The best skin care routine might look overwhelming at first, but it is actually quite easy and truly involves just a few more minutes a day.

A sample of the best skin care routine is a daily commitment that involves:

~ Morning ~

cleanse

Gentle cleansing for oily skin types in the morning using a non-abrasive cleanser, soy-based in highly recommended.

Sensitive, reactive, dry and normal skin types only need to cleanse once a day in the evening.  These skin types simply use a very warm face cloth to gently massage and rinse the skin in the morning.

Aveeno Soy Cleanser

L'Oreal Age Perfect Cleanser

Paula's Choice Cleanser

Tone

Select a nourishing toner to completely cleanse the skin, removing any residue and traces of dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen.  Toning also provides an opportunity to introduce an anti-aging treatment that work to tighten pores, protect the skin from environmental damage, clear bacteria as well as to promote repair and skin health.

Note: Steer clear of toners that contain alcohol, fragrances, phthalates and parabens.

PCA Nutrient Toner

Murad Vitamin Rich Toner

TruSkin Mineral Toner

Moisturize

Select a "combination" moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type and aging symptoms that includes a variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals such as Hyaluronic acid, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Collagen, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C Ester.

As an example, I have dry, sensitive, reactive skin.  After toning I use the layering technique by applying a pure hyaluronic acid serum to provide hydration and lock in moisture followed by the Reviva Labs ALA, DMA, Vitamin C creme.

Finishing Treatments

At a minimum, without fail, always finish your morning routine with a sunscreen product.  If you have concerns about under eye circles and/or puffiness add an eye treatment prior to the sunscreen. 

As the final touch for adopting the best skin care routine, use an enriched facial mist occasionally throughout the day to keep your skin well-hydrated and provide the nutrition it needs to promote repair.

~ Evening ~

The nighttime routine duplicates the morning routine by starting with cleansing for all skin types.  It is beneficial prior to cleansing to hold a very warm wash cloth on your face for a few minutes to soften the skin and open pores.

Exfoliation

This step is followed by adding a gentle exfoliating treatment, using either mechanical with a scrub, a light acid chemical method or exfoliating facial brush.

Dermalogica Micro Scrub

Replenix Glycolic Pads

Olay Exfoliation Brush

As in the morning routine, apply an anti-aging toner, choosing one with a different combination of ingredients.

The two other additional steps in the nighttime routine involves applying a retinol serum (or moisturizer) along with the final step of a different vitamin rich moisturizer than the one used in the AM as well as a puffy under-eye bag treatment as a preventative and/or repair strategy.

Retinol Treatment

Since Vitamin A products increase the skin's sensitivity to sun, it is typically recommended to use retinol or derivatives of Vitamin A in the evening.

PCA .5% Retinol

Paula's Choice 1% Retinol

Skinceuticals 1% Retinol

The best skin care routine also integrates DIY home spa treatments on a regular basis to maximize rejuvenation results.

If you feel like a bit of extra pampering or just want a little fun with some swirling action try one of the home microdermabrasion spa kits, like the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions At Home Microdermabrasion System which utilizes the same aluminum-oxide crystals that the professional spa treatments use.
