Skincare Routine for Beginners
The first thing that attracts the attention of others is your face. Your face is not just your business card; it can also reveal a lot about you. For example, your facial skin can indicate how well you take care of yourself and whether you maintain a healthy diet. With the right skincare, you can give your skin a special radiance.
Every day, your skin is exposed to countless influences that can harm it. Unlike other parts of your body covered with clothing, your face is exposed and vulnerable to all these factors. Therefore, it is essential to care for your facial skin and support it in resisting these influences. Ideally, your skincare routine consists of three steps:
- Clean
- Exfoliate
- Maintain
How does cleansing work in your skincare routine?
The first essential step that your daily skincare routine should include is a thorough yet gentle cleansing. This not only removes any makeup you may be wearing but also washes away dirt particles that may have settled on your face throughout the day. It also clears your skin of excess sebum that could clog your pores.
Only when you have thoroughly cleansed your face can the products you apply afterward unleash their full effectiveness. It is crucial to be gentle during this process; otherwise, you may strain your skin, leading to potential irritation.
When should you incorporate exfoliation into your skincare?
You should regularly but not daily use exfoliation. This step is important to rid your skin of dead skin cells, which, if left untreated, can contribute to a dull complexion, clogged pores, and skin blemishes. Even if blemishes have already appeared, exfoliation can help eliminate them more quickly. The result is a refreshed, radiant, and clear complexion.
If your skin is currently very sensitive or highly irritated, consider avoiding exfoliation for the time being or opt for particularly mild products. The small particles rubbing against your skin during exfoliation may potentially cause additional irritation.
What is the ideal nourishment in your skincare routine?
Having cleansed your skin thoroughly and gently removed dead skin cells, it is now perfectly prepared to absorb the valuable ingredients of your skincare products. The products you should use depend on your skin type. For example, if your skin is very dry, you should use different creams than for oily skin.
Creamy lotions work best for normal and dry skin, providing them with sufficient moisture. On the other hand, combination and oily skin benefit from a light, liquid product that does not clog pores.
You will quickly notice an improvement in your skin's appearance once you have chosen products that match your skin type. It's important to give your skin enough time to adjust to the new skincare routine. Wait at least two weeks before considering any further adjustments to your routine.
However, not only your skin type plays a crucial role in choosing the right skincare products. The season should not be overlooked either. While the basic needs of your skin usually remain the same, some minor adjustments may be necessary.
For example, your skin may need extra care in winter when exposed to dry indoor heating air. In summer, when you sweat more often, a lighter skincare routine than usual may be required.
The appropriate care for the individual needs of your skin

It reduces the uncomfortable feeling of tightness and itching symptoms while stabilizing your skin's barrier function, protecting it from harmful external influences.
For dry to very dry skin, our NCR®-NutrientCream is the perfect choice. It stabilizes lipid and moisture levels, providing intense care even for irritated and flaky skin. Alternatively, if you are a polyallergic individual with dry to very dry skin, you can opt for the CC®-CoolingCream. Both products prevent further dehydration of the skin.
