Skin Care Treatments That Protect Your Complexion

Your skincare routine should include a cleanser, toner, exfoliant and serum, and if you’re looking for extra help with your aging skin, a retinol or vitamin C cream is essential. You should also try to incorporate antioxidants into your daily routine, as they can help prevent free radical damage and keep your skin hydrated, firm and youthful looking. Toner is a liquid product that helps rehydrate the skin by neutralizing any excess oil and removing makeup residue that may be sitting on top of your pores. It’s important to choose a toner that is suitable for your skin type and tone, says dermatologist Mattioli.

She recommends a toner with natural acids such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid, which are gentle enough for the face but strong enough to exfoliate and unclog pores. You should also look for a cleanser with hyaluronic acid, which boosts moisture levels and keeps the skin soft. You’ll want to use a moisturizer after your cleanser and toner have dried on to lock in that hydration. It’s important to wash your face twice a day, with a gentle cleanser that doesn’t contain alcohol or other harsh ingredients. If you’re prone to acne, be sure to wash your face at night, too, before you go to sleep.
