Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt makeup, sunscreen, and dirt. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to leave your skin completely clean without stripping.
Use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid and a nourishing moisturizer to plump and smooth the skin before makeup.
Exfoliate 1–2 times a week using chemical exfoliants like lactic acid or polyhydroxy acids (PHA). Skip harsh scrubs.
Use a lightweight, non-greasy SPF daily — and make sure it's makeup-compatible.
Opt for makeup with skincare benefits — like BB creams, foundations with SPF, or concealers with hydrating ingredients.
Hydrating or brightening masks once or twice a week can reset your skin after long makeup days.
Wash brushes and sponges weekly to avoid bacteria buildup that leads to breakouts and dullness.
