A basic tenet of healthy cleansing is double cleansing. Start by removing oil-based makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum with an oil cleanser. (Don’t be afraid — remember, oil balances oil!) Just massage the oil onto dry skin, then wet your hands and massage some more to emulsify the oil and cleanse away the day!

For anti-aging, keeping your skin cleansed but not stripped of it's essential oils is vital. A low pH cleanser will help you do that. Proper cleansing will allow your anti-aging serums and moisturizers to give you the maximum benefits.

An essence, serum, or ampoule is where you typically get the highest concentration of skin treating ingredients, and it’s considered an indispensable step for really effecting change in your skin. For anti-aging, we like antioxidants and snail mucin to really fight skin-damaging free radicals and wrinkles.

A good moisturizer not only softens your skin, blurs fine lines, and provides a protective barrier, it can help treat a number of skin issues with the right formulation. For anti-aging, look for ingredients like ceramides and liposomes to really target the signs of aging.

No skincare routine is complete without a good sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 (but preferably higher) that also protects from UVA and UVB rays, especially if you’re looking to prevent premature aging. Look for one that has SPF of 50 to really protect against sun damage and wrinkles.
