Do you have a skin care routine? Or, do you just prefer to fall asleep each night and not worry too much about what is on your skin? The most important thing for having a perfect skin is to have a good skincare routine. Having a good skincare routine is so important for having a flawless face. Did you know your skin is one of the largest organs your body has? Investing early in the health of your skin, with regular skin care, will not only better protect it, but also keep you looking and feeling your best throughout the year.

 1. Cleanser

Washing your face is the most basic and essential step of any routine. Our skin comes in contact with environmental pollutants, dirt and other factors each day that should be gently removed. Wash your face with a gentle face wash at morning and make sure to double cleanse at night to remove your makeup. Double Cleansing is a two-step process that includes first, an oil-based cleanser (solid or liquid form which is used to remove oil-based impurities, including sebum, sunscreen and makeup) followed by a water-based cleanser (foaming or non-foaming and is used to remove water-based impurities, including sweat and dirt.

2. Exfoliator

You don’t always have to exfoliate, but exfoliating at least twice a week is important for a clear, polished skin. Sloughing off dead skin cells makes it easier for the rest of your skincare products to better absorb and do their magic.

3. Toner

Toners are the product that dampens your skin and balances its pH levels. It brings your skin back to its natural acidic state, sweeping impurities away and helping your skin absorb your skincare products. Simply dispense it onto a cotton pad and gently swipe around your face working outwards or use a spray toner and mist all over your face.

4. Serum

Serums directly treat the issues you’re most concerned about. Whether they target dull skin, large pores, pigmentation, wrinkles, or acne, serums are the ideal skin-perfecting step. Gently massage onto your skin. No skincare is complete without a high performing face serum.

5. Eye cream

The skin around your eyes is thin and delicate. The regular moisturizer wont be as much effective as an eye cream. An eye cream provides the area with extra helpings of hydration and protection. Use your ring finger and gently tap eye cream around the entire orbital bone, avoiding the water line. Never rub an eye cream while applying!

6. Moisturizer

Hydration is the key to dewy, glowing skin. They come in many forms—from a lotion, gel, or cream—all of which work to seal in moisture to plump up skin.  Depending upon your skin type you need to select the moisturizer that provides enough hydration and moisture to your skin. People with oily skin should also apply moisturizer, choose a lightweight instead of heavy moisturizer. And don’t forget to moisturize the neck!

7. Sunscreen

And even the top of all the most important thing to include in your skincare is sunscreen (obviously you only need to apply at morning!). No matter how good skincare routine you have if you don’t apply sunscreen your skin will be harmed by the sun exposure. Even if you’re stepping outside for just a couple of minutes, you must wear sunscreen. It’s the easiest and most effective way to prevent premature aging (and skin cancer!). Apply every morning, reapplying throughout the day as needed. It’s important to put this on last of your skincare so it can fully shield your skin from UV rays.

8. Extra steps

You want to add face and sheet masks at least once or twice a week to balance your skin health. Choose the one which you are mostly concerned of. There are variety of masks like  pore refining, hydrating, brightening and so on which can be beneficial for your skin. You can also multi mask by applying pore refining mask on oily areas and hydrating mask on dry areas.
