All the beauty buffs, take note of the following skincare routine steps to achieve your dream of flawless face.

1. Know your skin

We must be aware that all the products we apply to our skin should be in sync with our skin type. The skin types are — normal, oily, dry and combination. Once you find out your skin type, you can choose the right set of products for your skincare routine. Skin behaves differently as per different seasons, so make sure you pay heed to your skin.

2. Clean in and out

Choosing the right Face cleanser sets the foundation for your skin routine. A good quality face cleanser is important to remove excess oil, dirt and blockages that clog our skin as we carry out our day-to-day activities. Cleansers with different ingredients treat different types of skin conditions. Incorporate cleansing morning and night to keep your skin clean and happy.

3. Exfoliate but in control

As a generic thumb rule, it is advised to exfoliate your skin gently 2–3 times a week. Excessive exfoliation can remove the natural oils from your skin and can cause aberrations on the skin. Exfoliation can be done using face scrubbers, chemical peels or hydrating masks which deeply cleanse pores and provide hydration to the skin. Masks, in particular, deliver efficient skin hydration and are rich in nourishing ingredients for the skin. Applying a toner just after exfoliation is a must to prepare your skin to absorb other skincare products.

4. Shield with Actives

Lately, different kinds of actives have become much-needed skin regenerators. Added to lifestyle stress, the environment around us is extremely adulterated and takes a toll on our skin. Skincare actives help us to replenish the skin from deep within and help in new cell regeneration. It is important to use the right actives at the right time, for instance, Vitamin C serum for face should be used in the morning to protect the skin from harsh UV rays, AHA BHA actives should be strictly used in the evenings to avoid reaction with the sun etc.

5. Orderly affair

There is a certain order that must be followed when it comes to layering skincare products and is definitely a critical part of amplifying your skin health. Skincare products differ in their texture and consistencies and if they are layered in the wrong order, their effectiveness gets lost. We should start our skin routine with a cleanser for a minute or two, followed by exfoliation (2–3 times a week only). Once you have completed exfoliation, prep up your skin with a supple toner for the face. Post toner, start with the lightest active serum which suits your skin type. Apply under-eye cream after your skin absorbs the serum as eye creams are denser than serums. Finally, complete your skincare routine with a moisturiser to lock in the hydration. People with dry skin can also add face oils to their skincare regime to add that extra hydration. Sunscreen is a must especially in the morning to protect your skin from the sun.

6. Right quantity, better effect

Applying large amounts of skincare products is definitely not beneficial, it not only leads to clogging of skin pores but also leads to the wastage of skincare products. The right quantity for each skincare product is as follows-

Cleanser — 1 Finger, Face Toner — As per the surface size of your face, Serum — 2 to 3 drops, Undereye cream/gel — Pea size, Moisturiser — 2 fingers, Face oil — 1 to 2 drops, Sunscreen — 3 fingers.
