How to build a beginner skincare routine

Four steps are enough: cleanse, treat, moisturise, protect. Start simple — consistency beats a long shelf.

You don’t need ten products to start. A short routine you actually use will outperform a complicated one you skip.

Morning

  1. Cleanse (or rinse if dry)
  2. Optional serum
  3. Moisturiser
  4. SPF

Evening

  1. Cleanse
  2. Optional serum
  3. Moisturiser

Order rule

Thinnest to thickest. SPF last in the morning.
