Here’s How You Can Create the Perfect Skin-Care Routine

Use a gentle cleanser twice a day

A gentle, water-soluble cleanser removes debris, oil, and most makeup without stripping your skin and disrupting its all-important protective barrier. Do not use bar soap; it’s too drying, dulls skin, and can clog pores. When you gently clean your face morning and evening, it allows the other products you use to work even better. You’ll have less dryness and even fewer breakouts (research has shown that being gentle on skin benefits all skin types). Keep in mind that it may take some experimentation to discover which products and frequency of application work best for you. Be patient, it can be easier than you think—and the results are worth it. Just take care to avoid these common face washing mistakes that could sabotage your efforts.

Paula recommends: Olay Gentle Clean Foaming Cleanser ($5.99), Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser Creamy Formula ($8.99), or Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild ($17.50).
