"The Ultimate Skincare Guide: 7 Steps to Glowing, Hydrated Skin"

Trust me when I say skincare is a game-changer in your beauty regime. Once you start developing a proper skincare routine, you start preferring it over makeup, because of how better it makes your skin look. Or possibly, it could also push you towards being makeup-free on some days!

A perfect skincare routine is what you achieve after a lot of trial and error. However, there are some basic rules of thumb, which should apply to everyone's skincare routine, regardless of their skin type.

In this article, we will introduce you to a step-by-step skincare guide, along with recommending some of our favorite products that are known to make a difference in no time! So let us get started:

1. Cleanser

The first step of your perfect skincare routine is to choose a cleanser that is well-suited for your skin type. For dry skin, oil based cleansers are a better option while for oily skin, water based cleansers are recommended.

Some of our recommended cleansers include Foaming Facial Cleanser with Willow Bark and Licorice, Microdermabrasion Cleanser, and Deep Pore Clarifying Cleanser.

2. Toner

Toner is essentially important when it comes to setting the ph of your skin. It takes away any dirt and debris left by the cleanser and also gives you a slight kick of moisturization while providing you with that smooth, airbrushed effect.

Our recommendations for toners include Pomegranate Green Tea Toner, Aloe Toner, and Cucumber Toner.

3. Serum

Once the toner is applied, it is time to go ahead with the serum. The serum penetrates deep into your skin, ensuring long-lasting effects, and gives you a plain canvas sort of skin where you can apply other skin care products.

You should definitely check out the much-hyped Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Resveratrol and the Anti-Shine Serum.

4. Masque

Masque is an important step when it comes to skincare. However, you should be aware of two things while dealing with a masque. First, they should be strictly according to your skin type. Secondly, they should never be a part of your daily skincare regime. Using them once or twice a week is enough.

Our favorite masques include Acne Control Sulfur Masque and Hydra Boost Moisture Masque.

5. Moisturizer

Moisturizer is one product that gives life to your skin. It hydrates your skin like nothing else, leaving it soft, subtle, plump, and glowing.

Our top recommended moisturizers include Aloe Moisturizer with CBD and Collagen, Calming Night-Time Moisturizer, Action C Moisturizer, and Oil-Free Moisturizer with Gin.

6. Face Oil

Once you are done with the moisturizer, a layer of face oil on top of it gives an extra boost of hydration, along with locking all other skincare products in their place, as almost nothing can penetrate a face oil.

The Miracle Beauty Oil is highly recommended since it is a mixture of Argan Oil, Marula Oil, and Black Currant Seed Oil. Thus it includes all the goody goodness that your skin needs!

7. Sunscreen

Perhaps the most important step of your skincare routine should be sunscreen. It forms a much-needed barrier between your skin and the harmful UV rays from the sun, thus protecting your skin from any sun damage and burns.

All of these steps are crucial when it comes to taking care of your skin the right way. In the long run, you will see an improvement in your skin texture and issues by following this routine religiously.
