1-Steps in a Facial Skin Care Routine: Cleansing and Toning


Cleansing is the step in any facial skincare routine. It helps in getting rid of dirt, pollutants, oil and excess grease from your skin to protect it from damage. Simply apply a cleansing lotion or cream on your face and neck. Gently massage it in using upward strokes. Use a face tissue or cotton wool to pat your face avoid rubbing). Cleansing should be done at daily – once in the morning as part of your complete facial skincare routine and once in the evening separately. Water based cleansers are recommended for inclusion, in your skincare regimen.


Toning comes next in a skincare regimen. Is considered an optional step.


Cleansing plays a role, in skincare helping to remove dirt, grease and leftover cleanser. Toning is not necessarily a requirement for your facial skincare routine; you can opt for toning especially after exposure to harsh environments or pollution.

2-Exfoliating and Moisturizing in Your Facial Skin Care Routine


Exfoliation is a step in skincare but should be done at least once a week (or more depending on your skin type and environmental factors). It aids in removing skin cells that clog pores and promotes the skins natural renewal process. However excessive exfoliation can harm the skin. It's important to find the balance.


Moisturizing is essential in skincare as it prevents dryness which can lead to skin issues, like flakiness and dead skin cells. Using strokes when applying moisturizer can enhance its effectiveness.


Moisturizers are most effective when applied to slightly moist skin. It's best not to completely dry out your skin in the earlier steps of your facial skincare routine.


In addition, to your facial skincare regimen consider incorporating the following practices;


  • Opt for a makeup remover instead of just rinsing it off.


  • Take into account your skin type and the surrounding environment when selecting skincare products for your face.


  • Before introducing a skincare product into your routine perform a patch test on a small area of skin like the earlobes.


  • Avoid rubbing of your skin.


  • Remember to use sunscreen lotions for protection, against the sun.
