Daily Skincare Routines - Tips & Guides

The Exact Regimen You Should Be Following for Your Skin Type

We consider ourselves quite the skincare fanatics here at Byrdie HQ—it’s hard not to be when our desks look like they could be featured in an episode of Hoarders: Skincare Edition (currently in the process of pitching that idea to A&E). However, we are well aware that our plight is a unique one and that the average woman is more concerned about what to use on her face rather than where to store her eighth cleanser of the week.

Thus, we present to you our guide to a daily skincare routine for every skin type. With the expertise of skin guru and esthetician Renée Rouleau, we’ve put together the exact types of products (plus our best product picks, of course!) you should be looking for based on your particular skin type.

Your skin can be classified as normal if it isn’t particularly oily or dry, and if anti-aging, acne, and sensitivity aren’t concerns on your radar—in other words, the skin type all of us wish we had. This is the best skincare routine for normal skin.

Your Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Skin Care Routines

We bet it’s safe to say that you have a pretty jam-packed schedule, right? And to keep track of all the non-stop activities you’ve committed yourself to—from hitting the gym to important work meetings to happy hour with friends—you probably have a calendar on hand that you update whenever you’ve tacked something new onto your to-do list. Well, why not apply that same tactic to your skin care routine, creating a schedule for your skin. When it comes to a gorgeous, glowing complexion, there are quite a few steps you can (and probably should) include in your skin care regimen—but not all of them need to be done on a daily basis or at the same time every day.

With so much to keep track of, we’re here to help you stay organized in order to create the very best skin care routine(s) for you. Consider the following your skin care routine checklist, chock full of skin care products—facial cleansers, facial moisturizers, eye creams, face masks, self-tanners, and more—not to mention, tips for using each of them. Whether you want to brighten the appearance of your skin with a charcoal mask or reduce the appearance of fine lines or dark circles with the help of an eye cream, we’ve got you covered.

YOUR TWICE DAILY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

There are some things that never change, and that includes the twice per day essential steps in your skin care routine. These are mainstays for a reason!

Your Daily Skincare Routine

Sure, we all know a quick and balanced daily skincare routine is a good idea. But, with so many lotions, creams, and tips out there, it’s hard to know where to start! Plus, time is of the essence - no one wants to spend hours in the bathroom. Well, we’ve got you sorted! From why we should use a toner, to tips on how to streamline your routine (three-minutes? Yes please!). Here’s everything you need to know on the skincare basics so your skin will be cleansed, feel refreshed and prepared for each morning, and cared for each night.

After all, each of us has different skin types, tones, textures, concerns, and goals. One person may look for a facial moisturizer to help stave off fine lines, while another needs to use one that boosts hydration.

Does it really matter when and in what order you apply your skin care products? We asked because we never felt the need to worry about the order in which we eat our food. (After all, don’t we absorb the same amount of sugar in sweets even if we eat them last?) So we asked the skin experts the same question we ask ourselves every time we buy a new skin care product or add another step to our routine: In what order should I apply my skin care products and does it matter?
