Start With the Basics: What Every Skincare Routine Needs
No matter your skin type or age, most effective skincare routines include a few core steps:
Gentle cleanser
Hydrating moisturizer
Daily sunscreen
Exfoliation as needed
Your at-home routine should support your skin daily, while professional treatments help address concerns that home care alone may not fully correct.
Skincare for Dry Skin
Dry skin often feels tight, rough, flaky, or uncomfortable. It may also look dull or show fine lines more easily, especially during seasonal changes or after sun exposure.
A good routine for dry skin should focus on gentle cleansing, deep hydration, and barrier support. Avoid over-exfoliating, harsh scrubs, and products that leave your skin feeling stripped.
Recommended routine:
Cream or gentle cleanser
Hydrating serum
Rich moisturizer
Daily SPF
Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week

Skincare for Oily or Congested Skin
Oily skin can still be dehydrated. Many people make the mistake of over-cleansing or using harsh products, which can cause the skin to produce even more oil. A balanced routine should help control excess shine without damaging the skin barrier.
Recommended routine:
Gel or foaming cleanser
Lightweight moisturizer
Daily Oil-free SPF
Gentle exfoliation
Clarifying mask as needed

Skincare for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin may react easily to weather, products, heat, fragrance, or over-exfoliation. It can appear red, irritated, dry, or inflamed. The goal for sensitive skin is to calm, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier.
Recommended routine:
Gentle cleanser
Fragrance-free moisturizer
Daily Mineral SPF
Minimal exfoliation
Calming products

Skincare for Combination Skin
Combination skin usually means some areas are oily while others are dry or normal. The T-zone may feel shiny, while the cheeks may feel dry or tight. The key is balance. Combination skin often benefits from a customized approach instead of using the same product everywhere.
Recommended routine:
Gentle balancing cleanser
Lightweight moisturizer
Daily SPF
Targeted treatment by area
Regular facials to assess changing skin needs
