A Simple Skincare Routine That Works
Starting a skincare routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With just a few carefully chosen products, you can dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and hydration. The key is consistency and understanding what your skin truly needs.
🧴 Beginner-Friendly Routine:
- Cleanse: Use a gentle gel or cream cleanser from Clinique, REN, or Erborian.
- Tone: Apply a balancing or exfoliating toner (try Pixi Glow Tonic or Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner).
- Serum: Target concerns like dullness or uneven tone with Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair or Missha Time Revolution.
- Moisturise: Hydrate with Nuxe Crème Fraîche, Charlotte’s Magic Cream, or Skin Chemists formulas.
- SPF: Daily sun protection is a must — brands like ISDIN, Elizabeth Arden, or Bondi Sands offer reliable options.
🌿 Keep it simple to start. Then, add extras like eye cream, exfoliators, or masks once you understand your skin’s rhythm.
