A Simple 3-Step Skincare Routine for Beginners

ELVY Lab three-step skincare starter kit

Skincare does not have to be complicated. A consistent three-step routine can cover the basics without turning your bathroom shelf into a chemistry lab.

Step 1: Cleanse

Start with a cleanser that removes surface oil, sunscreen, makeup, and everyday buildup without leaving your skin feeling stripped. Use lukewarm water and follow the product directions.

Step 2: Apply a serum

Serums are lightweight products that fit between cleansing and moisturising. Choose one based on what you want from your routine, such as hydration or a brighter-looking complexion.

Step 3: Moisturise

Finish with a moisturiser to help keep skin feeling comfortable and hydrated. In the daytime, add a sunscreen appropriate for your skin and follow its directions.

Make consistency the goal

The most useful routine is one you can repeat. Start with the basics, use products as directed, and introduce changes gradually.
