The benefits of doing a skincare routine every day are endless. You get to have clean, fresh, and hydrated skin, and all that begins with a consistent routine. I believe that a simple skincare routine is key, a routine that includes one or two products as well as a nice moisturizer and sunscreen. 

But if having a skincare routine is so easy and simple, then why do so many people not have one and avoid it every day? That’s because it just simply not part of their routine yet. Like habits, making a skincare routine as part of your routine requires consistency as well as repetition. 

So, what are the benefits of having a daily skincare routine?

1. You get to start and finish your day with clean skin

A good skincare routine starts with washing your face with a nice and gentle cleanser. Washing your face at night and in the morning will wash off all the dead skin cells as well as oils that are bad for your skin and that can clog your pores. Washing your face in the evening will also remove toxins and pollutants that are super damaging to your skin. It’s also great to do a double cleanse in the evening, one wash will remove all your makeup and the other wash will actually clean the skin

2. Hydration = youthful skin

Having hydrated skin is extremely important. Not only hydrated skin looks good but it also feels great and having hydrated skin also means that your skin is healthy. The healthier your skin is, the fewer signs of aging you will see. And we all want to slow down the aging process.  Even though your skin has its ways to moisturize itself, we still lose alot of moisture naturally during the day.  Using good skincare products can keep your skin hydrated, so that is why having a skincare routine is important.

3. Achieve improved skin tone

Pollution is very bad for your skin and its complexion. The dryness that comes from pollution does not only causes damage to the skin but also can make the skin look uneven and very discolored. This can happen to your skin a little bit every day, so hydrating your skin every day is a must.  If you already have nice skin then daily maintenance can prevent those patches and spots. 

4. Slow the signs of aging

Every single face can tell a story and that is something that is worth celebrating. You should always have a say in what story your skin tells. And having a good skincare routine can give you l control over what your  face says to the rest of the world. The hydrating power of a nice moisturizer can help your skin stay looking firm, elastic, and supple. Having hydrated skin means smoother skin with fewer lines.

​​5. Achieve a grounded state through the daily ritual

One benefit of having a daily skincare routine is that it helps you establish a ritual to begin and end your days with. Having a routine is important because a good routine can make you feel better about yourself. Taking the time out of your day to do something positive for yourself will only put your best foot forward.
