What is a skincare routine?

A skincare routine is a series of steps that you can take to maintain and improve the condition of the skin. These steps often include cleansing, moisturizing, and lightening the skin. The routines range from washing your body to taking care of your face. However, in this post, we will focus on your facial skin. These steps often include cleansing, moisturizing, and lightening the skin.

A typical skincare routine includes the following steps:

- Exfoliating or using an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells

- Cleaning the skin with a gentle cleanser to remove remaining dirt, grime, or makeup from the skin

- Applying a moisturizer or mask to hydrate and nourish the skin

- Applying sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays

When/Why should you develop a skincare routine?

The skin is the body’s largest organ, protecting us from the outside environment. It also plays a vital role in regulating body temperature, preventing water loss, and absorbing nutrients.

Our faces get the most exposure to the environment; as such, it is essential to take extra care of your facial skin. We encourage you to develop a skincare routine when you reach puberty because this is when your skin starts to change due to hormones. This is also when some girls start wearing makeup which can lead to breakouts or clogged pores.

You can choose the basic steps to clean your face or visit a professional who will help you determine your skin’s needs and the best products for you. When you start your skincare routine while still young, you will set up your skin to thrive in your older years.

Four benefits of a skincare routine

Skincare routines are an important part of our beauty routine. There are many benefits to a skincare routine, and they include:

- Slows down the aging process

Keeping your skin well moisturized and wearing SPF daily will help your skin maintain its collagen and elasticity.

- Boosts confidence

Maintaining a proper skincare routine will help your skin look and feel good. This will, in turn, boost your confidence with or without make-up.

- Keeps skin supple and healthy

Taking care of your skin daily eventually pays off. Your skin will stay healthy and glowing if you keep a precise routine. 

- Helps to save money long-term

Skincare is an investment. If you take care of your skin while still young, you are likely to save money that could have gone into skin treatments for wrinkles, acne, or sun damage in your older years.
