Include a Serum 

It’s no secret that the most basic of skincare routines should include some type of cleanser as well as a toner and moisturizer. If you’re looking to add additional moisture or vitamins to your skin, it can be beneficial to include a serum. Serums serve a multitiude of purposes, including hydrating, firming, clearing acne and imperfections, and reversing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that have formed as a result of aging. Incorporating a serum into your regimen to use after cleansing and before moisturizing can help take your skin to the next level. 

Stop Using Wipes

One of the most common mistakes that many people make when it comes to skincare is the use of single-use wipes to remove makeup instead of a cleanser. While these wipes are convenient and can help to ensure that makeup comes entirely off of the face, these wipes are packed with ingredients that can actually have negative effects on the skin and speed up the aging process. Instead of using makeup remover wipes, try using a cleansing balm or oil and a damp washcloth. 

Wear SPF 

If you only wear SPF sunscreen in the summer or when spending a prolonged period of time in the sun, you are likely unknowingly allowing your skin to suffer from being exposed to the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. Wearing SPF every day can protect your skin and is the number one thing that can slow and drastically reduce the effects of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
