Skin care tip you should know
You might be the kind of person that doesn’t have a strict skincare routine, as on some days you prefer just to take off your make-up and let it be, and on others you decide to apply a face mask or some gentle moisturizer, depending on how you feel. If you’re looking to add a little structure and create a basic skincare routine, I listed below some steps and tips on what you should do. It can be a bit difficult as the internet is bombarding us with different kinds of skincare products, and without knowing what you truly need, you risk of spending great amounts of money on products that don’t do anything for your type of skin. Remember, before adding anything you need to be sure you have a great foundation for your routine, otherwise anything you use might not turn out so effective.
- ALWAYS TAKE YOUR MAKE-UP OFF, DOUBLE CLEANSE

This is the first and most vital step you need to take. Even if you just got home and feel extremely tired and you’re thinking to yourself “Sleeping with make-up on won’t do any harm”, don’t. Make the extra effort and be sure to remove all the make-up, using the double-cleanse method. This method is a must in the famous 10-step Korean skincare routine, as it is said you should use a stronger, oil-based cleanser for you lips and eyes and after, a water-based cleanser for the rest of your face and for removing any impurities that might still be there.
- WEAR SUNSCREEN, EVEN IN WINTER

People tend to minimize and even completely ignore the use of sunscreen when it comes to adding it to their routines, as they think it’s only useful for extremely sunny days and going to the beach. Truth be told, sunscreen needs to be worn everyday, no matter if it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy or fall/winter. UV rays are still present no matter the weather or the season, and they are a factor that do your skin a great deal of damage. Besides helping your skin look youthful and fresh for a much longer time, sunscreen creates a barrier that protects it from various outside dirt, so overall there is no reason why you shouldn’t wear it everyday. If you don’t feel like investing in a whole new bottle of sunscreen, search for a moisturizer that has SPF, you are bound to find one that works for you.
