Happy New Year, lovelies!
As we welcome a new year, it's time to get back to basics and focus on building a solid skincare routine. This month, we'll be diving into the fundamentals of skincare and sharing tips on how to create a simple yet effective skincare routine.
Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize
The golden rule of skincare is to cleanse, tone, and moisturize.
Here's why:
- Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin, preparing it for further products.
- Toning balances the skin's pH and tightens pores.
- Moisturizing hydrates and protects the skin.
Try these products:
- Moisturizer: APLB Glutathione Niacin-amide Facial moisturizer cream (hydrates and plumps the skin)
Exfoliate Wisely
Exfoliating is an essential step in any skincare routine. It removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and improves skin texture.
- Use a gentle exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) 1-2 times a week.
- Exfoliate in circular motions, focusing on areas like the T-zone.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Drinking plenty of water is essential for healthy, glowing skin.
Here's why:

- It keeps the skin hydrated and plump.
- It improves skin elasticity and firmness.
Try these tips:
- Drink at least 8 cups (64 oz) of water per day.
- Eat hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and celery.
- Avoid sugary drinks and caffeine that can dehydrate the skin.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Sun protection is crucial for preventing premature aging, dark spots, and skin cancer.
