What should a normal skin care routine be?

Like what products should I use and in what order?


Also, what brands are good for cleaning your face?


I seem to be having trouble getting the right skin care routine for me.


Well, thanks for answering and helping! (:What should a normal skin care routine be?
I have written up my skincare routine on my blog, but it's a bit lengthy so I've summarised it for you. :P

1- Remove makeup. ALWAYS always remove all makeup at the end of the day. This includes all foundation and eye makeup - don't forget the mascara. Just apply some makeup remover to a cotton pad and gently wipe all your makeup off. Personally I find my mascara difficult to remove, so what I do is I apply some remover directly to my closed eye, wait a few seconds for it to dissolve, then wipe it off.





2- Cleanse. This is an important step and should be done daily. You don't want a day's worth of oil and dirt still caked on your skin while you sleep. It's easiest to do this in the shower so you can wash it straight off. It's best to use your cleanser twice - the first time removes all the surface makeup, oils, dirt etc, and the second time does the actual cleansing. Biore Ice Cleanser [link] is my favourite because it really feels icy and cool on your skin, very refreshing after a long day. :) However right now I'm using St Ives Apricot Cleanser and it's just as good.





3- Exfoliate. Do this only 2-3 times a week; using it more often can be too harsh your skin. This is similar to a cleanser but contains abrasive sandy bits that unclog pores. The best I've used is St Ives Apricot Scrub. A less abrasive one is Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub.





4- Toner. After getting out of the shower, your pores should be enlarged because of the heat. You need to tighten your pores again to prevent fresh dirt from entering and forming more blackheads. Toner tightens pores, restores your skin's natural pH and prepares your skin to accept moisture. Apply toner over your face and neck with a cotton pad. Alternatively cold water can help tighten pores, so you can use a cold wet towel instead. I currently use Biore Triple Action Toner.





5- Moisturise. After your toner dries, apply moisturiser! I've been told always to use a face moisturiser instead of a regular body lotion especially near your eyes. Moisturisers come in either creams or gels. There's no 'best' moisturiser I've found as they all pretty much work the same, so go with your favourite brand/scent. However one of my favourite ones is the Avon Maximum Moisture Super Hydrating Gel, it feels really cool and refreshing, not sticky at all! It's this blue gel in a tub and it's quite amusing to put your finger in. :)





6- Remove blackheads. Using.. pore strips! Actually I have mixed feelings about these strips but I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not to use them.





7- Mask. A facial mask helps tighten your skin and keeps it healthy. I know you're supposed to do this once a week, but I really can't remember the last time I've done one, must've been months. x] Hate doing it, and I end up looking like the mud monster lol.

LOL, nevermind that wasn't much of a summary. The most important steps if you're lazy are removing makeup and cleansing. Exfoliating and moisturising comes next.What should a normal skin care routine be?

How old are you, lucky normal skin owner?





Anyway, first you have to wash your face. Use any kind of face soap, cleansing milk/gel/water/wipes etc. or wash scrub [a few times a week, because it hurts your face if used everyday].


Then you have to apply some toner on your CLEAN face for moisturisation. It is very important step for skincare but it is missed very often.


At last, apply some face cream. Make sure that you got two[!!] creams - for day and for night, not just one.


That's it.





Remember to wash your hands before applying any skincare product. If you don't, then bacteria from your hands will go in the cream, then you will apply it on your face and you will have troboule with your skin.
