Skin Type: Dry, Acne-Prone, and Super-Sensitive
No matter how expensive your skincare products are, no matter how many steps of the skincare routine you follow, if you do not know the correct skincare order, the products might not penetrate the layers well.
And, if the products do not react well with your skin cells, then what’s the point of having a skincare routine. A proper skincare order ensures not just proper layering of products but also enhances the efficacy of the products.
For one year, I have been following a particular skincare order. Often, my reader friends ask me about my skincare order. So, here is what I do to take care of my skin.
The starting of any day denotes that we need to prepare our skin for a day-long battle. It’s a constant battle against the environment and all the impurities.
So, we definitely need sunscreen; but, it’s definitely not the only thing we need. Let’s check out the skincare order in a healthy morning skincare routine.
Toners help to hydrate skin cells and also helps to take away all the dead skin cells. There was a time when alcohol-based toners were in vogue.
But, with new researches, people have realized that alcohol-free toners are the best for the utmost nourishment.
Well! I could have easily jumped to the moisturizer part right after toning. But, to prepare our skin for a long-day battle, it is important to give the skin nourishment.
As I do not have any requirement at present, thus. I have skipped a particular step here.
Right after serum, you need to apply a cream to remove if you have any blemishes. This is called spot-treatment.
This spot-drying treatment takes care of the blemish from inside and outside.
It is not essential at all, you can easily skip it if you do not want any topical treatment for your scars.
If anything goes wrong with our health, then we can easily predict that by looking at the eye area. It shows all signs of ageing, fine lines, darkness, and many other acute problems. And thus, a good eye cream is necessary.
Right after this step, you can apply a light facial oil. Well! It’s definitely not necessary. But, a light facial oil helps the moisturizer to settle down more which is just the next step.
Moisturizer ensures soft skin. No matter whether your skin is oily or dry, you always need a moisturizer. Here is a short tip to choose the right moisturizer as per your skin type.
Dry skin needs cream or a balm. Oily skin needs something on the gel side. And, people with normal to combination skin needs a bit thick moisturizer.
Always choose a moisturizer that is rich in ingredients like Glycerine, Antioxidants, Ceramides, etc.
A morning skincare order is entirely incomplete without this step. Save yourself from the signs of ageing and skin cancer by applying the right sunscreen generously.
And, that’s all for my basic morning skincare routine. You can stop it here just as I do. Else, you can layer up your favourite foundation or any other makeup right after it. Your skin is completely ready now to fight the pollutants and stress.
Always make sure that you read the ingredients prior to any purchase so that you do not end up buying a comedogenic product.
The night is the time when our skin rejuvenates and heals itself. This is the time when we need to take care of our skin that is already affected by the harsh sunlight.
The basic steps remain just the same. I just add a few extra steps to ensure proper healing of my skin.
Step 2 which is cleaning with a water-based or an oil-based cleanser, remains the same. I use the same face wash to take off the last traces of dirt and grime.
Step 5 is where I apply a hydrating mask twice a week. Choose any hydrating mask as per your skin type or requirement. Here is a list of sheet masks to choose from.
Step 6 is the application of eye cream. I use the same eye cream in the same manner as daytime.
Step 7 is the application of facial oil where I apply my holy grail Rosehip Oil the same way I did in the morning.
My skincare routine ends just right here. But, there is another step that many people follow and that is the application of a night cream or a sleeping mask. It is an entirely optional step.
All you need is a small amount enough to cover your face and neck.
If you are trying out a new product, always do a patch test on your arm.
Take a sample size of the product and apply on your arm or on some other sensitive areas of your body. Keep it in tact for 24 hours.
If you do not feel any irritation, the product is safe to apply on your face.
Well! Don’t feel pressured due to all these steps. As I always say that skincare routine varies from one person to another. It entirely depends upon the requirement, the budget, and also on the skin type.
Ten-step routines aren’t to everyone’s taste, so don’t feel pressured to include every step in the above lists.
It is a general thumb rule to layer up products on the basis of the textures i.e. from thin to thick.
Last but not the least, do what your skin loves the most.
