SKINCARE ROUTINES

A basic skincare routine includes cleansing, exfoliating, treating, and moisturizing. Here's a simplified version adaptable to different skin types and needs:

Oil Cleanser: is the first step in double cleansing, removing oil-based impurities like makeup and sunscreen gently and effectively.

Water-Based Cleanser: After the oil cleanser, a water-based cleanser is used to remove any remaining impurities and cleanse the skin thoroughly.

Exfoliation: uses physical scrubs or chemical exfoliants (BHAs beta hydroxy acids and AHAs alpha hydroxy acids) to remove dead skin cells and improve texture.

Toner: balance the skin's pH and moisture levels, typically alcohol-free and enriched with hydrating ingredients.

Essence: are lightweight, concentrated formulas that hydrate and enhance absorption of subsequent products.

Serum: target specific skin concerns like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or acne with concentrated active ingredients.

Sheet Mask: offer intensive treatments to hydrate, brighten, or soothe the skin.

Moisturizers hydrate and lock in moisture, varying in thickness based on skin type and time of day.

Eye Cream: hydrate and nourish the delicate eye area

Sunscreen: protects against UV damage, with formulas being lightweight and serum-like

This routine focuses on hydration and gentle exfoliation for healthy, glowing skin, adjusting based on your skin's needs.
