how to build your perfect skincare routine | skincare 101

 

First off, we're going to go over, step-by-step, how to build YOUR perfect skincare routine. This guide covers the basics of working towards and maintaining beautiful skin as well as the framework of creating a skincare routine. In my skincare 101 series, this post emphasizes the importance of daily routines to create not only healthy skin but also healthy habits. From this basic structure, we can then build on and dive into the details of how to elevate and perfect a skincare system that is customized to you and your life and your values. 

Practice makes perfect applies in beauty just as well as any sport or instrument you can play. It can take years to figure out what works best for you in all sorts of areas. Beauty is especially complicated when it comes to figuring out what works best for you. Products, on one hand, can range from omg-this-random-cleanser-I-found-on-tiktok-is-perfect to having a routine that you kinda do when you wake up early enough and don't have an 8AM multivariable calc class to constantly struggling with finding and sticking to a beauty routine that you truly love. 

This last part is the most important aspect to skincare and beauty. A skincare and beauty routine is first and foremost a ritual that we perform for ourselves. I enjoy taking the time to treat and take care of myself because it's like a little scheduled in self care moment of my own. It's quiet in the mornings (and usually in the evenings), and when you're alone in your thoughts, doing these little rituals that are for YOU, it becomes a cornerstone to self love. 

~ Love yourself, because nobody else knows you as well as you do, and you deserve to like yourself, because you may not accept of your flaws and quirks and everything you are, because who really is? You're trying though, and if you aren't, you can try to embrace all of you, even if it's hard and insecurity crashes at confidence you've built this far, by taking time to take care of yourself. Taking time to take care of your mental self is just as important as taking time to take care of your physical self ~

For a skincare and beauty routine to succeed, you have to love it and enjoy the process. Otherwise, what's the point? A cake made with love and passion and time is gonna taste way better than something you just threw together using a hey siri recipe. The more effort and care you put into yourself, the better you'll be. 

But in the daily grind of homework, jobs, relationships, and more, it can be hard to put time away just for yourself. That's why I think skincare routines early in the morning and late at night are great scheduled blocks of time for you to take time for yourself. But even then, it can be hard to figure out these daily routines!

Here's my simple breakdown on crafting your perfect beauty routine: 

1. Understand what type of skin you have

2. Understand what kind of skincare your unique skin type needs

3. Find your perfect products

4. Craft your skin care routine + put it into action!

This series is meant to provide specific customized info to your specific skin type + needs, but along the way, you'll also learn the basics of skincare that are relevant to all skin types.
