A No-Nonsense Routine for Every Skin Type
by LiaPink Books
Ten-step routines, a new must-have serum every month, and still not sure what your skin actually needs? This book cuts through the noise. A good routine for most people has three core steps: cleanse gently, moisturise, and protect from the sun. Everything else is optional and should be added slowly, for a reason.
You will learn how to find your skin type with a simple bare-face test, build a morning and evening routine that suits it, and use sunscreen properly, including how much to apply. A plain-language ingredient table explains what glycerin, ceramides, niacinamide, vitamin C, retinoids and exfoliating acids are commonly used for, and what to be careful with.
You also get ready-made routines for dry, oily, combination, normal, sensitive, breakout-prone and mature skin, a step-by-step patch test, a safe schedule for introducing actives, a troubleshooting table with clear signs to see a professional, and a four-week starter plan. No brands, no miracle claims, any age, any skin tone, any budget.
What you get:
• A bare-face test to find your real skin type
• The three-step core routine, morning and evening
• How to choose and apply sunscreen properly
• A plain-language guide to common ingredients
• Ready-made routines for seven skin types and concerns
• How to patch test and introduce actives safely
• A troubleshooting table and a four-week starter plan
Skincare has become noisy. Ten-step routines, new "must-have" ingredients every month, shelves of serums promising the impossible. It is easy to spend a lot of money and still feel unsure whether any of it is helping, or whether it is the reason your skin feels tight, red or blotchy.
Here is the reassuring truth: a good routine for most people has three core steps. Cleanse gently. Moisturise. Protect from the sun during the day. Everything else is optional, and should be added one step at a time, for a specific reason.
How to apply sunscreen properly: make it the last step of your morning routine, after moisturiser and before make-up. Use enough. Most people apply far less than the amount used to test the SPF. A common guide is two finger-lengths of product for the face and neck. Do not forget the ears, the back of the neck and the hairline. Reapply roughly every two hours when you are outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towelling.
Keep a sunscreen by your toothbrush. Pairing it with something you already do every morning is the easiest way to make it automatic.
