Nowadays with extremely busy lives and pretty much jam-packed schedules, no one has the time for self-pampering or follow extensive skincare routines. People hardly have time to sleep for a good eight hours given that they have so much to do in a day.

However, making a to-do list and adding a quick skincare session daily, is equally important. Here are some tips for the best skincare routine you can follow every day without having to worry about spending hours on it.

Wash your face with a face-wash: Washing your face with a good quality face-wash at least twice a day, in the morning and at night is mandatory. Look up on the internet and based on best customer reviews, pick one face wash and use it for this purpose instead of soap. Soap damages the outer protective layer of the skin by messing with the pH levels.

Use a facial cleanser: Always reach for a facial cleanser to use as a part of your skincare routine, it is recommended for both morning and night time. However, since most of us are in a hurry to get to work in the mornings or have other important tasks to take care of at the start of the day, it’s not always possible to apply cleanser before going to work. Make sure to use it at night to remove your make-up and dirt. The cleanser helps to remove all the excess dirt and oil that’s been accumulated on your skin throughout the day.

Use a toner: After cleansing your skin, apply a toner. It helps cleaning the dirt, oils, and impurities more significantly. It not only refreshes your skin but also adds a layer of protection by minimizing the penetration of contaminants into your skin. It shrinks your pores and regulates cell gaps after using a cleanser.

Use a moisturizer: Moisturize your skin twice or thrice a day, or for better results, after every encounter with water. It keeps your skin smooth and hydrated. Even if you have oily skin, pick a moisturizer that would suit your skin type; some people have acne prone skin, so they must be extra careful in choosing a fine oil-based moisturizer. Even though your body has its own natural tendency of lubricating; glands secrete oil or sebum to provide protection against harsh weather conditions and in worst case scenarios, infections. Many of us need extra hydration and moisture level after the damage that sun, weather, and harsh chemicals inflict on our skin.

Apply sunscreen: To keep your skin protected from damaging UV rays and certain other radiations, sunscreen must be an integral part of your daily skincare routine. Apply it thoroughly on your face and neck before even applying make-up. It doesn’t matter if you are going to work and your routine doesn’t include much exposure to the sun, nonetheless, you should use a fine sunblock for long-lasting, healthy-looking skin.

So, there you have it. These are the basics of the skincare products and, one must adhere to regularity because only then you’ll see the results. Also, every individual has a different and unique skin type so don’t forget to take your doctor’s recommendation before applying new products.
