FAQs

What is the basic skincare routine?

The basic skincare routine typically involves cleansing, toning, and moisturizing (CTM). Additional steps may include exfoliation and the use of targeted treatments like serums.

How often should I cleanse my face?

Cleansing should be done twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime, to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.

What is the purpose of toner?

Toner helps to balance the skin's pH, remove any remaining traces of dirt or oil, and prepare the skin for the next steps in your routine.

Do I need to use a moisturizer if I have oily skin?

Yes, even oily skin needs hydration. Opt for oil-free or gel-based moisturizers to provide hydration without clogging pores.

How often should I exfoliate?

Exfoliation frequency depends on your skin type. For most people, 1-3 times a week is sufficient. Avoid over-exfoliating, as it can lead to irritation.

What is the role of serums in a skincare routine?

Serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skincare concerns like hydration, brightening, or anti-aging. They are typically applied after cleansing and before moisturizing.

Can I use multiple skincare products at once?

Yes, but it's important to introduce new products gradually to avoid irritation. Start with one new product at a time and observe how your skin reacts.

How much product should I use?

The amount varies depending on the product. For cleansers and moisturizers, a pea-sized amount is often enough. Follow the recommended usage on the product packaging.

How long does it take to see results from skincare products?

Results vary, but most products take several weeks to show noticeable improvements. Consistency is key, so be patient and stick to your routine.

Can I layer different skincare products?

Yes, you can layer products, but there's a general rule: apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency. Start with lighter products like serums and finish with heavier ones like creams.
