what you need to do

the type of skin and its needs

we all have different skin types and different concerns when it comes to our skin. in some cases, pigmentation may be their primary concern, while in others, redness, sensitivity, and pores may be their primary concern. you may not need what you used to in your 30s in your 50s since your skin type and needs can change over time. similar to this, a routine that works for someone in their 40s may not be suitable for someone in their 20s.

there are several types of skin, including:

• oily
• dry
• combination
• sensitive
• acne-prone
• rosacea-prone

when you wake up

apply cleanser, brightening serum or spot treatment, moisturizer, and sunscreen
