Skincare Routines 23 articles
A skincare routine is simply the order you use your products in, morning and night. Most routines are built on three steps — cleanse, moisturize and, in the morning, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen — with treatments such as serums, retinoids or exfoliants added once the basics are working. The right routine depends on your skin type, your main concern and how much time you want to spend, and a short routine you follow every day usually does more than a long one you skip.…
Our routine guides start with finding your skin type, then walk through the correct product order, what belongs in a morning versus a night routine, and how to adjust for seasons. You will also find full routines for beginners, combination skin and minimalists, plus realistic timelines for how long each type of product takes to show results.
