Step 1: Know Your Skin Type

Understanding your skin is the foundation of a successful routine.

• Dry Skin: Feels tight or flaky, and often needs extra hydration.

• Oily Skin: Prone to shine and clogged pores, needs lightweight products.

• Combination Skin: Balances oiliness in some areas (T-zone) and dryness in others.

• Sensitive Skin: Reacts easily to products, and requires gentle formulations.

• Normal Skin: Generally balanced, with minimal issues.

Step 2: Build Your Basic Skincare Routine

A great skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with these essentials:

Morning Routine: Start Your Day with Glow

1. Cleanser:
   Gently cleanse away overnight impurities with a hydrating or foaming cleanser based on your skin type.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Gentle Hydrating Cleanser.

2. Toner (Optional):
   A refreshing toner preps your skin for hydration and balances its pH.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Revitalizing Toner.

3. Serum:
   Power up your routine with an antioxidant serum like Vitamin C to brighten and protect against pollution.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Vitamin C Glow Serum.

4. Moisturizer:
   Keep your skin hydrated and plump. Opt for oil-free if you’re oily or a richer cream if you’re dry.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Lightweight Oil-Free Moisturizer.

5. Sunscreen:
   The ultimate skincare hero! Use SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Ultra-Light Sunscreen SPF 50.

Night Routine: Wind Down and Repair

1. Cleanser:
   Double-cleanse if you wear makeup or sunscreen—an oil-based cleanser followed by a gentle one.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Deep Clean Oil-Based Cleanser.

2. Exfoliant (2–3 Times a Week):
   Slough off dead skin with a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) for a smooth, glowing complexion.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s AHA/BHA Resurfacing Solution.

3. Treatment:
   Address specific concerns with targeted treatments like retinol, niacinamide, or acne solutions.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Retinol Repair Night Serum.

4. Moisturizer:
   Lock in moisture and support your skin’s overnight repair process.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Overnight Repair Cream.

5. Eye Cream (Optional):
   Dab on a soothing eye cream to reduce puffiness and fine lines.

   • Recommended: Skinly’s Soothing Eye Cream.

Step 3: Customize for Your Skin Goals

Your skincare routine is as unique as you are. Here’s how to personalize it:

• Acne-Prone Skin: Incorporate salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

  • Recommended: Skinly’s Acne Solution Gel.

• Aging Concerns: Add retinol or peptides for fine lines and firmness.

  • Recommended: Skinly’s Peptide Boost Serum.

• Hyperpigmentation: Use brighteners like niacinamide or Vitamin C.

  • Recommended: Skinly’s Brightening Spot Corrector.

Step 4: Tips for Skincare Success

• Patch Test New Products: Avoid adverse reactions by testing on a small area first.

• Be Consistent: Results take time—stick with your routine for at least 4–6 weeks.

• Hydrate Inside Out: Drink plenty of water and eat a skin-friendly diet rich in antioxidants.
