My Skin Care Regimen Summary

Start with the basic skin care. Don't focus on the problem you have yet. Sometimes, just the cleaning steps clear your skin. After about 3 to 4 weeks, you can work on the specific areas.

For me, the focus was even texture and I have had a lot of improvement in that aspect with just the cleansing steps.

Cleanser- daily

Scrub- once a week

Toner - daily

Moisturizer/face oil - daily.

By month 2,

I did

Cleanser- 3x a week

Toner- daily. Use it first time to wipe dirt off, second time, to add moisture.

Hyaluronic acid - a product that can boost moisture in your face up to 6 litres! Best time to use it will be harmattan too

Moisturizer / oil - daily

Sunscreen

By month 4, I focused on the acne spots Cleanser- 3x a week

Vitamin C at night / Niacinamide during the day to treat the dark spots.

2x a week, I use lactic acid product at night to treat pimples.

Moisturizer / oil - daily

I do use facial scrubs but lactic acid clears my pimples faster. If you have severe pimples, salicylic acid or Benzoyl peroxide is more stronger.

That has been my routine. Take it one step at a time.

Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture.
