The fourth step in our quick skincare routine is applying targeted treatments specific to your skin type. Anyone with specific skin concerns or conditions could benefit from targeted treatments.
These may include spot treatments for acne and/or dark spots, under-eye creams to address puffiness and dark circles, and/or any topical medications to help with any skin condition a student might have.
As always, use these products according to your skin’s needs and instructions for each product, including how often these products should be applied.
The fifth step in this routine is applying sunscreen. Although we already have moisturizer with SPF in our routine, it is still important to apply sunscreen at this point in your routine once daily in the morning as an extra safeguard for your skin.
Sunscreen and its properties that protect us from the sun’s harmful UV rays can reduce risks of early skin aging and skin cancer from overexposure to the sun.
Always opt for sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for the best protection, and apply a generous amount on all exposed areas each morning.
The sixth step on our list today is taking any makeup or cosmetic products off your skin before going to bed every night. Sleeping with makeup on will cause your pores to clog, leading to breakouts and irritation.
To prevent this, you must take a gentle makeup remover wipe or some micellar water and thoroughly cleanse your face before going to bed. Going beyond steps requiring the topical application of a product, our seventh step today is to hydrate your skin from within.
