Get started with taking care of your skin with just three products! No worries if you're unsure about what you need. Here's a guide aimed specifically at you who want a super simple skincare routine.

The absolute minimum you need is

1 – a cleanser to keep your skin clean and clear.

2 – a year-round sunscreen that prevents the formation of wrinkles and age spots.

3 – a moisturizing cream that keeps your skin soft and supple.

For all skin types

This skincare routine is for you who don't know what skin type you have, have combination skin, or sensitive skin that acts up.

Cleanse with a balancing cleansing milk

i+m's Freestyle facial cleanser is so popular because it does a great job regardless of what skin type you have. It's balancing and therefore suits both dry and oily skin. It manages to wash away makeup and doesn't irritate either acne-prone or sensitive skin.

i+m Freestyle Cleansing Milk is available for purchase.

Protect your face year-round against UVA and UVB rays

Apply sunscreen to your face every morning (preferably on damp skin) so you avoid deep wrinkles and brown pigment spots in later years. Dr. Sannas sunscreen doesn't feel sticky and works well under makeup. It suits all skin types and doesn't irritate sensitive skin.

Moisturize your face with a balancing face cream

For you with oily skin

Do you have oily or shiny skin at the end of the day? Then you should use skincare products that over time reduce the overproduction of sebum (natural skin oil).

Wash your face without drying it out

The tricky thing about oily skin is that you want to wash away all the excess oil without drying out your skin. Otherwise, your skin will produce even more sebum to lubricate the dried-out skin. That's why cleansing is an incredibly important step and forms the foundation of a good skincare routine. The Tea Tree cleanser from Odylique is soothing, antiseptic, and antibacterial. Best of all, it normalizes sebum production while cleansing oily skin thoroughly without being drying.Designed to also suit sensitive skin types.

Odylique Lemon Tea Tree Facial Wash is available for purchase.

Use UV protection that doesn't feel sticky

All skin types need UV protection to keep skin in youthful condition, meaning firm, wrinkle-free, and without brown sun spots. If you have oily skin, you need to choose a sunscreen that absorbs easily and doesn't feel greasy after application. Dr. Sannas sunscreen is easily absorbed by the skin and also contains probiotics that boost the skin's beneficial microflora. Once on the skin, it provides a non-sticky and almost matte result.

Dr. Sannas Sunscreen SPF30 is an excellent sun protection for your skin.

Apply a face cream that regulates sebum production

Phyto Balance face cream keeps sebum production in check. It tightens pores and provides moisture to the skin. Perfect if you have oily skin with large or clogged pores.

i+m Balance Balancing Cream is available for purchase.

For you with dry skin

This skincare routine suits you who have dry skin for various reasons. It could be daily exposure to dry indoor environments or aging skin that naturally produces less sebum. Your skin feels tight after showering and looks dull and lifeless in the evening.

Cleanse your face with something that doesn't foam

Avoid foam and cleanse your face with milk or oil to restore radiance and softness. A nourishing cleanser is also so much better at dissolving oil and dirt. Evolves cleansing melt is a rich gel that transforms into a soft milk when in contact with water and rinses off easily. Pat dry with a damp cloth to remove any remaining traces of dirt.

Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt

Use sunscreen that gives radiance to your skin

Dry skin that already feels wrinkled really needs extra protection against UVA rays which cause skin to age faster. Biosolis sunscreen SPF 30 isn't greasy, but is nourishing and feels wonderful on dry skin. If you have extra dry skin, it's fine to use face cream under your sunscreen.

Apply a face cream that keeps your skin supple for a long time

Greasy and oily creams rarely work alone in a simple skincare routine for dry skin. They need to be combined with serums or lighter creams to work well. In a skincare routine with so few products, you need a face cream that provides both plenty of moisture and nourishment, so that skin stays soft for a long time without becoming clogged. Evolves face cream is exactly that!

Evolve Daily Renew Facial Cream is available for purchase.

Expand your skincare routine

With a good basic routine, your skin will stay in great condition for a long time. If you want more and faster results or have specific skin problems, you need to add more steps to your skincare routine. You simply build on your basic routine with more products like toner, serum, face mask, exfoliation, etc.
