Skin care Dos and Donts
To get the most out of your skincare routine, it’s essential to use products correctly and consistently. Here are some dos and don’ts to guide you:
DO cleanse—always.
Even if you’re not double cleansing, a good cleanse in the morning and evening is a must. It removes makeup, dry skin, and impurities, giving your skin a clean slate to absorb the rest of your products. Bonus tip: Use a cloth to remove your cleanser—it works wonders!
Current favorite: Elemis Take the Day Off—a total game-changer!
DON’T skip the toner. Ever.
I used to stick to a super basic routine: cleanse, serum, moisturize. But since adding a toner, my skin has transformed—especially during winter when my skin is extra dry. Look for a toner with exfoliating properties to gently refresh your skin.
Favorite pick: Medi K8’s exfoliating toner—it’s a lifesaver!
DO wear SPF every single day.
Yes, even in winter! The sun is one of the biggest contributors to aging, so protect your skin daily with SPF. Bonus: Some SPFs double as a primer, making them perfect under makeup.
My go-to: A dual-purpose SPF that keeps my skin glowing and my makeup flawless.
DON’T layer products too quickly.
Let each product fully absorb before applying the next. Rushing can prevent the lighter layers from sinking in properly, reducing their effectiveness. Think of it as giving your skin time to breathe between steps!
DO keep it simple.
Skincare can feel overwhelming, but simplicity is key. A basic routine of cleanse, tone, moisturize, and SPF is far better than doing nothing. You’ll start seeing results with just a few steps!
Pro tip: Use these FACE halo pads to speed up and enhance your cleansing routine.
DON’T use products with alcohol.
Some skincare products include alcohol, which can dry out your skin. While they might seem like a quick fix for oily skin, they can strip the protective layer, causing more harm in the long run. Always check your ingredients list!
