The Best Skin Care Routine For Beginners

Want to learn the beginner way to take care of your skin? Here are 5 steps on how to get started. 

But…. If you have gray hair and pay a mortgage, then get out of  here, this is for the teenagers who have issues because they sure do have a lot of them.

Step 1: Facial cleanser

A facial cleanser removes acne-causing particles such as bacteria, debris, and dirt. As a result, you will have clear skin and a reduced chance of getting pimples. Facial cleanser is also known to remove excess oils from the face, leaving you with unclogged and smaller pores.

How to use it: Using circular motions, apply the cleanser to your face. Instead of using your hands, try using your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

When to use it: Morning and Night

Step 2: Toner

Toner makes your skin even cleaner by removing any remaining dirt from your face, even after cleaning it. It prepares the skin for serum application and balances pH levels. Toner provides all of this while also keeping your face relaxed and refreshed.

How to use it: Before applying toner, cleanse your face and ensure it is still wet. Then, using a cotton pad, apply 2-3 drops of toner to your face.

Step 3: Face mask

A face mask might be clay, sheet, clay gel, or cream. All have been shown to eliminate oil and dry up pimples. This procedure reduces the appearance of acne and dark spots caused by pimples. After applying a face mask, take 10-30 minutes for the ingredients to take effect; expect to notice smaller pores, clearer skin, and a smoother face.

How to use it: If you’re using both a face mask and a toner, make sure to start with the face mask first. This allows for better results from both products. Remember to apply evenly to dry, closed skin areas and to follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Step 4: Moisturizer

The purpose of facial moisturizer is to alleviate dryness and irritation on the face. It can appear as a gel, cream, oil, and many other forms. Its efficient barrier protection shields the skin from rashes and minor sunburns. Facial moisturizers are also known to stop acne, as the added product can keep bacteria and infections away.

How to use it: Use a nickel-sized amount when applying the moisturizer of your choice. Spread the product over your forehead, nose, and chin area, and finish by tapping the moisturizer in. Don’t forget to moisturize your neck in upward motions as well.

Step 5: Spot treatment

Spot treatments can be found in a wide range of products and are widely recognized for reducing the swelling and discomfort of zits. They also get rid of germs and assist with numerous skin impurities, including drying up blemishes. This is one of the most effective ways of fighting acne. Spot treatments can also help with discolorations and sunspot corrections.

How to use it: Ensure your hands are clean before applying the spot therapy to the affected area. Use a small amount 1-2 times, and be sure to follow the product’s directions for optimal results.

Bonus step: pimple patches

Pimple patches are not just cute trendy stickers; they are known for absorbing excess fluids, and with this, they can decrease pimple sizes. Many spot treatments exfoliate the skin, which can leave you with fresh, even skin.

How to use it: Select the pimple patch and apply it directly to your acne spot. Leave it on for 8-10 minutes, or as listed on the product’s packaging. Peel off the pimple patch and discard.

When to use it: As needed
