Good skin is not about a 12-step routine. It is about doing a few simple things consistently. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the skincare aisle, this is the only routine you need to get started.

The three-step morning routine

Keep it short enough that you will actually do it every day:

• Cleanse. A gentle face wash removes overnight oil and sweat without stripping your skin.
• Moisturise. Even oily skin needs hydration. A lightweight moisturiser keeps your skin balanced.
• Protect. Sunscreen is the single most effective anti-ageing step you can take. Use SPF 30 or higher every morning.

At night, keep it even simpler

Cleanse to remove the day, then moisturise. That is it. Once this becomes automatic, you can add a targeted product if you have a specific concern.

Consistency beats intensity

The best routine is the one you repeat. Taking a daily selfie and tracking your skin score in DayFace gives you a gentle nudge to show up and a way to see your progress over the weeks, not just guess at it.
