Essential Morning Skin Care Routine for Radiant and Healthy Skin

Updated on: 26th December, 2021

While affecting health, our stressful routines don’t spare our skin either. Add age to it, and the skin becomes even more demanding. Of course, you cannot do much about either. But you can still keep your skin glowing with a regime that suits your skin type. So, here are some generic morning skincare routine steps for supple skin.

1. Cleanse Your Skin

Clean the overnight dirt and product build-up. Use a dermatologist-recommended cleansing oil that clears makeup and excess oil and softens the skin.

2. Do a Follow-Up with a Water-Based Cleanser

Let the above procedure be followed with a non-oily cleanser that deep cleanses your face and cleans the remaining dirt. Use a non-irritating, soothing, and low-pH cleanser.

3. Tone the Skin

Toning is essential. It can help remove dirt particles and excess oil left by the cleanser. The toner can help shrink the pores and balance the skin’s pH levels.

4. Moisturize the Skin

Use a dermatologist-prescribed moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized. You may also use a water-based gel that locks moisture in your skin.

5. Apply Sunscreen

Do you step out often? Then, apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 protection to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Repeat use every three to four hours even while at home.

6. Use an Eye Cream

Eye creams prevent wrinkles, dryness, and puffiness under the eyes. They would help make the eye skin fresh and young.  But proper good sleep and a good lifestyle has a good impact.

Winters could be harsh on your skin. These quick tips can help protect your skin from the dry winter weather.

• Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash
• Apply a few drops of dermatologist-recommended serum
• Use a heavy moisturizer to avoid dryness
• Apply a few drops of dermatologist-recommended serum
• The sun may not feel as harsh during winter. Yet, apply sunscreen.

Summers also require an exclusive skincare regime to keep the skin appear fresh.

• Face wash twice a day. Avoid overwashing!
• Buy a dermatologist-prescribed moisturizer, foundation, and sunscreen
• Use serums with antioxidants to hydrate the skin
• Exfoliate regularly with a face scrub twice a week to remove skin impurities
• Use sunscreen to avoid sun damage
• Keep your skin moisturized to prevent a greasy appearance to your skin
• Drink an adequate amount of water and maintain the proper diet

Many patients ask us what is the best thing to do to their skin in the morning when they have oily skin. So, generally, doing the below can help.

• Cleanse the skin regularly
• Exfoliate about twice a week
• Use a toner to hydrate the skin
• Apply a serum to enhance the skin’s texture and tone
• Keep the skin moisturized to avoid dryness
• Apply an eye cream based on your dermatologist’s advice

Dry skin requires more or less the same kind of treatment as an oily one. Here’s a morning skincare routine for dry skin.

• Cleanse the skin with a gentle cleanser
• Keep the skin hydrated with a mist or a toner
• Use a serum that rebuilds and protects the skin barrier
• Moisturize the skin regularly. Apply the moisturizer to your face and neck.
• Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30

The key to keeping the skin healthy and supple is to use certain products. Acne-prone skin isn’t an exception to it. Only the products may change based on the skin type.
