To maintain healthy, clear, and glowing skin, follow these basic steps consistently:

Cleanse: Wash your face twice daily (morning and night) with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Treat (Optional but Recommended): Apply a serum targeting your specific concerns (e.g., Vitamin C for brightness, salicylic acid for acne, hyaluronic acid for hydration).
Moisturize: Hydrate your skin morning and night with a suitable moisturizer to support its barrier function.
Protect: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, even on cloudy days, to prevent sun damage.
