The basics every routine needs
Great skin doesn't require a 12-step routine. Most people do best with a few consistent steps.
Morning
- Cleanse with a gentle cleanser.
- Antioxidant serum, like vitamin C, to help protect against environmental damage and brighten skin.
- Moisturizer suited to your skin type.
- Sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher, every single day. In South Florida, this is the most important step.
Evening
- Cleanse to remove sunscreen, makeup and oil.
- Treatment, such as a retinoid, to support cell turnover, texture and fine lines. Start slowly, a few nights a week.
- Moisturizer to support your skin barrier.
Common mistakes
- Skipping sunscreen on cloudy days or indoors near windows
- Using too many strong actives at once
- Over-exfoliating, which can cause redness and breakouts
- Switching products too often to see results
When to add professional treatments
Home care maintains your skin, while professional treatments go deeper. Popular options include:
- Hydrafacial for a monthly deep cleanse and glow
- Chemical peels for tone and texture
- Microneedling for scars and fine lines
- IPL for sun spots and redness
