The Basics of Building an At-Home Skincare Routine

Published by Aubrey Sohaney

Building an at-home skincare routine can help you achieve healthy, glowing skin that sets you up for future success. If you aren’t happy with what you see in the mirror when it comes to your skin, the good news is that you can do something to change it! If you’re just starting to care for your skin, you’ll quickly realize how many options there are on the market. Thankfully, our medical spa in Naperville is here to provide sound advice for those who want to start caring for their skin. Here are some of our tips.

Three Main Steps

The goal of your skincare routine is simple: help your skin look and feel its best. You’ll want to target areas that you want to work on. Simply put, your skincare routine should consist of cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

  • Cleansing: Wash away built-up dirt, debris and makeup that accumulates on your face. You should aim to wash your face at least twice a day to keep acne, dry skin and dullness at bay.
  • Toning: This step helps balance out the skin tone and complexion. Think of toners as a shot of extra nutrients to help your skin thrive. Toners should be used after you clean your face but before putting on other skincare products.
  • Moisturizing: Help keep your skin hydrated and soft through a good moisturizer. If possible, choose a moisturizer that contains SPF as well. This will help you combine multiple steps in your routine.

The One Step You Can’t Miss

Our medical spa in Naperville wants you to take away this one thing from this article: don’t forget sunscreen! Even if you don’t have a solid skincare routine outside of daily sunscreen, this is the one step that you shouldn’t miss. Sunscreen can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles from developing.

If you’re hoping to learn more about developing a skincare routine or you want to schedule an appointment, please get in touch with our medical spa in Naperville today!

First time here & I will definitely be back! Allison did my Botox. She was honest when I asked her what areas she thought botox would be best for me & explained the whole process. I have received botox at other cosmetic centers & this was by far the best experience!
