Just as getting basics right before mastering any form of art or education, the same formula would be applicable to skin care as well... before getting a expertise on skin care, let’s know if we know the basic skin care routine or not;

Cleansing

Cleansing should be done twice daily, using a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.

Always use your hands instead of a washcloth. Washcloths can harbor bacteria and they're too rough for sensitive skin.

Skin shouldn't be "squeaky clean" but should have some natural oils left behind.

Toning

A good toner will remove any excess dirt or makeup left behind by your cleanser-the proof is in the cotton pad. It's also a step too many women skip in their skincare routine.

Regular use will refine and minimize pores and make skin feel fresh.

Moisturizing

Next to staying out of the sun, moisturizing is the best step towards keeping skin looking young.

If you don’t have problem skin use a lightweight moisturizer.

In fall or winter, you might want to switch over to something a little more substantial, but for the summer something light is best.

Moisturizer should be applied twice a day.

Scrub/Exfoliate

Exfoliating is a step that can be done about once a week.

Sloughing off dead skin cells will reveal younger, smoother skin beneath the surface.

Use a skincare brush. You can use it with whatever cleanser is your favorite.

The oscillating brush buffs skin to a healthy glow-but a good scrubbing cleanser or pad will also do the trick.

Concentrate on these basic skin care routine, before going ahead and trying all those hi-fy special treatments for your skin...
