New Delhi:In today’s era, the direct effect of dust, pollution and stress is visible on our skin. In such a situation, if you also want to start skin care, then first of all understand that it does not require expensive products, but a proper and regular routine.
Skin care is not a complicated process. It is important to understand your skin type and adopt basic steps accordingly. A normal skin care routine is divided into two parts – morning (AM) and night (PM). Let us know what should be the right day and night skin care routine for beginners.
Morning routine is very important to keep the skin hydrated and protect it from the harmful rays of the sun.
After waking up in the morning, first of all clean your face with a light face wash. This removes excess oil and sweat accumulated overnight and makes the skin feel fresh.
It is important to moisturize the skin after washing the face. Apply light moisturizer according to your skin type – oily, dry or combination. It maintains moisture in the skin and makes it soft.
This is the most important step. Whether you are at home or outside, don’t forget to apply sunscreen. It protects the skin from premature aging, wrinkles and tanning. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Night time is for skin repair and recovery. Therefore, night routine should not be ignored.
If you have applied makeup or sunscreen during the day, it is important to remove it thoroughly. First clean the face with cleansing milk or oil, then clean again with face wash.
People with oily skin can use toner. It balances the pH level of the skin and helps in keeping the pores clean.
If there is a problem like dark circles or acne, then apply the respective treatment product or eye cream at night.
At night the skin needs deep moisture and nourishment. Choose a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid or ceramides so the skin can repair itself overnight.
Before applying any new product directly on the face, test it on your hands for 24 hours so that any kind of allergy or irritation can be detected.
It takes at least 4 to 6 weeks to see the effect of skin care. So do not expect immediate results.
Along with external care, it is also important to keep the body hydrated from within. Drink adequate amount of water throughout the day.
Do not buy products without knowing your skin type. If your skin is more sensitive, then definitely take advice from an expert.
