Skincare for Beginners: How to Create Your Everyday Skincare Routine

June 27, 2024

Starting a skincare journey can be both exciting and a bit confusing, especially for beginners. With a variety of products and advice available, it’s important to establish a simple yet effective routine.

The key is to focus on the essentials: cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. Learn more about these steps through this article and begin your path to healthy, glowing skin with everyday skincare products available at SM Store, Your Everyday Store.

Cleansing

The foundation of any skincare routine is a good cleanser. Cleansing helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. For beginners, start with a gentle cleanser like this one from COSRX. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, you can find a variety of cleansers when you shop in-store!

Toning

Now that your skin is nice and clean, it’s time to tone! Toners help balance the skin’s pH levels, remove any remaining impurities, and prep your skin for the next steps. Look for toners that are alcohol-free and packed with soothing ingredients just like this K-beauty favorite from Round Lab. At SM Beauty, we’ve got toners that cater to every skin concern, making it easy to find the perfect one for your everyday routine. Contact your SM Store Personal Shopper to help you shop for the perfect toner!

Moisturizing

Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for everyone, regardless of your skin type. A good moisturizer keeps your skin soft and smooth by locking in moisture. Make sure to choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. For oily skin, try lightweight gels like Face Republic’s Cica Gel Moisturizer. If you have dry to normal skin, try a nourishing day cream like the Olay Total Effects Day Cream.

Sun Protection

Don’t skip the SPF! Applying sunscreen daily—rain or shine— helps defend against harmful UV rays that can cause premature aging. Also consider our constant exposure to blue light from gadgets—daily sunscreen is definitely a must. Choose a sunscreen that suits your lifestyle and skin type. For a soft dewy finish, try the Belo Dewy Essence Sunscreen with SPF50 PA++++. For a matte finish, try the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen.
