Cleanser. Hydrating Serum. Moisturizer. Sunscreen.
Most people don’t have a skincare routine, but I’m here to tell you the importance and ease of starting yours today! There are four base products everyone should have, which are a cleanser, hydrating serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Skincare is for everyone, whether it’s for acne, preventative care, or corrective care.
Itzel Reyes, a licensed esthetician, says, “This is an effective skincare routine that incorporates all the essentials to bring your skin back to life…they are professional grade, result driven products.”
It is important to have a skincare routine not only to look good but to have healthy skin now and as we get older. Also, if you think it’s too late to start yours, it’s not as long as you start! People usually think skincare is only for people with acne, but they’re wrong. Itzel sees clients who also want to prevent their skin from getting dry during the fall season or who want to protect it from getting sun damage. She also has clients who already have sun damage and hyperpigmentation, which is caused by not using or having the right products to protect their skin.
“Would you believe me if I told you this was 80% home care…”
Ultra Gentle Cleanser
Step 1: start with your cleanser and make sure you fully rinse it off before applying the other products.
Hydrating Serum
Step 2: After you’ll want to add a pea size amount of your hydrating serum.
Moisturizer
Step 3: Add about a nickle size of moisturizer and make sure to wait about 20 seconds before adding your spf!
Sunscreen
Step 4: Lastly don’t forget to put your sunscreen, which should be two finger length amount. Make sure to massage it in to not have a white cast!

I love this article! I think it’s extremely necessary to have conversations about skincare routines and how important it is to take care of your skin. Especially living in Southern California where it is almost always sunny, you want to keep your skin moisturized and protected from the sun at all times.

Great article especially for college kids that are always on the go! People either are so busy they forgot about the importance of skin care or think they need a 7 step skin care routine. It’s important for people to not only be educated on skin care but also know easy and simple it could be. You did a great job explaining just that!

Hi Valeria!
This article was very refreshing to read, and helpful. Me personally, I love skincare and finding what regimen works for me. I started pretty early, but I know most people still aren’t sure what to do or where to begin. I love that you included such easy steps and explanations. The photo showing different target/problem areas on the skin was also a great addition!

Hi Valeria, I really enjoyed reading your article and I think that skincare is an important topic to be informed about. You made the steps of a skincare routine very easy to understand and I think it was a great idea to include the opinions of an esthetician in your article. I personally have pretty dry skin so incorporating hydrating serum and moisturizer in my routine is a must!

Hi Valeria! I am very interested in skincare and have my own routine so I really enjoyed this article. I learned that I should wait a bit before applying sunscreen after moisturizer. I didn’t realize it affected anything but now I know, so thank you!
