Skin Care: It's not expensive products that matter, but a proper routine. Learn the A to Z of skin care for beginners..

In today's world, the first effects of dust, pollution, and stress are visible on our skin. If you want to start taking care of your skin, it's important to understand that skin care isn't a difficult task.

A proper routine doesn't mean expensive products, but rather understanding your skin's needs. A basic skin care routine is divided into two parts: morning (AM) and night (PM). Let's explore what your morning and evening skin care routine should look like if you're a beginner.

Morning Skin Care Routine
The main purpose of a morning routine is to hydrate your skin and protect it from the sun's harmful rays.

Cleansing - After waking up, wash your face with a mild face wash. This removes oil and sweat accumulated overnight.

Moisturizing - After washing your face, it's important to keep your skin hydrated. Apply a light moisturizer according to your skin type (oily, dry, or combination). This locks in moisture.

Sunscreen - The most important step. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, never forget to apply sunscreen. It protects your skin from premature aging, wrinkles, and tanning. Always apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

Night Skin Care Routine
Night is the time for skin repair. Your skin cells repair themselves at night, so this routine is crucial.

Double Cleansing or Deep Cleanse - If you applied makeup or sunscreen during the day, it's important to thoroughly remove it. First, cleanse your face with cleansing milk or oil, then use a face wash.

Toning - If you have oily skin, you can use a toner. It balances the skin's pH level and keeps pores clean.

Eye Cream or Serum - If you have problems like dark circles or acne, apply treatment products or eye cream at night.

Moisturizer - Your skin needs deep nourishment at night. Choose a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid or ceramides, which can repair your skin overnight.

A few important tips for beginners:

Patch test - Before applying any new product to your entire face, apply it to your hand and wait 24 hours to see if it irritates.

Be patient - It takes at least 4 to 6 weeks for any skin care routine to show results. So don't expect miracles overnight.

Drink water - Externally applied products will only work if your body is hydrated from within. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Identify your skin type - Don't buy any product without knowing your skin type. If you have extremely sensitive skin, consult an expert.
