Skincare Routine

Night:

1. Begin by removing all and any makeup you have on your face from the day before. Makeup wipes typically work best on the entire face, so try to stick with those. If not, soap and water is fine.

2. Wash your hands to remove any of the dirt your fingers may have collected during the day or even when you had taken off your makeup. Also using a washcloth, wet down your face. This will allow the product to work. Then begin with your face wash. Personally, I use one for sensitive skin or combination skin. Pumping a small amount into your fingertips, begin exfoliating it into your skin. After at least thirty seconds, you can remove the product.

3. With a cotton ball or pad, apply an appropriate amount to it and begin sweeping it across the most problematic portions of your skin. This should include any areas where oil is excessive (like the T-Zone) and areas where acne is present. Don’t be too generous with a toner product because it tends to dry out skin and it could irritate it.

4. After that dries, pick up a moisturizer for your skin type. Even if you have the oiliest skin in the world, you will need a moisturizer to help protect your skin from the weather and prevent future wrinkles. If you do have oily skin, there are oil free and gel moisturizers that do the same as any regular moisturizer would. Applying a pump into your fingertips, begin massaging that into your skin and neck.

Day:

1. Wash your face with your daily moisturizer to remove any of the dirt that may have been picked up from your pillow.

2. Moisturize once again.

3. Drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your skin particularly clear. Water has been proven to reduce breakouts and acne.
