Basic Skincare Routine Steps by The Protocol LabUpdated a year ago
Basic skincare routine in a nutshell
If you’re just here for the basics, with no time to waste on long, boring explanations, we’ve got you covered - here’s the closest thing to a universally ideal skincare routine. All other routines are just simple variations on this depending on your skincare concerns.
AM
- Splash your face with a bit of cool or lukewarm water, or let your skin absorb some watery goodness in the shower.
- Apply a real vitamin C serum by gently pressing it in. (What do we mean by real? You can read more on that below.)
- Hydrate if your skin needs it with a simple moisturizer. Most drugstore moisturizers will work just fine.
- Protect yourself with a good amount of sunscreen.
PM
- Cleanse damp skin gently without harsh rubbing or abrasive aids. The cleanser you choose will depend on your skin concerns.
- Treat your concerns with a serum. Our Enzyme-Activated Retinol Serum is a great option for most skin concerns.
- Moisturize comprehensively by massaging cream or lotion over your skin.
