The basics
A great skincare routine does not need to be complicated. Start with three non-negotiables: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum, and a moisturizer that feels like you. Add an SPF for daytime, and you are already most of the way there.
What to look for
- Cleanser — gentle, non-stripping, pH-balanced.
- Serum — look for hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and rose extract.
- Moisturizer — pick a texture that layers well under makeup and still feels nourishing at the end of the day.
Keep it consistent
The magic is not in the newest product — it is in what you do every single day. Stick with your routine for 4-6 weeks and let your skin tell you what it needs.
