Back to the Basics: 4 Essential Skincare Steps

ByAndalou Naturals

While we all know the importance of sticking to a skincare routine, sometimes it’s tricky to know what precisely that routine should look like. Should you simply wash your face and go to bed? Should you really be following that 10-step skincare regimen your favorite influencer swears by?

Everyone’s skin is different, so skincare routines are not one-size-fits-all endeavors. That said, there are a few essential steps that can help you achieve a glowing, radiant complexion. As for choosing products, opting for science-backed products with natural ingredients is a good rule of thumb. Here are four simple steps your skincare routine should include.

Step One: Cleanse

This is the simplest, most foundational step in any skincare routine. Even on nights when you’re feeling extra sleepy or unmotivated, simply washing your face can make a huge difference in the overall appearance and health of your skin.

Cleansing your skin daily is essential for removing any dirt, sweat, or makeup. Plus, going to bed with clean skin can help you avoid clogged pores and even prevent signs of premature aging. To take your skincare routine to the next level, use a cleanser catered to your unique skin type to help balance your oil production and microbiome.

Step Two: Exfoliate

If you struggle with dullness, breakouts, or uneven skin tone, make sure your routine includes this important step. Removing dead skin cells and build-up can help your skin absorb products and prevent clogged pores and dullness.

Clear skin products, such as an exfoliating mask infused with kombucha enzymes or a lemon sugar facial scrub, can help you brush away buildup with ease. However, some exfoliants, especially chemical or enzymatic ones, may be too harsh to use every day, so make sure to follow the instructions on your product.

Step Three: Nourish

This step is where your skin’s unique needs come into play, which means you can do a little research and have a lot of fun! Taking an online quiz from a trusted skincare brand or reading blog content from your favorite natural beauty company can help you determine your skin type to figure out what products to use to achieve your skin goals.

If you’re striving for a brighter complexion, you may want to apply a turmeric serum during this step to lighten dark spots and promote an even skin tone, whereas those who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles might opt for a plant-based retinol alternative serum.

Step Four: Hydrate

Last but not least, remember that hydrated skin is happy skin! Once your serums have had time to settle in, wrap up your skincare routine with a skin-pampering moisturizer. Remember, your skin is your largest organ, so be sure to hydrate more than just your face with body butters that blend shea and cocoa butters to nourish and condition dry skin.

At the end of the day, your skincare routine is self-care. Whether you choose to develop a routine with steps in the double digits or maintain a bare-bones routine, be sure to include these four steps to reveal your best complexion yet.
