Basic Skincare Routine

 In this post I am gonna be sharing complete skin care routine and necessary steps that we must follow to make our skin healthy and glowing. 

One thing I want to mention here is that you have to take care of yourself and your skin at your own. No one gonna this for you. And no one can better take care of yourself other than you. You need to give important to yourself. And now if you have decided to take care about your skin. So here i am to help you.

Now start with today's topic which is skincare. Basically you should follow daily and weekly skincare for better result.

DAILY SKIN CARE 

Daily skincare is further divided into morning and night time skincare. There is only a slight difference between them so i am not gonna mention them separately. 

In daily skincare ,there are three essential steps cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

1. Cleansing 

First step is to clean your face. Before using any face wash you should first remove your makeup. Even if you have used very little makeup like just a bb cream or concealer first remove that. After removing your makeup you should go for cleanser. Which remove all the dirt and makeup particles left in your pores. You can use whichever face wash you like and suits you. 

How to use: Wet your face , take face wash rub it with your finger , apply it on your face than wash it off with lukewarm water.

2. Toning 

After cleansing, next step is toning. Toning helps to shut the pores that are open because of  face wash. It tights your skin temporarily and refreshes your skin . It also helps to better absorb moisturizer.Again you can use whichever toner you like. Rose water is the best and natural toner of all time.

How to use: The best way to apply tonner is to tab it on your face with fingers or cotton pads. Don't massage toner it will automatically absorb into your skin. you can also use spry bottle for easy application.

3. Moisturizing 

Next and last step of daily skincare is moisturizing your face properly. It hydrates your skin, reduce wrinkles, repair your skin and also nourishes your skin. 

The only difference between morning and night skin care is of moisturizer. 

In the morning routine use moisturizer which has little bit of SPF if you are staying at home. But if your are going out definitely use a sun screen after moisturizing and before using makeup.  No matter if it's winter or summer or it's sunny or not, you have to use sun screen before going out. Sun screen protects your skin from harmful rays. And most of skin problems caused because of not protecting your skin from sun.

At night use moisturizer which have repairing and revitalizing elements because when you are relaxing and sleeping these elements work better and repair your skin.

How to use: Take appropriate amount on your hand then apply it on your face. Massage it on your face until it is absorbed. 

Eyes and lips are the most sensitive parts of our face. They need extra protection and care. Using an eye cream and lip balm must be essential part of skincare routine. You should use an eyecream at night. And lip balm you can use any time a day. 

It hardly takes 15 minutes to do all these steps. You can manage 15 minutes for your skin. You shouldn't be lazy about doing  it. 

WEEKLY SKINCARE 

Now comes weekly skin care routine. You should also pamper your skin on weekly basis. 

You should use scrub and facial mask once in a week. You can use both on same day ,alternate day or in alternate week.

So, in weekly skincare there are two necessary steps:

1. Scrub 

You have to a scrub your face once in a week or twice a week depending on your need. Scrub helps to remove dead skin cells. It also exfoliate your skin. And to some extent remove black heads and white heads. One reason of acne on our face is white heads.

How to use: after cleaning your face apply scrub. Massage it with light hand for 5 to 10 minutes. Don't be to harsh on your skin. And then wash it off with lukewarm water. 

2. Facial masks

Other thing that we should do once in a week is to use a facial mask. It gives your skin instant glow, hydration and make your skin even toned. There are variety of mask available sheet mask, peel off and clay mask. There  is also a night mask which you are supposed to keep over night. You can choose whichever you want.

How to use: After cleaning your face apply appropriate amout evenly on your face. Keep it for 15 minute than wash it off with lukewarm water.

After mask or scrub you can go with toner and moisturizer. 

That's it for skincare. 

One thing I want to mention here is that choose products in each category according to your skin needs. First you need to analyse the type of your skin then select product according to that.
