Skin partly reflects the health status of each person. Therefore, to take care of your health in general and your skin in particular, you need to build healthy habits and maintain basic skin care steps.

1. Cleanse the skin


Cleansing is the first and most important step in your facial skin care routine, whatever your skin type. After a long day, sebum and dirt will stick to the skin. Therefore, women need to maintain this habit of washing their face twice/in the morning when they wake up and at night before going to bed.
After cleansing your skin, apply toner and moisturizer. Toners help remove the remaining traces of oil, dirt and makeup that you leave behind after washing your face. Accordingly, you should find a toner and moisturizer that is right for your skin. Even people with oily skin need to use a moisturizer.
