Skin Care Routines

In order to keep skin healthy, it’s a good idea to develop a regular routine for cleansing and protecting skin. Use these Web sites to learn what your skin needs, and what routine will serve it best.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Sometimes when you use a product for a long time, its effectiveness wears out. Consider revamping your routine to keep your skin looking its best. You can always return to your favorite products after a hiatus.
  • A good place to get hands-on advice about skin care is from the makeup counter at a department store. Sales people often offer free consultations; just be mindful that they will also try hard to send you home with pricey items. Find out which products work best for you, and then compare prices online. See this guide's “Skin Care Products” section.
  • If you do a simple search for “skin care routine” using a regular search engine you’ll find several products promising to make you younger, healthier, and more beautiful … for a price. Be wary of these products; research them carefully, and try to purchase only items that come with a satisfaction guarantee.
