Step-by-Step Routine on How to Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturise

What is a good skincare routine?

In trying to figure out the right way to go about your beauty routine, questions like, ‘should you actually tone your face?’ and ‘in what order should you moisturise your face?’ are likely to arise. For an effective beauty routine, it’s essential to use the right application techniques and products to get results. To guide you on the methods and products you can use for an effective routine, here’s a step-by-step guide to help ensure you’re cleansing, toning and moisturising the right way to achieve healthier-looking, even-toned skin.

Step 1 - Cleansing

Cleansing is such an important first step for an effective skin care routine as throughout the day, dirt, germs and old skin cells can accumulate on the surface of your skin. These impurities can clog your pores, cause blemishes that can leave dark marks, and dull your skin’s natural radiance. So washing your face with a good cleanser will enable you to wash away this dullness-causing dirt, helping to reveal glowing, even-toned skin.

Here are our tips to cleanse your skin:

• Product - We recommend you use an effective cleanser like the Pond’s Perfect Colour Complex Anti Marks Face Wash Serum with Vitamin B3+. It’s clinically proven to fade dark marks and cleanses and refreshes skin to leave it radiant and even-toned.
• Application - When applying your cleanser, it’s best to use your hands as that makes it easier to control the pressure you’re applying, so you can avoid irritating your skin. It’s also easier to ensure your hands are clean so as not to transfer germs to your skin, than it is with a brush or cloth.

*Tip: Use lukewarm water – Cleansing with hot water can be harsh on your skin so use lukewarm water instead to avoid skin irritation.

Step 2 - Toning

Toning is the next step to an effective even skin tone routine. Toners help to reinforce your cleanse by removing traces of dirt your cleanser may have missed. They also help to refine pores and rebalance your skin’s pH levels, which is essential for maintaining healthy-looking skin. Toners also enable your other skincare products to be fully absorbed into your skin, enhancing the efficacy of the other products in your routine.

To tone your skin:

• Product - Use our gentle and effective Pond’s Perfect Colour Complex Anti Marks Facial Toner. With a 100% natural moisturiser and Vitamin B3 and E nutrients, it will help to rebalance your skin, revealing smooth, even-toned skin.
• Application - Apply the toner using a cotton pad, sweeping the pad over your face and neck and avoiding the delicate area around your eyes.

Step 3 - Moisturising

Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for promoting healthy-looking, even-toned skin and keeping dry skin at bay. Moisturising at the end of your routine is an excellent way to replenish and hydrate skin.

To moisturise your skin:

• Product – We recommend moisturising with the Pond’s Perfect Colour Complex Anti-Marks Serum Face Cream. It’s formulated with advanced Vitamin B3+ serum with a patented active that, with continued daily use, is clinically proven to fade dark marks for radiant, more visibly even-toned skin.
• Application - After toning, using your fingertips, massage a pea-sized amount of the face cream evenly over your skin, using gentle circular movements until it’s completely absorbed.

With the Pond’s range, getting skin that looks and feels amazing is made simple. So explore the Pond’s range and follow our tips to cleanse, tone and moisturise your way to radiant, smooth, even tone skin.

*In incorporating any new face care product into your regime, it is suggested that you do a patch test behind your ear for at least 24 hours. If any irritation occurs, do not start using the product.
