What is a regular beauty routine?

A regular beauty routine is basically a set of daily steps you take to care for yourself. Ideally, you’d do this no matter what situation you are in. However, if you are stressed or have a lot of social obligations, having a beauty routine can help you stay calm and present. It’s important to note that a regular beauty routine isn’t about spending hours in the bathroom applying makeup. Instead, it should be about taking care of yourself in ways that don’t require you to spend a lot of time doing it. Some key things to keep in mind when thinking about your beauty routine are that you want to focus on skincare and makeup. While there are definitely shortcuts you can take when it comes to makeup, skincare is what will make the biggest difference in your appearance.

 

How to start a beauty routine

Before you dive in and start making your own skincare products and trying out all of your makeup, you will need to have a basic understanding of the basic steps of a beauty routine. So, let’s go over what you need to get started. 

Cleanse - A daily cleanse is an essential part of a beauty routine. It’s important to remember that your skin is the largest organ in your body. So, it’s important to take care of it. Cleansing removes dirt and excess oils from your skin and will help get rid of any blemishes that may be lingering underneath. 

Exfoliate - An exfoliating cleanser is a great step before you start a daily regimented routine. Exfoliating is a great way to remove the outer layer of your skin and get rid of any dead cells on your skin that may be causing clogged pores or pigmentation. 

Mask - Masking is an easy way to add extra hydration to your skin. There are many different types of masks depending on your skin type and preferences.

 

The most important parts of a beauty routine

Now that you have a basic understanding on how to get started, let’s move on to the most important parts of a beauty routine. These are what you should focus on daily. 

- Cleanse - This is probably the most important part of your beauty routine, and it should take up the majority of your time. Cleanse your face before you apply makeup, and use a mild cleanser that doesn’t contain alcohol. 

- Exfoliate - Exfoliating is not only a necessary step but one that can make a difference in your overall appearance. It’s important to exfoliate properly and with a product that is mild enough to not get rid of the layer of your skin but will still help to get rid of any excess oils. Exfoliating should be a weekly thing, not something you do once a month. 

- Moisturize - After you have cleared your skin, it’s important to moisturize your face with a lightweight formula.

 

Tips for maintaining your routine

- Track your skincare. If you are keeping track, you will stop skipping steps and mess up your schedule. - Allow your skincare products to soak in before applying makeup. 

- Don’t try to rush through a skincare step. Make sure to apply it properly and in a timely manner. 

- Keep your skincare products in a place that is easy to find. 

- Don’t feel like you have to follow a specific skincare routine. Make it as easy or as complicated as you want you to.
