Today, I’m here to guide you through a proven skincare routine that will leave your skin looking flawless, healthy, and glowing. Let's dive in to our personal skincare routine steps and the best products to use to acheive that flawless glow!
Start with a Clean Slate: The Importance of Cleansing
The first thing to understand is you definitely don’t want to be adding layers and layers of products onto your skin without clearing and cleansing first. Using a good quality cleanser is very important as the first step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup that can clog your pores and cause unwanted and unnecessary breakouts. Think of it as prepping your canvas before you paint, it’s the most crucial step to an amazing, finished result.
Then, in the morning use a gentle cleanser that isn’t too harsh on the skin to get rid of the excess dirt collected throughout your pores overnight. A foaming cleanser is great for oily skin, while a cream-based cleanser works wonders for dry or sensitive skin.

2. Exfoliate for a Brighter Complexion
Exfoliation is the number one key for making your skin smooth and flawless. It removes dead skin cells that can make your complexion look dull and allows and preps your skin for your other skincare products to work more successfully.
You can either gently exfoliate your skin by hand with an exfoliator scrub or brush or by purchasing AHAs (like glycolic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) 2-3 times a week. A serum is best recommended for sensitive skin as it dissolves those unwanted dead skin cells without the need for excess scrubbing and leaves your skin feeling ultra soft and smooth.

3. Moisturize for ultimate hydration
Hydration is key for that seamless and glowy finish. Using a good quality moisturiser will help keep that flawless texture and hydration, whilst also protecting your skin barrier.
For Oily Skin: Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that won’t clog your pores.
For Dry Skin: Opt for a richer cream that provides long-lasting hydration.
For Combination Skin: A gel-based moisturizer works well, delivering hydration without feeling heavy.

How to maintain that flawless glow
A step by step skincare guide is nothing without the extra efforts to keep your skin maintained and healthy. There are some simple rules that just cant be overtaken by skincare products and routines.
1. Never Skip SPF: Protect Your Glow
Sun damage is the number one enemy of glowing skin. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can cause premature aging and dark spots, so its important to never skip your SPF.
Daily SPF: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day. Yes, even in the winter!
For Oily Skin: Look for a mattifying sunscreen that controls shine while protecting your skin.
For Dry Skin: A hydrating sunscreen with added moisture will keep your skin feeling soft and protected.
2. Feed Your Skin from Within
Glowing skin isn’t just about what you put on your face. It’s also about what you put in your body. Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats will nourish your skin from the inside out, giving you that natural glow.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and plump.
Antioxidants: Incorporate foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts to fight off free radicals that can cause skin damage.
Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseed, and walnuts can help keep your skin barrier strong and moisturized.
3. Making Your Skincare Routine Your Own
Girls, I think we can all agree that after a hard day at work the number one thing you just cant wait to do is to simply put your feet up, turn on a movie and relax by doing a face, lip or even an eye mask. There is no better feeling and it’s important to make your skincare routine your own. If you don’t already this is your sign to start!
