These are the basics, like the ones you would take with you on vacation or a week end away. Start with a facial cleanser (NO SOAP). Next, try an exfoliating scrub or mask (not necessarily every day), followed by a rich moisturizer and maybe a special eye cream for dark circles or crow’s feet. In the morning, don’t forget sun block. If you buy a sun block that includes tint and moisturizer, you’ll have a good, time-saving combination.
Try to cleanse twice a day - not much more as water isn’t all that good for your skin - water can actually dry it out. The nightly routine is important as your skin goes into repair and build mode while you sleep and you really want to get rid of the days accumulation of environmental assault. If you’re afraid you’ll be too tired at bed time to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize - do it an hour or two before going to bed. You can get your routine down to a couple of minutes. If you are always in a hurry in the morning, get up ten minutes earlier so you can work in time to take care of your skin. It will say “thank you”.
