What is a “good” skin care routine?
Simply washing your face twice a day is a good start – but there is more you could be doing. The goal of a skin-care routine is to use products that will have the best effect on your skin, while targeting any trouble areas. When developing an effective skin care routine, keep in mind
1. Begin by finding products that are made for your skin type. Is your skin dry, oily, normal, or a combination of these? Once you find a skin care product you want to try, you should know that you may not see results until you use it for a month or more.
2. Your skin changes as you age, which is why a product you used to use may not seem to be doing what it used to. It might be time to find a new one!
3. Washing your face twice a day is, of course, the first step towards beautiful skin, but toner and moisturizer help too. Toner helps to get rid of any debris that your face wash missed, and moisturizer helps your skin retain moisture and is necessary even if you have oily skin.
4. What you eat and drink makes a difference. Drink lots of water and maintain a healthy diet, and remember that habits such as smoking affect your skin, too.
5. Daily care is important, but getting a deep clean of your skin, such as with facials, is important, too.
