It’s never too late to follow a skin care regime. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s or even your 40s, a skin care routine that involves cleansing-toning-moisturising should be your holy grail. While cleansing helps remove impurities, toning shrinks pores, moisturising hydrates your skin leaving it supple and soft. Want to know how to go about an everyday skin care routine? Here’s a low-down...

 

Cleanse

Cleanse

The first step to a healthy skin care routine is to cleanse your skin every day. This will ensure that you remove all the dirt and impurities from your skin. Make sure you use lukewarm water while doing so because hot water dries out your skin. Besides helping your skin get rid of grime, this step also helps remove makeup. We suggest using the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Facial Foam, which is a clear liquid that transforms into a rich foam, which washes away dirt effectively without drying out your skin. Once you’re done, pat dry your face instead of rubbing it.

 

Tone

Tone

The next step is using a toner. Many women skip this step not realising that a toner has many benefits when used on a regular basis. It tightens your skin, reduces the size of your pores and removes any dirt that might be left on your skin. We suggest using the Lakmé Absolute Pore Fix Toner. You can spray it on directly or spray some product on a cotton ball and pat it all over your face.

 

Moisturise

Moisturise

The last and most important step is to moisturise. Use a light textured moisturiser during the day and a nourishing cream during the night. We suggest using the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Gel Crème that is a light-textured moisturiser, which gets absorbed easily into your skin and keeps the skin hydrated all day long. Also remember to apply lip balm throughout the day and at night before you sleep so that your lips are just as hydrated as your face. We suggest using the Lakmé Lip Love Lip Care that comes with a dual core—the inside of it hydrates the lips while the outer core lends your lips colour.
