 Social media has made skincare very complicated. Relax, it’s not rocket science. There is no need to complicate your skincare routine. It is very easy to create a routine that is effective and can give you 90% of the benefits you can get from skincare. You don’t need expensive products or a 7-step process to get glass skin, but rather just some basic knowledge about what works and what doesn’t.

So if you want clear and glowing skin, pay attention to this article because I can assure you that after reading it, you won’t be confused, and you won’t need any other article on this topic.

Let’s begin!

AM & PM Routine

First thing to know is that you need a separate skincare routine for day and night. During the day, the sun damages your skin, and that damage is later treated at night during your sleep. Hence, we will prepare our skincare routine based on this fact.

To protect your skin from sun damage, we will use sunscreen, and to repair your skin at night, we will use a good moisturizer or night cream. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30+, and for the moisturizer, go for an oil-free and non-comedogenic option. The same applies to night creams. Also, when choosing a night cream, look for the ingredient “Retinol.”

Preparing Your Skin

Before applying anything to your skin (sunscreen or moisturizer), you first need to prepare it by cleansing, as your skin may contain oil, dirt, bacteria, or makeup. To cleanse your skin, you need a gentle cleanser or face wash.

Don’t go for a harsh face wash that claims to brighten your face in one wash, as it can damage and dry out your skin. Look for a gentle cleanser that contains non-irritating ingredients.

Final Procedure

Now that you have everything you need, just follow the instructions below.

Morning: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser or face wash. Then, pat your face dry with a clean towel and apply sunscreen. If your skin is really dry, you can use a moisturizer before applying sunscreen. Use a coin-sized amount of an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer, let it air dry for 5 minutes, and then apply the sunscreen, about two finger lengths worth.

Night: For the night routine, start again with your cleanser, wash your face, pat dry with a clean towel, and finally apply your moisturizer or night cream. Wait for 10–30 minutes before going to bed to give your skin time to absorb the product.

And… Done!

That’s it. This is a very simple, affordable, and effective skincare routine that will give you 90% of the skincare benefits. Of course, adding more products and steps could make a difference, but to begin with, start with the basics.
