Your Ideal skincare routine starts with cleansing of your skin. What is the purpose of cleansing? To remove impurities, excess oils, dirt from your skin. Firstly, you would want to look out for organic skin products with the natural pH of your skin.

Most of all, you don’t need a complex skincare routine. A simple but effective ones works great!

Look out for Ingredients such as Aloe vera, neem and oils like tea tree are anti-bactericidal and have great cleansing properties. This will work great on acne-prone skin. Ingredients with honey, glycerin, lavender essential oils or chamomile also works great with sensitive skin because it doesn’t irritate or strip out skin’s natural oil. In general, skin cleansing should be done twice a day. In the morning and in the night before bedtime. 

Tone

Toner

An Ideal skincare routine includes toning of the skin. Toners serve as re-balancing the skin’s pH after your cleansing with an alkaline cleanser. The toners we use serve more to refine our pores, soften our skin, and balance sebum production depending on each and every skin type. Look out for toners rich in Neroli oil, witch hazel and aloe vera mist if your skin is dry. You can also substitute for calming  rose water toner. 

If you have an oily skin, Look out for mild toners with rosemary which is anti-bactericidal and also helps to balance the natural sebum of the skin.

Hydrate

Is dry skin and dehydrated skin the same? No. Our skin needs proper hydration , that is increasing the amount of water in our skin cells, which in turns gives us a radiant and youthful complexion. Well hydrated skin keeps wrinkles and fine lines at bay. Keep your skin well hydrated by drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water everyday, make a combination of fresh aloe vera gel free from preservative, rose water and a lightweight botanical oil. A great way to layer the products is to apply water based first as they easily penetrate the skin and then seal in moisture with an oil.

Moisturize

Moisturizer

Because of differences in skin types, some people will need more moisturizer than others. No matter your skin type and the skincare routine you want to build, moisturizer plays a good role in it. If you have dry skin, no doubt you’ll need to moisturize more. If your skin is oily, you might favor serum and use moisturizer as needed. Look out for oils specifically for your skin type. Some oils appear to be heavier than others.
