Recommended Daily Skin Care Routine
A daily skin care routine, in conjunction with the home remedies listed above, will work wonders in making your skin lighter and also naturally glowing. Follow these tips:

1. Cleanse your face every day, once in the morning and once at night, using a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type.
2. Exfoliate using simple scrubs like the ones mentioned in this article twice or thrice a week.
3. Apply face packs and masks to thoroughly remove all impurities and dirt and also nourish your skin. Do not apply masks more than twice a week.
4. Use a soft towel to pat dry the skin on your face and neck.
5. A toner is a must in your skin care routine. It balances the skin’s pH and works as an astringent.
6. Always use a moisturizer that is right for your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin, opt for an oil-free and light moisturizer. For dry skin, use a moisturizer that will keep your skin hydrated all day long.
7. Sunscreen should never be skipped, not matter how sunny or how cloudy it is outside. Dermatologists recommend using sunscreens with a minimum SPF 20 to protect from photodamage.
8. Always remove all makeup before going to sleep.

Make these tips a part of your day-to-day skin care ritual, and we guarantee that your skin will become healthier in a matter of days.
