Skincare doesn’t need twelve steps. This simple five-step routine covers everything your skin actually needs.
Step 1: Cleanse — a gentle cleanser morning and night removes dirt without stripping skin.
Step 2: Tone — balances skin and preps it for the next steps.
Step 3: Treat — a vitamin C serum in the morning for brightness, or a simple hydrating serum.
Step 4: Moisturize — locks everything in. Choose one suited to your skin type.
Step 5: Sunscreen (morning only) — the single most important anti-aging product that exists.
Start simple, stay consistent for four weeks before judging results, and introduce only one new product at a time so you know what works. Your skin will thank you.
