When you hear the phrase "skin care," three things come to mind: dry skin, skin cancer, and a long aisle of cosmetics at your drug store. It's not a minor problem, though. The steps for having healthy skin are not only vital but also straightforward to follow, even though a skin care regimen may seem like a lot of work.

You should start by thinking about your skin type. The three primary types of skin are dry, oily, and combination; though it may alter with the season, in general, your skin should stay pretty consistent.

First, it's important to understand the parts of a skin care regimen. Using various items blindly without understanding your skin type or the components in skincare products could make your skin look worse. Which is to say, what products are really necessary to keep clear, healthy skin?

Here is a list of simple skincare products you can use to take care of your skin:

Start With a Cleanser

Instead of just using a bar or body wash you happen to have on hand, be sure the cleanser you use to wash your face is designed for faces. Wash your face gently, being careful not to scratch it. To avoid dehydrating and stripping your skin of its natural oils, rinse with warm water afterward.

To find the cleaner that works best for you, some trial and error are required. If you have dry skin, you should use one without alcohol or fragrance. If you have oily skin, you should look for products that are oil-free and may want to consider using a toner as well. Even while a cliché skincare regimen typically recommends repeated cleansing.

Serum Goes Next

Serums are an additional optional part of your skincare routine and contain active ingredients like antioxidants or retinol that improve texture and firmness and reduce inflammation, among other benefits to skin health.

Moisturizer is a Must

Everyone should use moisturizers, which need to be used after every facial wash. There will inevitably be some trial and error, just like when choosing a cleanser. For instance, lightweight, oil-free, or gel treatments may be beneficial for oily skin.

Moisturizers keep your skin smooth and moisturized by preventing it from drying out. They best retain moisture when applied to slightly damp skin. You can also invest in a moisturizer with a higher SPF to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
