And while many of us strive to have one, ultimately our vanity wins out, and we end up doing more harm than good by just randomly buying beauty products that claim to do wonders. The key to having perfect skin is consistency and belief, not any particular chemical. The greatest gift you can offer yourself is consistency. So read on for some skincare advice that will ensure you have healthy skin.
 

1. Cleanser

Whether you have an oily or dry skincare routine, a cleanser comes in first,  especially when taking off makeup. The makeup and dirt can be broken down with the use of micellar water or an oil-based cleaner. These skincare products penetrate your pores and remove the harmful impurities that have built up there.
 

2. Facewash

Koreans have long practised double cleaning, which is a MUST in the realm of beauty and skincare. A layer of micellar water or oil cannot simply be removed from your face with normal water. To stop these products from further clogging your pores, cleanse your face first. A more healthy and sustainable alternative to face wash is a skin care soap.
 

3. Moisturizer

A good moisturiser is a cream that will hide all the layers underneath. However, you might be questioning if moisturising cream is necessary for acne-prone skin. Absolutely, yes! Everyone should use a moisturiser; those with a gel base are for oily skin, while those with a cream base are for dry skin.
 

4. Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a need all year round. Use it each and every day! The skin is always exposed to dangerous UV radiation, even when you aren't going outside. You may protect yourself from the sun and delay ageing by using sunscreen. The recommended range by skincare experts is an SPF of 30 and above.
 

5. Facial Oil

A face oil gives your skin extra radiance. Your final skincare step before going to bed can be this. While the body is at rest, a number of oils that include organic skincare components work to nourish and heal the skin.
 

6. Self Tanner

If you enjoy the way you look tanned, use a self-tanner. You prematurely age your skin whenever you tan, whether inside or outside. Your chance of developing skin cancer also rises. You may achieve the look you want with a self-tanner without taking any risks. Even when using a self-tanner, you need to protect your skin from the sun to maintain its health.
 

7. Refrain from scrubbing your skin clean

Scrubbing your skin could seem normal if you've been dripping with sweat a lot or have a severe case of acne. Don't! Scrubbing causes skin irritation, which aggravates all skin conditions, including acne.
 

8. Stress Less

Your skin can benefit from learning appropriate stress management techniques. When a person is under a lot of stress, certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema), may appear for the first time. Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea are just a few of the skin problems that can flare up when under stress.
 
Always approach your skincare holistically. Because all of our bodily processes are coordinated, you must provide them with both internal and external nutrition. It can be challenging to practise proper skin care. Keep in mind that striving for "perfect" skin is essentially useless. Love your skin and use these tips to make informed choices about your specific skin needs.
