The perfect skincare routine for your skin type (1-6)
Effective skincare consists of several steps that should be optimally tailored to your skin. Health Routine offers a product range that supports you step by step.
1. Cleaning
Cleansing is the first and most important step in removing dirt, excess sebum, and makeup . Regular cleansing optimally prepares the skin for subsequent skincare products.
The use of the Skin Care Pen is particularly recommended for thorough cleansing of impure facial skin .
2. Toner
Toners remove any remaining residue and balance the skin's pH level .
3. Serum
These highly concentrated serums deliver essential nutrients and ingredients directly to the skin. Whether for anti-aging, a moisture boost, or to combat blemishes – here you'll find the right product for your individual needs.
4. Moisturizing care
A moisturizing cream completes any skincare routine and ensures that the skin is moisturized for a long time throughout the day.
5. Sun protection
Sunscreen is an essential part of daily skincare . Even though certain skin types – such as skin type 1 – tan relatively quickly, protection from UV rays remains essential for all skin types to prevent premature skin aging and damage.
