Skin Care Basics

A simple, consistent routine is more effective than a complicated one for most people.

Core steps

1. Cleanse gently – Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser once or twice daily. Avoid hot water and harsh scrubbing.
2. Moisturize – Apply a moisturizer suited to your skin type while skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in hydration.
3. Protect from the sun – Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on exposed skin every morning, even on cloudy days.

Additional tips

• Choose non-comedogenic products if you are acne-prone.
• Introduce new active ingredients (retinoids, acids) slowly and one at a time.
• Patch-test new products on a small area first.
• Be patient – visible improvements often take weeks.
