The basic skin care steps are make-up removal, cleansing, treatments for skin concerns, skin hydration, skin moisturization and sun protection.

The morning skin care routine can include any of these, excluding make-up removal, and the evening skin care routine can include any of these, excluding sunscreen.

A skin care routine starts with cleansing and ends with a moisturizer or sunscreen, but you can put the other steps in the order you want. It is often recommended to apply these from lightest to thickest consistency.
