Home Skincare from the Basics - How Do I Get Started?

The First Steps: If you haven't really used anything on your skin yet, then this is for you. The skin always needs to get used to a product, especially if you're using some active ingredient. If you're a beginner, start with the basics as they'll provide a solid foundation and help you understand better how your skin reacts to cosmetics. This will be crucial later on!

1: Cleanser Throughout the day, a lot of impurities accumulate on our skin, not to mention makeup. If not removed by the end of the day, it can cause numerous problems:

• blackheads
• pimples
• oily skin
• rough, dull skin
• hindered skin breathing Therefore, in no way will the skin be healthy, so you'll definitely need a suitable cleanser for your skin type. Use it every evening to wash your face! If you feel it's very oily or inflamed, use it in the morning as well, so twice a day.

2: Moisturizer Unfortunately, the water content in our skin decreases with age, and surface dehydration is often observed (rarely not) even in teenagers. Many believe that oily skin doesn't need hydration, but this is a misconception: no matter what skin type you have, you'll need a moisturizer. At this point, it's important to consider the texture: fluid moisturizers are good for oily skin, gel ones for normal, dehydrated skin, and creamier/oilier ones for dry skin.

3: Sunscreen You know that harmful rays don't just reach us when the sun shines, right? UV radiation is present even when it's cloudy, in winter, or fall. That's why it's crucial to protect our skin from harmful rays. Therefore, as the last step, you'll need a good sunscreen. Its usage matters, as it's not enough to apply it once a day since it can lose its effectiveness. Reapplication every 2-3 hours is recommended. You can reapply with the same product you used in the morning or opt for a stick or spray, but consistency is key. Also, the amount matters: always apply about two finger-widths (1.25 ml) for maximum protection.

Patience Don't rush to buy everything at once because unfortunately, that won't lead to anything good. Now you have a great and solid routine, and all you need to do is be patient. Use only these products for at least a month, then you can introduce even better active ingredients. Don't know what your skin type is? You can find us on our official Instagram page @erenorcosmetics.
