A guide to basic skincare steps for beginners

Skincare is an important part of maintaining beauty and health. Healthy skin not only makes you more confident but also prevents skin problems that may arise in the future.

For beginners, choosing and correctly carrying out the basic skincare steps is extremely important. So in today’s article, Sắc Ngọc Khang will guide you in detail through the basic skincare steps for beginners, to help you achieve healthy, radiant skin.

The benefits of doing the basic skincare steps

Skincare is surely no longer a strange topic to any of us these days, especially for women. Owning beautiful, healthy, smooth and glowing skin helps women feel more confident in daily communication. Besides, proper skincare also helps maintain the protective barrier, thereby keeping the skin healthy and avoiding problems such as dry skin, dermatitis and other skin conditions.

Skin aging is an inevitable natural process, but you can slow it down with proper skincare. Using skincare products containing antioxidants, vitamin C, retinol and sunscreen can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and loss of skin elasticity.

That is why each step in the basic skincare routine Sắc Ngọc Khang is about to guide you through plays its own role, contributing significantly to improving your skin.

Understanding your own skin type

To care for your skin effectively, the first important thing is to clearly understand your skin type. Each skin type has its own characteristics and needs different products and care routines. Below are the common skin types and how to identify yours.

Oily skin: The skin is always shiny and greasy, especially in the T-zone. Pores are large and easily visible. This skin type is also prone to blackheads, whiteheads and acne.

Dry skin: The skin always feels tight and dry after washing. It is prone to flaking and cracking, but the pores are small and it rarely breaks out.

Combination skin: A combination of oily and dry skin. It is usually oily in the T-zone, while the cheeks and chin are normal or dry.

Sensitive skin: The skin is prone to redness, irritation, itching, stinging and dryness. It reacts quickly whenever it comes into contact with new skincare products, weather, temperature, or other environmental factors.

The basic skincare steps

Daytime skincare routine

Daytime skincare focuses on protecting the skin from harmful environmental agents such as UV rays, pollution and dust. Therefore the routine is simpler and has fewer steps than nighttime skincare.

Step 1: Wash and cleanse the skin

Step 2: Use toner

Step 3: Use serum

Step 4: Moisturize the skin

Step 5: Use sunscreen

Nighttime skincare routine

Nighttime skincare focuses on regenerating and repairing the skin after a day exposed to the outside environment. This is the time for the skin to rest and absorb nutrients best. Below are the basic nighttime skincare steps:

Step 1: Remove makeup

Step 2: Cleanse the skin

Step 3: Use toner

Step 4: Use serum

Step 5: Moisturize

Step 6: Eye cream

Step 7: Apply a nourishing face mask (1 – 2 times/week)

Details on the role of the daily skincare steps

Makeup removal

Makeup removal is an important step in the daily skincare routine, helping remove all makeup, dirt and excess oil that accumulate on the skin after a long day. Removing makeup regularly and properly helps prevent acne and reduce clogged pores caused by cosmetic and dirt buildup. It is also a necessary step to ensure the skin is deeply cleansed and ready for the next skincare steps.

On the market today there are many types of makeup-removing products suited to different needs and skin types. The most common are micellar water, cleansing oil and cleansing balm. Of these, the most familiar and easiest to use for beginners is perhaps the micellar water products.

So you don’t have to fret over choosing a suitable product, Sắc Ngọc Khang Makeup Remover, with its commitment to suit all skin types, will be an outstanding choice for you. Standing out with breakthrough Micellar cleansing technology combined with 5 precious herbs: Japanese Cherry Blossom, French Rose, Licorice Root, Sunflower, and Coffee. The product gently lifts away dirt, excess oil and makeup residue for deeply clean, clear skin without tightness, while helping to support acne prevention and brighten the skin.

Facial cleanser

After makeup removal, facial cleanser is an equally important step in the daily skincare routine. This step helps completely remove dirt, excess oil and impurities remaining on the skin. Washing away the makeup-removal layer helps the skin stay clear and clean. Not only that, cleansing the skin first also helps the subsequent skincare steps work more effectively.

Understanding this, Sắc Ngọc Khang researched and launched the Herbal Facial Cleanser containing the exclusive SNK-White Complex. The product will excel at:

Gently cleansing, “freeing” the skin from dirt, bacteria and sebum

Maintaining the ideal pH without drying the skin

Nourishing bright, smooth skin, preventing uneven tone and darkening

Safe, gentle and friendly to all skin types

Accordingly, SNK-White is the perfect combination of 6 natural herbs, acting on all 5 different mechanisms in the brightening process. This delivers optimal cleansing results, achieving bright, healthy, smooth skin and helping prevent dark spots and uneven tone thanks to “premium-grade” ingredients.

Toner

Toner (rose water) is a necessary step in the skincare routine, especially after cleansing the skin with cleanser and makeup remover. Because after washing the face, the skin can often lose its natural pH due to the use of water and cleansing products. Toner helps restore the skin’s pH, bringing it back to a balanced state and reducing the risk of dryness and irritation.

It is also an important preparation step for later skincare steps such as serum and moisturizer. Balancing pH and providing moisture to the skin helps the subsequent skincare products penetrate deeply and deliver higher effectiveness.

To rescue the skin from moisture-thirst and restore its softness, brightness and health, Sắc Ngọc Khang Herbal Rose Water is an indispensable companion.

The product is crystallized from 5 precious natural herbs, safe for all skin types:

Japanese Cherry Blossom: Brightens and prevents skin aging.

French Rose: Helps tighten pores.

Calendula: Promotes strengthening of the skin’s protective barrier.

Roman Chamomile: Softens and soothes the skin, preventing aging.

Witch Hazel: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Serum

Serum usually has a high active-ingredient content, designed to penetrate deep into the skin and provide the nutrients needed to regenerate and nourish the skin from within. Serums are designed to address specific skin concerns such as anti-aging, brightening, improving wrinkles, controlling oil, reducing acne, soothing sensitive skin and many other issues depending on the ingredients and function of each serum.

Using serum before moisturizer helps enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products, since serum penetrates deep into the skin faster and helps other nutrients absorb better.

Knowing this, Sắc Ngọc Khang officially “unveils” a comprehensively upgraded version. The Vitamin C Miracle Brightening Serum takes on a more radiant look, with “premium-grade” ingredients promising to bring women the most perfect experience.

The product applies the exclusive [CF-White] formula, uniquely combining 10% new-generation Vitamin C + 0.5% Ferulic Acid to improve uneven, darkened skin, melasma and freckles, brightening the skin in just 8 weeks. It also contains Ectoin (from Desert Microorganisms) and Centella Asiatica extract for superior hydration and instant soothing.

Moisturizer

Moisturizer provides moisture to soften, smooth and hydrate the skin. This reduces dryness and helps maintain natural moisture. Meanwhile, moisturizing ingredients such as peptides, collagen and antioxidants in moisturizer can help improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness, reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process. At the same time, it is also a step that helps makeup adhere better to the skin, limiting dryness, flaking and cakey foundation.

Besides, for the “lazy” sisterhood, Sắc Ngọc Khang’s 5-in-1 Skin Brightening Cream will be a powerful helper. Because the product not only moisturizes and brightens the skin but also helps with sun protection, tone-up and instantly covering facial flaws. Extremely suitable for busy women who don’t want elaborate makeup yet still want naturally plump, smooth skin that is bright and rosy every day.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is an indispensable part of the daytime skincare routine. Because sunscreen helps protect the skin from harmful UVB and UVA rays from sunlight. UV rays can cause problems such as skin darkening, premature aging and the risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen creates a protective layer on the skin, blocking the effects of UV rays and helping keep the skin healthy.

Maximum protection is the best way for the skin to be free. Sắc Ngọc Khang’s “Desert” Sunscreen will help you achieve that with 6 advanced Filter layers, an SPF50+/PA++++ sun-protection index combined with premium ingredients from the harshest lands, for superior protection – optimal sun-blocking – comprehensive skincare:

Protects against UVA1/UVA2/UVB.

Protects against blue light.

Protects against the harm of pollution and fine dust.

Soothes, delivers instant and long-lasting hydration, and slows aging.
