Oil-Based Cleanser: These types of cleanser helps to dissolve oils produced by the skin. An oil-based cleanser should include surfactants and emulsifiers to remove oil and dirt from your skin thoroughly. Buy the I Dew Care Oil Cleanser
Water-Based Cleanser: These cleansers contain surfactants, which allow water to rinse away dirt. Shop Neutrogena HydroBoost Hydrating Gel Cleanser or Shiseido Refreshing Cleansing Water. Buy the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser
Facial Toner: Facial toners are designed to replenish the skin through hydration. They also work to remove excess dead skin cells and dirt from the skin after cleansing. They help to re-balance the skin’s pH. Buy the Etude Wonder Pore Toner
Antioxidant Serum: These types of serums contain antioxidants to treat the skin from free radicals, and protect the skin from environmental pollution, smog, smoke, and unstable molecules produced in your body or found in the atmosphere. Free radicals cause the skin to age prematurely because they damage the skin cells. When you add an antioxidant serum to your skincare routine, you protect your skin from these harmful properties. Look for serums they formulate with vitamin c, vitamin e, green tea, resveratrol, ferulic acid, and caffeine. Buy the Pearlessence hyaluronic acid + vitamin b antiaging serum
Treatment Serum: Treatment serums are designed to treat particular skin issues you may have. Most brands formulate treatment serums to fight fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scars, dull skin, hyperpigmentation, oily skin, dry skin, uneven skin texture, large pores, melasma, eczema, plus many more skin issues. These types of serum are formulated with concentrated ingredients so that they will be able to work to treat the skin’s problems. Buy the Dr. Zenovia hyaluronic acid + peptide serum
Eye Cream: The skin around your eye tends to be thinner and more sensitive. It is also prone to wrinkles, fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. A good eye cream will brighten, smooth, and firm up the eye area. Buy the Pearlessence antiaging eye serum retinol + collagen
Facial Moisturizer: Moisturizers give water and oil to the skin; this is called hydration (water) and moisturization (oil). Look for facial moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid to help pull water to your skin to keep your skin supple and plump. And, also look for ceramides to treat and protect your skin barrier to give you healthy skin. Buy the Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Collagen Moisturizer
Sunscreen: Sunscreens help protect the skin from harmful sun rays, the UVA and UVB sun rays. Zinc sunscreens protect the skin by blocking the sun rays from penetrating the skin. Daily use of sunscreen will help keep the skin healthy, prevent acne scars, sun damage, premature aging, and cancer. Buy the Soleil Toujours 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
Night Cream or Sleep Mask: These are optional. They work by repairing your skin while you sleep. They seal in all your other products, and they contain hydrating ingredients to nourish your skin overnight. Buy the Peach and Lily Overnight Star Sleeping Mask Day and Night Moisture Must-Haves Kit
These steps will ensure that your skincare routine is thorough and you are treating your skin to be healthy and prevent premature aging.
