The Simplest & Shortest Skincare Routine For (Almost) Anyone
… It’s easier than baking an apple pie
Skincare is fun, and the routine shouldn’t feel like rocket science. Yes, some of us, like me, love the famous Korean 10-step skincare routine and have the time (and energy) to do the basics and more, but many people prefer to keep it simple, short, and sweet.
Here’s a quick and effective skincare routine that anyone can do. Remember that you might need to see a dermatologist and specific products if you have skin issues and/or irritations.
AM Routine
Cleanser
The first step of any skincare routine should be a cleanser because you need to start with a clean face, and cleansers get rid of dirt, makeup, sweat, dead skin cells, grime, and pollutants. It preps your skin so the products you put on can do their work on a clean slate, literally.
Recommendations: Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser
Drugstore options: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
Antioxidant Serum
Aging, pollution, sun’s rays, and lifestyle habits like drinking alcohol and smoking can affect your skin, so the job of antioxidant serums is to help protect and repair some of the damage. Vitamin C and Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) are great antioxidant ingredients.
