Skincare in  7 Steps

When it comes to skincare, most people have 2 steps- face wash and moisturizer. But did you know that there are 7 steps that you should be practicing?

Step 1: Cleanse

Using a gentle face wash, apply a small amount, use fingertips to go in a circular motion, rinse and pat dry. I prefer to use colder water than warm.

Step 2: Toner

Don’t skip this step. It can take time to find the right one but this step is essential as it’s balancing your skin, adding vitamins, and more.

Step 3: Serum

There are many different kinds. You just have to find what your skin needs. One of my favorites for nighttime skincare has to be Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum.

Step 4: Eye Cream

Invest in a good eye cream and use twice daily- morning and night. This will prevent sagging, fine lines and promotes collagen production around the eyes.

Step 5: Treatment

Acne? Dark spots? Now is the time to apply treatment to those areas before adding moisturizer. Remember, just dab treatment on the areas that need it.

Step 6: Moisturize

What’s the best way to prevent fine lines and wrinkles? Hydrate your skin! Not only does this help lock in all the other steps but it will keep your skin moisturized.

Step 7: SPF

SPF is SUPER important for your skin. Not only does it prevent premature aging from the sun but it also protects your skin from harsh UV rays that can cause cancer.
