A Simple Skin Care Routine That Actually Fits Your Day
The best skin care routine is the one you will actually do every day. A few well-chosen steps go a long way.
Morning: cleanse and protect
Rinse or use a gentle cleanser, apply a light serum if you like, then moisturizer. Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days.
Evening: cleanse and treat
Wash off sunscreen and makeup, then apply your serum or treatment and a moisturizer. Evening is a good time for richer products.
How to use a serum
Use two or three drops on clean skin and press gently into the face and neck. Let it absorb for a minute before moisturizing.
Go slowly with new products
- Patch test on your inner arm or jawline first.
- Introduce one new product at a time.
- Give products a few weeks to show results.
- See a dermatologist for persistent acne, rashes or changing moles.
