1. Cleanse

Use an actual cleanser like Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash instead of actual soap that will dry out and irritate your skin.
Cleanse using your hands instead of a rag or washcloth to avoid further irritating your skin and spreading bacteria.
If you're cleansing your skin only once a day, Make sure you cleanse your skin first thing in the morning because your body produces the most oil at night but…
Also cleansing your skin before bed is good for removing makeup & getting rid of any extra oil you accumulated during the day.

Don't cleanse more than 2 times a day

Cleansing TOO Much will completely wipe out all the oil on your face.
Your body will produce more oil than usual if you cleanse too much. The excess oil from over cleansing will cause acne
It's okay to have some oil on your face because it's needed to make you look younger

Cleansing based on your skin type

For oily skin it's best to cleanse your skin 2 times a day with a clear gel cleanser like Clinique Wash-Away Gel Cleanser to get rid of excess oil, dirt & bacteria.
For dry skin you only need to cleanse your skin once a day first thing in the morning with a creamy cleanser like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
If you don't know how to determine your skin type… Use a cleanser for all types of skin like Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash

2. Toner

You don't have to use toners because most cleansers do a good job of getting rid of all the excess oil, dirt and makeup.
If you use a foamy cleanser then it's recommend you do use a toner after cleansing since most foamy cleansers don't completely get rid of all the dirt, oil and makeup.
Toner's also close your pores to prevent infections.
For oily skin use astringents or toners that are 20-to-60% alcohol like Aqua Glycolic Astringent Toner
For dry skin you can skip using the toner to prevent further dryness Or… Use a alcohol free hydrating toner like Almay Toner 2

3. Moisturize

Use a moisturizer to restore moisture back to your face taken away by cleansing and toning
Moisturizing your skin is one of the best things you can do for younger looking skin. Having enough moisture prevents dryness, flaky skin, acne & wrinkles
Don't over moisturize your skin because it can clog up your pores.

All skin types need moisturizing

For oily skin use an oil free moisturizer like Almay Daily Oily Skin Moisturizer. Oiler skin only needs moisturizing once a day.
Dry skin needs moisturizing at least 2 times a day with a moisturizer like Almay Daily Dry Skin Moisturizer

If you don't understand what a cleanser and a moisturizer is then think about this way… Cleansers are basically like soap for your face and moisturizers are like lotion for your face but… Cleansers and moisturizers are made just for better looking facial skin rather than regular soap & lotion

4. Exfoliate

Exfoliating your skin regularly will easily make you look younger by preventing wrinkles, age spots, acne and an uneven appearance of your skin tone.
Exfoliating scrubs off the old and ugly looking dead skin cells so newer better looking skin cells can grow to make your skin look younger.

When you exfoliate,

Use a cleanser first before exfoliating your skin.
Then Use a moisturizer on your face after you exfoliate your skin.
Do not scrub hard, avoid your eyes & mouth areas and just lightly scrub your face for 1-to-2 minutes.

3 Ways to exfoliate your skin

Rub your face with a washcloth to exfoliate your skin but this is not recommended unless using a clean washcloth free of bacteria.
Use scrubs like Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream containing tiny granules. Avoid scrubs that contain large or triangular granules that may tear your skin making you break out even more.
Use more exotic treatments like an exfoliating mask, microdermabrasion kits or chemical peels if scrubs irritate your skin.

Exfoliating based on your skin type

For oily skin you should exfoliate 2-to-4 times a week.
If your skin is drier… Exfoliating only 1-to-2 times per week is needed.

5. Facial

If you can afford it… Get a facial done once a month by a professional esthetician because facials go way beyond the basic skin care of cleansing, moisturizing and exfoliating

Your face gets massaged to improve facial circulation.
Steam is used to really open your pores to extract out even more dead skin particles.
Facials also remove black heads, white heads and blemishes.
