How to Build a Skin Care Routine Customized for You

July 29, 2019

The beauty and skin care world are finally catching up to the rest of us: one size (color, formula, etc.) does not fit all. 

Skin is complex and variable, and different people need different products to feel their best and keep their skin healthy. Several factors influence your skin’s condition, from your genes to your lifestyle, environment and the weather. So, learning how to build a skin care routine customized to your unique needs is an essential part of keeping your skin healthy.

How to Build a Skin Care Routine

Step 1: Determine Your Skin Type (And Needs)

The first step in building a skin care routine? Knowing your skin. Skin types can generally be split into four categories, each with unique needs.

Step 2: Learning About Other Skin Factors

Creating your customized routine doesn’t stop at knowing which of the four skin types you have. Other factors go into finding the perfect products and regimen for your skin. 

Step 3: Customize The Four Basic Steps of a Skin Care Routine

When creating your ideal skin care regimen, remember that most routines contain these four basic steps:

Cleanse by washing your face

Treat special concerns (hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, etc.)

Moisturize to hydrate and soften skin

Protect using sunscreen

Your skin type and factors will determine what products work best for each step. Certain skin types may benefit from additional steps like exfoliating. Some individuals may want to include things like serums for fine lines or pay special attention to the area around their eyes. We offer sample sizes so that individuals can test products and determine what works.

Step 4: Meet Your Match with Theoderma
