Great skin isn’t just about genetics – it’s about having a proper skincare routine. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or combination, finding the right products and using them consistently is key to maintaining healthy skin. Here’s a step-by-step guide to building the ultimate skincare routine that works for all skin types.
Step 1: Cleansing
Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup, preparing your skin for the products that follow. If you have oily skin, choose a foaming cleanser to help control excess oil. For dry skin, a hydrating cream cleanser will work wonders. Always cleanse twice a day – once in the morning and once before bed.
Recommended cleansers:
- Foaming Cleanser for Oily Skin
- Cream Cleanser for Dry Skin
- Micellar Water for Sensitive Skin
Step 2: Toning
Toners help balance your skin’s pH level and remove any leftover impurities after cleansing. They also prep your skin for better absorption of moisturizers and serums. For acne-prone skin, use a toner with salicylic acid. For dry or sensitive skin, opt for an alcohol-free, hydrating toner.
Recommended toners:
- Clarifying Salicylic Acid Toner
- Hydrating Rose Water Toner
Step 3: Moisturizing
Moisturizing is essential to lock in hydration and keep your skin smooth and supple. Even oily skin types need moisture, but the key is choosing the right formula. For oily skin, use a lightweight gel-based moisturizer. For dry skin, go for richer, creamier options. Don’t forget a nighttime moisturizer to help your skin repair and regenerate while you sleep.
Recommended moisturizers:
- Gel Moisturizer for Oily Skin
- Rich Cream Moisturizer for Dry Skin
- Overnight Repairing Moisturizer
Step 4: Sun Protection
Never underestimate the importance of SPF! Sun protection is crucial for preventing premature aging and protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours if you’re outdoors.
Recommended sunscreens:
- SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen
- Lightweight SPF Moisturizer
Step 5: Extra Tips for Healthy Skin
- Exfoliation: Regularly exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells. For sensitive skin, use a gentle exfoliator once a week. For oily skin, a chemical exfoliant can help prevent clogged pores.
- Serums: Add serums to your routine to target specific concerns like dark spots, fine lines, or dullness. Vitamin C serums are great for brightening, while hyaluronic acid is ideal for hydration.

- Gentle Exfoliating Scrub
- Vitamin C Brightening Serum
- Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum
