Healthy-looking skin does not need a 12-step routine. In fact, a few simple habits, done every day, often matter most. In this guide, we share an easy skin care routine and explain how it pairs with treatments at Allure.
Morning Skin Care Routine
- Cleanse: use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
- Moisturize: choose a moisturizer that fits your skin type.
- Protect: finish with sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
Why Sunscreen Is the Most Important Step
Sun exposure is a major cause of early wrinkles and dark spots. For that reason, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends a sunscreen that is broad-spectrum, SPF 30 or higher and water-resistant. Also, reapply it when you are outdoors for a long time.
Evening Skin Care Routine
- Remove makeup and sunscreen: cleanse well before bed.
- Treat: if you use a product such as a retinoid, apply it as directed.
- Moisturize: help your skin stay soft overnight.
Start new products one at a time, so you can tell what works and what irritates your skin.
Habits That Show Up on Your Skin
Your daily habits matter too. For example, good sleep, enough water, a balanced diet and not smoking all support healthier-looking skin. Similarly, managing stress can help, since stress often affects sleep and habits.
Pairing Your Routine With Treatments
A good routine is the base, while treatments can add a boost. At Allure, options include Botox for expression lines, Neveskin facials and the Inner Beauty drip on our IV Therapy menu, which includes biotin, B-Complex and vitamin C. Your provider can help you decide what fits your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need sunscreen indoors?
If you sit near windows or spend time outside, sunscreen is still a smart daily habit.
How long until I see results from a new routine?
It often takes several weeks, so give a new routine time before you judge it.
