare routines you need to follow…….
MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE
For a best morning skincare routine, you need to follow these five steps which keep your skin protected and glowing throughout the day.
STEP-1: CLEANSING
The first step in the morning skincare is to cleanse your skin to remove the dirt and sweat that accumulated on your skin the whole night. Take a pinch of cleanser into your palms, apply it on your face followed by a smooth massage, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
STEP-2: TONING
Toner prepares your skin for the whole day by keeping the skin hydrated and helps to shrink facial pores, removing the leftover dirt after cleansing. After cleansing take a small amount of toner and then you can apply it with your hands, also you can either use spray toner or a cotton ball to apply toner and wait a minute for the next step for correct absorption.
STEP-3:SERUM
A good quality serum helps you in many ways which include skin brightening, anti-aging, acne treatment, wrinkles, and dark spots, etc. Serums are concentrated so a pea-sized amount of serum is enough for one-time use, take a small amount of serum and apply it gently by constantly rubbing it on the face and neck.
STEP-4:MOISTURIZER
Moisturizer is helpful mostly in hydration and repairing your skin from damage, it helps with both oily and dry skin types. Gently massage your face by taking a small amount of moisturizer into your hands.
STEP-5:SUNSCREEN
And last but not least sunscreen is the most important step in our daily skincare, which protects your skin from harmful sun rays while you step out for your work. It also protects your skin from getting skin cancer. Ensure to apply sunscreen in the areas of sun exposure before 15-30 minutes you go out so that it will be effective once you step out of the house.
NIGHT SKINCARE ROUTINE:
As morning, a night skincare routine is also very important to eliminate all toxins accumulated on your skin for the whole day and to enhance your beauty for the next day. Here are the four important steps for the night skincare.
STEP-1:DOUBLE CLEANSE
In the double cleansing process first, you need to use an oil-based cleanser to remove the makeup, sunscreen, and oil. After cleansing you can wash it off with lukewarm water. Second, a water-based cleanser removes sweat, oil, and any leftover impurities after oil cleansing. This helps your skin feel fresh and deep cleans your skin.
STEP-2&3: TONER AND SERUM
For the 2nd and 3rd steps in the night skincare, you can use the same toner and serum that are included in the morning skincare, which will help you tighten your pores and keep your skin glowing.
STEP-4:MOISTURIZER/NIGHT CREAM
You can repeat with the same moisturizer that you have used in the morning for hydrating skin. Night creams are generally thick and they help repair the skin, brighten the skin, and most importantly exfoliate the skin.
UNDERSTANDING SKIN TYPE:
Now let’s understand what type of products you should use based on your skin type. Understanding the skin type is very much essential to follow a routine. It may take some time to understand your skin type as it may be oily in winter and dry in summer and vice versa. So you can self-examine your skin type all at home after waking up early in the morning if your skin is shinier then it is oily skin, if your skin is shiny on the nose and your forehead is dry in the rest of places then it is combination skin, if your skin is dry and rough in the mornings it is dry skin and last if you are experiencing redness or burning sensation while applying any harsh chemical based products then you have sensitive skin. The night before you self-examine your skin do not apply more skincare products leave it just with a lightweight moisturizer. So, let’s now get an idea about what type of products should you use based on your skin type:
OILY SKIN:
Use an oil-free cleanser containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and glycolic acid, a gel-based moisturizer that can help you manage excess oil, use a vitamin C serum that can help in removing excess oil from your skin and you can skip sunscreen if it is over oily if not try to use lightweight water-based sunscreen above spf 30.
DRY SKIN:
For dry skin, you need to use a hydrating cleanser and moisturizer containing glycerin, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid. Dry skin needs more hydration so try to use products that are hydrating, gentle cleansers, serum-containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E, and plant-based oils such as argan oil.
COMBINATION SKIN:
Use a gentle and foaming cleanser that removes excess oil from your nose and forehead area, then use a hydrating moisturizer. You can also use sunscreen which is not greasy and use a serum containing glycerin and hyaluronic acid which balances both oily and dryness on your skin.
SENSITIVE SKIN:
For sensitive skin use fragrance-free products which contain ingredients such as aloe vera or ceramides. Avoid harsh chemical-based products and use gentle and lightweight products.
So, why to wait examine your skin type know the products, and follow the skincare routine to get healthy and glowing skin forever.
