Three Main Skincare Routine Steps
To get the most benefit out of a daily skincare regimen, no matter what your skin type, you should start with three simple steps:
Cleanse
Treat
Moisturize
You probably already know that cleansing means washing your face and moisturizing means hydrating your skin, but what does "treating" involve? Well, in addition to keeping your complexion in tip-top shape, the goal of any good skincare routine is to target problem areas. So, treating means incorporating serums or creams packed full of beneficial skincare ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, alpha hydroxy acids and others, depending on your skin type and the results you want to see, adding a middle step in between the cleansing and moisturizing components is really important, It can make a huge difference over time and in the health, appearance and aging of your skin."
Stick With It
Good things come to those who wait — and that includes skincare routines. Even the best skincare products take time to work, so don't expect results overnight. If you stick to a consistent, daily routine, you can likely expect to see some benefits within six to 12 weeks — and it can often take at least three to four months to know if your new routine is really working.
