Step 2: Toner
This is a skin care step that many women overlook. However, if you do not use toner, it will reduce the effectiveness of the next facial care steps. Toners work to shrink pores and act as a delivery system for antioxidants, vitamin B derivatives, and even skin-tightening acids.
Each toner will work to solve different skin problems. So it's important to use the right one for your skin.
Step 3: Serum
Serum is an ultra-concentrated, nutrient-rich treatment that addresses a variety of skin problems. Currently on the market there are many different serums, but for the day, you should use antioxidant serums to reduce the skin's inflammatory response to neutralize damage from UV rays and environmental pollutants.
Step 4: Eye cream
Eye cream should be used 1-2 times a day to maintain anti-aging eye area. Regular use of eye cream will keep the eyelid skin elastic, preventing wrinkles or loss of collagen.
Step 5: Treatment
Since acne treatments vary in active ingredients, check product packaging or consult a dermatologist for the best way to apply.
Step 6: Moisturize
Many women think that moisturizer is suitable for dry skin. This is a misconception because even oily, combination skin needs to use this product. Most experts recommend that the best time to apply moisturizer is while the skin is still damp.
In case, you are using an acne treatment, skip the moisturizing step. This is to make sure the ingredients in it won't interfere with the active ingredients in the acne treatment.
Step 7: Sunscreen
Sunscreen is the last step in your daytime skin care routine. This product will help block UV rays. Depending on the intended use and skin type, you can choose between physical sunscreens or chemical sunscreens.

Step 4: Treatments, serums and peels

This is why most targeted skin care treatments are used at night such as prescription medications (tretinoin, acne and rosacea creams), retinol creams, treatments Exfoliating treatments (peeks and masks) and anti-aging serums (infused with peptides, growth factors and other bioactive ingredients).
