After all, there’s not just one skincare routine that’s right for everybody’s skin because everybody’s skin is different, be it dry, combination, normal, sensitive or oily.
Ideally, though, we should all be in the habit of taking care of our skin with a good skin care routine.

What is the best skin care routine?
Every skincare routine differs depending on your skin type and lifestyle, but there are a few important tips that everyone can take on board.
Cleanse
Every morning and evening, begin by washing your face with warm water.
You’ll need a cleanser that’s been designed for your skin type, and when you’re cleansing you should use upward strokes and massage your skin.
This should help stop any wrinkles forming.
When it comes to washing it off, make sure you use a fresh, warm flannel or muslin cloth and you don’t miss any areas of your face.
Tone
Then use a damp cotton wool pad to apply alcohol-free toner to your face.
Moisturise
Take time to massage in a moisturiser and never, ever, go to sleep while still wearing your makeup.
If you can, avoid facial wipes as they can irritate your skin.
Summary
- We should all have a good skincare routine, regardless of our age
- The best skin care routines can keep skin in good condition
- They can also help skin stay looking younger for longer and boost self-confidence
What is a simple skincare routine?
If it sounds as though you might be doing too much to your skin, don’t worry! It’s easy to strip back your routine and get back to basics.
1
Use a gentle cleanser
Use twice a day - morning and night.
2
Apply a light moisturiser
Moisturisers shouldn’t make your skin oily because they are designed to help the skin retain water rather than adding oil.
3
Exfoliate once a week
Exfoliate to avoid pores from getting blocked and encourage cell renewal (optional step).
Takeaway
We only have the skin we’re born with, so it’s really important we take care of it throughout our entire lives.
Some people’s skincare routines are longer than others, and the products they use can all differ too.
But the main thing is that you understand your skin, what it needs, what it doesn’t need and that you take the time, morning and night, to give it the TLC it deserves.
