1. Cleansing
- Wash your face twice a day with a pH-matched mild cleanser.
- Avoid harsh scrubs and makeup removers as these damage the protective barrier of the skin, further leading to acne and infections.
2. Moisturising
Moisturizing is a crucial step in any skincare routine. Use a fragrant-free moisturizer twice a day as it helps:
- Hydrate: Lock in moisture, softening and smoothing the skin.
- Protect: Act as a barrier against environmental stressors and dryness.
- Nourish: Deliver essential nutrients and antioxidants to the skin.
3 Sun protection & Choice of Makeup
- Avoid using foundations and compact powders on a daily basis
- Always opt for water-based foundations
- Choose a Non-comedogenic physical Sunscreen instead and it's advisable to apply sunscreen even when indoors
4. Diet and Lifestyle
- Consume at least 2 liters of fluids every day
- Brightly Coloured fruits like pomegranates, watermelons, strawberries, etc are rich in antioxidants and work wonders on the skin.
- Destressing in the form of exercise, yoga, etc is highly recommended.
5. Exfoliation
