· CLEANSING

Cleansing is the first step in the skincare routine. It should be done twice, first in the morning before wearing makeup and second, before going to bed after removing the makeup. It clears the dead skin and avoids clogged pores by cleaning up all the excess oils and dirt. It is necessary to have clean skin before wearing your makeup so that it glides perfectly on your face. But don't rub it in very deep because it will wash off the natural oils which are needed for the skin.

· EXFOLIATION

Exfoliation can be done either regularly or twice a week depending on the product you use. Exfoliation helps to remove the dead skin cells from the deeper surface and also cleans your pores deep. It should be used very gently and, in a circular motion. Never rub the scrubs or exfoliators harshly on your skin; always use lighter hands when working with them.

· TONER

Toning is the next step just after cleansing your skin. What toner does is it removes any last traces of dirt on your skin and not only that but also helps to even your skin tone and help to tighten your pores. It can be applied using your palm or with cotton pads just a few drops.

· SERUM

Serums are filled with concentrated active nutrients and other ingredients that penetrate deep inside your skin as serums are lightweight moisturizers. But never mix your moisturizers with the serums. Morning serums are the ones that consist of Vitamin C as it helps in brightening and lightening the dark spots on your skin over time. It is a little strong so, if you have sensitive skin avoid using it daily and use it on alternate days. Night serums consist of hyaluronic acid that helps to seal in the hydration and prevents losing the moisture of your skin and plumps it up too.

· MOISTURIZERS

Moisturizers are the last and the final step. They are super important in your routine no matter what your skin type is you need to use the moisturizers, even you have oily skin don't skip the moisturizers because it is a barrier which helps to trap all the needful ingredients required by the skin to stay and to penetrate it inside your skin seals all the goodness. So, using a moisturizer is very important and should never miss that out.

NOTE: Please use all the products suitable for your skin type and, if using it for the first time please try it on a small skin patch.
