Start simple. Add slowly.
- Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin and avoid aggressive scrubbing.
- Hydrate or treat: Introduce one new toner, essence, or serum at a time so you can notice how your skin responds.
- Moisturize: Choose a moisturizer that supports comfort and helps reduce moisture loss.
- Protect: Use sun protection as directed and reapply when appropriate.
Patch testing
Follow the product maker’s directions. When no patch-test method is provided, try a small amount on a limited area and wait before broader use. Do not apply to broken or actively irritated skin unless the label specifically directs it. If you have persistent or severe concerns, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
These steps are general cosmetic-use guidance, not a diagnosis or treatment plan.
