Basic skincare routine to defy ageing

  • Cleansing: Cleansing is the first step in any skincare regime – start by using a mild cleansing and then pat drying the face.
  • Toning: Once clean, use a toner to balance the skin – take some in a cotton ball and then apply on the face. Toner helps regulate the pH level of the skin and nourishes it with some extra minerals as well.
  • Hyaluronic acid serum: Usually, a vitamin C-based serum is advised for dry skin prone to acne. Hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient in vitamin C-based serums and works for all skin types, even in case of sensitive skin prone to breakouts.
  • Eye cream: A lot of signs of ageing appear around the eyes – under eye bags, crow’s feet, dark circles and more. Therefore, it is advised to starting using a vitamin C, retinol (vitamin A meant for healthy skin) peptides and vitamin K for healthy skin.
  • Moisturiser: The key to healthier skin free of signs of ageing is hydration. Doctors advise using the right kind of it to prevent acne, breakouts and even dryness.
  • Sunscreen: Sunscreen is also an essential element of the skincare routine. Try to use a good sun protection formula (SPF), strong enough to keep the ultraviolet rays of the sun at bay. Apply it 30 minutes before stepping out and apply regularly even on cloudy, rainy days.
