What products do you need for a good skincare routine?

Do you already have a good skincare routine? Do you use the right products and the right step-by-step plan or do you actually have no idea what you are doing? If the latter applies to you, then you have now found the right blog! Today we are going to talk about the various products you can use for an optimal skincare routine. So quickly read our blog, order the products and follow the steps so that you too can enjoy healthy and glowing skin.

Step 1: make sure your skin is clean with the right cleanser

To get off to a good start and achieve even skin, you should of course start by cleansing your skin. It is important that you use the right cleanser and fortunately we can help with this. In our range, you will find different types of cleansers that cleanse your skin properly and deeply without the risk of irritation. Highly recommended and one of our simplest cleansers is the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. Another highly recommended one from the well-known brand Fair & White is the Fair & White Cleanser Lotion So White.

Cleansing your face with the above products is the foundation for the rest of your skincare routine. It is therefore hugely important that you always start by cleansing your face properly. This is because it helps remove make-up residues, dirt and excess oils.

Step 2: calm and soothe your skin with the right toner

After you have properly and carefully cleansed your skin, it is time to smooth and soften your skin. A toner has various ingredients that repair your skin and make it smoother and fresher. It is important to choose the right toner. In fact, toners can only be for certain skin types.

Once you have chosen the right toner, apply it to your skin. With the right toner, you can feel and see the difference almost immediately. As with the cleanser, we have several toners from the Fair & White brand. A popular choice is the Fair & White Anti-Blemish Face Duo. Another popular toner is Makari's. Choose the Makari Exclusive Toning Face Gel Duo.

Step 3: Choose an exfoliant or peel for extra hydration

Do you often suffer from dry skin? Then choose to use an exfoliant or peel several times a week. Exfoliants help get rid of impurities and add extra hydration to the skin. This gives your skin a softer look and feel and gives it a chance to get more moisture in.

There are several types of exfoliators from different brands. Yet at A&F Cosmetics, we only choose the best and these remain the Makari and Fair & White brands. Some popular exfoliators are the Fair & White Sugar Exfoliator For Face Gold and the Makari Pure Radiance Exfoliating Sugar Scrub.

Step 4: time to add a serum

Your skin is completely cleansed and clean? Check! Now it's time to address any skin concerns with the right serum. Serums are bottles of various purposes, but they are all highly activating cosmetics products that help with dry skin. If you don't know what to start with, we recommend starting with the Dr Rashel Brightening & Anti Aging Vitamin C Serum or the Fair & White Brightening Serum.

Step 5: eye cream for extra vitality

The skin around your eyes is very thin. It is therefore one of the first places where you start to see ageing, wrinkles and fatigue. Fortunately, there are several products that help against this. By using the right eye cream or eye drops several times a week, you will smooth and hydrate the skin around your eyes.

This reduces wrinkles and helps against ageing skin. Highly recommended is the Makari Retinol Control Line Smoothing Eye Cream. This eye cream helps boost collagen production, resulting in fewer wrinkles and rejuvenated skin. The other recommended product is the Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Blend Vitamin C Under Eye Gel Drops.

Step 6: Choose the right moisturiser for a natural glow

We have talked about moisturising several times in this blog. Your skin needs a lot of hydration and the best way to manage this is with the right moisturiser. You can find various types of moisturisers. Often, a moisturizer is used in the form of a day cream or night cream. Ideal to start or end your day with. Our favourites are the Fair & White Anti-Aging Hydra Lift Cream Gold and the Makari Caviar Enriched Soap Trio.

Step 7: use SPF and protect your skin from UV rays

The final step in your skincare routine is to use SPF, or sunscreen. The sun can do immense damage to your skin. If you do not protect your skin from UV radiation, the other steps in your skincare routine will be of little use. We therefore always recommend using an SPF product before going outside. For example, we regularly use the Cetaphil Daily Defence Moisturiser SPF 50+ and the Naturalle Multi-Action Extreme 3-pc set.
