    How To Incorporate These Skin-friendly Ingredients In Your Skincare Routine? 

    Your skincare regimen is no longer limited to cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Now your skin needs a lot more, so it’s time to revamp your beauty arsenal. Let’s see how we can incorporate skin-friendly ingredients into your skincare routine. While layering skincare products the thumb rule is to apply the product with the thinnest consistency first.

    1. Cleansing 

    Clean your skin with a gentle face wash to get rid of all the dirt and grime from your face. You can use a non-abrasive, hydrating face wash.

    2. Toning 

    Balance the pH level of your skin by using a water-based toner.

    3. Eye Cream or Gel 

    The area around your eyes is gentle and delicate, hence is more prone to wrinkles. So you need to keep it hydrated to prevent wrinkles, dark circles, and crows feet. Use a hydrating eye cream containing peptides and hyaluronic acid which keep your undereye area bright and plump.

    4. Facial Serum 

    Apply a hyaluronic acid facial serum that keeps your skin super hydrated, while eliminating signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid boosts collagen production, thus providing elasticityto your skin.

    5. Moisturizer 

    After applying serum, let it get absorbed into the skin. Now apply a moisturizer containing ceramides that boost the hydration level of the skin, and keep it well-moisturized for a longer time.

    6. SPF 

    After applying moisturizer, you must protect your skin by applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or above and complete your morning skincare routine.

    Your night skincare routine should have all the above-mentioned steps, except the application of sunscreen. Instead, you can apply natural oil after applying moisturizer to seal the moisturizer under your skin. This winter, take a pledge to never let your skin be dull and dehydrated by having a dedicated skin care routine, that maintains the skin’s apt moisture level. It will take just 10 minutes of your day, and your skin will thank you for it!
