“Skin care” is a broad topic, so it helps to break it down into the essentials and then tailor it to your specific needs (like oily, dry, or acne-prone skin).
A simple routine usually includes:
1. Cleansing
Wash your face twice daily to remove dirt, oil, and pollution. Look for gentle cleansers from brands like CeraVe or Cetaphil.
2. Moisturizing
Keeps your skin hydrated and protects the barrier. Even oily skin needs a lightweight moisturizer.
3. Sunscreen (SPF)
This is non-negotiable. Daily sunscreen prevents aging, pigmentation, and lowers risk of skin cancer. Brands like Neutrogena are popular.
