Start with a clean and moisturized face

Before applying any makeup, make sure to cleanse your face thoroughly and apply a good moisturizer suited for your skin type. This creates a smooth canvas for your makeup application.


Start with a clean and moisturized face

Starting with a clean and moisturized face is an essential step in any skincare routine. It helps prepare your skin for further treatments and ensures that your skin is in its best condition. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to start with a clean and moisturized face:

  1. Wash your hands:

  2. Before touching your face, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent the transfer of dirt and bacteria.

  3. Remove makeup (if applicable):

  4. If you are wearing makeup, use a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to cleanse your skin and remove all traces of makeup.

  5. Cleansing:

  6. Choose a facial cleanser that suits your skin type (e.g., gel, foam, cream) and gently cleanse your face using lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it can strip your skin of its natural oils.

  7. Pat dry:

  8. After cleansing, pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing your face, as this can cause irritation and damage to your skin.

  9. Toning (optional):

  10. If you use a toner in your skincare routine, apply it now. Toners help balance the pH levels of your skin and prepare it for better absorption of subsequent products.

  11. Apply a moisturizer:

  12. Choose a suitable facial moisturizer based on your skin type (e.g., oily, dry, combination). Apply the moisturizer all over your face and neck, using gentle upward motions. Allow it to absorb fully into the skin before moving on to the next step.

  13. Eye cream (optional):

  14. If you have an eye cream, gently apply it around the eye area using your ring finger. Be careful not to tug or pull on the delicate skin around the eyes.

  15. Sunscreen (morning routine):

  16. In the morning, finish off with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays and preventing premature aging.

Remember, consistency is key in skincare. Make it a habit to follow this routine both in the morning and evening for healthy, radiant-looking skin. Additionally, if you have specific skin concerns or conditions, it's always a good idea to consult with a dermatologist to tailor a skincare routine that best suits your needs.
