Having flawless skin is everyone’s dream. However, achieving that goal is not a one-day remedy. Hence, you can try following certain face care steps to complete your skincare routine.
With so many skincare products available out there, it may be difficult to understand when and how to apply each of them for the best results.
In order to make sure you have an effective skincare routine, we will take you to explore some face-care steps that you can do on a daily basis.
Without any further ado, let’s check out the information about face care steps below!
Skin Care Routine for Women
Now, there’s no need to worry about how to take care of your skin properly. Here’s a complete guide to the 8 skincare routines you can easily follow:
1. Wash Your Face
To rinse away sweat and dirt on your face, make sure to wash your face with a gentle cleanser every morning and night.
You can slowly massage the face wash all over your face, then rinse it until all of the cleanser is removed.
However, if you wear makeup, you should remove your makeup with cleansing oil or micellar water prior to washing your face. Once you’re done, you can dry your face with a soft towel.
2. Apply Toner
One of the face care steps you should take into account is applying toner. Toners are designed to add extra hydration to your skin and remove the dead skin cells left behind after cleansing.
You can tap it directly to your face or pour a few drops of toner into a cotton pad then swipe it gently on your face. Avoid using toners with high-level alcohol, since it can possibly irritate your skin.

3. Apply Serum
Next, you can apply a serum that contains antioxidants like a vitamin C serum. Serum can protect your skin from the damage caused by free radicals.
To add to that, serums with antioxidants will also help reduce wrinkles and redness on your face.
To use it, you can pat a few drops of the serum on your face and neck. Make sure to test the serum in a small face area to see how it reacts to your skin. Note that some serums also contain acids that could possibly cause irritation.
4. Use Eye Cream
The skin around your eyes tends to be more sensitive and prone to aging signs, such as fine lines and dark circles.
To take proper care of the eye, you can apply eye cream using a metal roller-ball applicator or simply use your ring finger.
You can apply the eye cream in the morning and at night. Be careful not to get the cream into your eyes to avoid irritation.
5. Use Spot Treatment
If you experience acne problems, it is recommended to include acne spot treatments in your face care steps, especially at night. Using spot treatment will help you address blemishes, scars, or uneven skin tone.
This step needs to be done prior to applying moisturizer to allow it to fully penetrate into the skin.
Why? Moisturizers’ texture is heavier, so it can possibly block your acne treatment products from doing their job.

6. Moisturize Your Skin
Now, it’s the time for your moisturizer to shine! Moisturizer can keep your skin hydrated. It also has a thicker consistency that helps lock all of the products you’ve applied in your pores, enhancing their effectiveness.
Ideally, you can opt for a lotion moisturizer that contains SPF 30 or higher in the morning. If you have dry skin, it is recommended to use it twice, in the morning and at night.
7. Use Retinoid
Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives (including retinol) that can help reduce breakouts, dark spots, and fine lines by supporting skin-cell turnover.
However, note that they can also cause irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive.
It is highly recommended to consult with your dermatologist or aesthetician before adding this to your skincare routine.
As retinoids also make your skin extra sensitive to the sun, don’t miss out on the last step, the sunscreen.
8. Apply Sunscreen
Last but not the least, apply sunscreen! Sunscreen is not meant to penetrate the skin, so it should come last on your face care steps. With sunscreen on, your skin will have a layer that protects your skin against free radicals.
Pick a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from the UVA and UVB light. Spread it over your face and make sure that you apply it around 15 to 30 minutes before doing outdoor activities.
Those are a quick guide to your everyday face care steps. As for the products you choose to apply, make sure that you also consult with your dermatologist to discuss and see if it suits your skin type.
