Every morning starts a fresh new day, that day can be started well with a staple beauty routine. Washing your face first thing in the morning is essential to clean off anything from the night before.
Following this, before any products, icing your face is a necessary step. There are ice rollers specifically for this that you keep in your freezer or simply just a piece of ice. Sticking ice directly onto your skin can be too intense. If using a regular ice cube, wrap it in a cloth and then ice your face, focusing under your eyes and on any inflammation.
After icing your face, you are now ready for products. Keeping it simple, you can use a moisturizer. More advanced, you can use a serum and then a moisturizer.
This next step is critical. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Sunscreen is easy to slap on and will save you in the future if you start now.
This is as simple as it needs to be in the morning! Cleansing, icing, moisturizer, and sunscreen!
The evening is a little more complex but can be made simple. Cleansing is essential to start with in the evening. Getting everything off from the day: bacteria, dirt, dead skin cells, it all has to go. Following this, but only a few times a week, use an exfoliant to turn over the skin cells on your face, getting anything deeper out. A bit harsh on the skin, exfoliants are not to be used daily.
Following in the steps of your morning routine, serums and moisturizers are next. Specifically any antiaging products. This would be products containing retinal or even a specific retinal cream. Hyaluronic acid, retinoid, and niacinamide are great ingredients for your night roster.
The last few important steps are specific spot treatments. This would include eye creams, but acne spot creams. Any targeted products are one of the final things to do.
