The beauty aisles of the skincare store are filled with an overwhelming set of ‘must-haves’, and finding the perfect skincare routine can get confusing. These over the top claims and products with ingredients hard to pronounce, skincare shopping is harder than ever.
Regardless, caring for your skin and following a skincare routine is extremely important due to its heaping benefits. Having great skin is beyond DNA and your everyday habits do contribute to how your skin feels. With a dizzying amount of skincare tips and trending products creating hype, it is important to know skincare is simply personal and what may be a holy grail to some may not work the best for you. But if you are committing to create a skincare routine for yourself, there are a few simple things you can do with a simple face care routine.
The four main step of a face care routine
Most days, you may feel tired of going through all 11- steps of your skincare routine, which is why it is important to stick to a simple, fuss- free routine you can follow without being overwhelming.
- Cleansing– to wash your face off any dirt and grime
- Toning– to balance the pH level of your skin
- Exfoliating– to get rid of the dead skin cells on the skin
- Moisturising– to infuse hydration into your skin
The goal of any skin care is to not seek perfection but to find a balance of the products that works well to strengthen your skin from within. Even though skincare products do evolve with time when it comes to its effectiveness, there is no instant fix to have a perfect skin which is why you need to give it time to work well.
Let’s get into the steps of a simple skincare routine.
- Cleansing:
This comes without saying, cleansing is the most important step of getting the base of your skincare right. Our skin comes in contact with so much during the day from the sun to the pollution and they should be washed off gently with a nourishing cleanser. Wash your face twice a day, in the AM and PM to avoid any clogging of pores resulting in acne.
- Toning:
Apply a toner right after you have cleansed your face. A toner works as a pH balancer and gives your skin an extra dose of nourishment for the rest of your skincare products to absorb and work better.
- Exfoliation:
Though not an everyday skincare step, exfoliating your skin twice a week is the best way to get rid of dead skin cell buildup. Use a natural face scrub to prevent dullness on your skin.
- Moisturisation:
Moisturisers help replenish and add in the moisture into your skin which is lost during the cleansing and scrubbing process. Moisturisers also prevent water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Since our skin loses the ability to retain moisture as it ages, a moisturiser helps you rehydrate the skin.
If you are looking for an all natural skincare routine, we recommend using the Coco Soul face care combo consisting of face wash and face scrub infused with gotu kola, neem and many benefits of coconut oil on face .
This face care combo is perfect for daily use as it is filled with the goodness of Ayurveda which isn’t harsh on your skin.
