Slay alert: Your skincare routine is basically a TikTok trend, but you’re missing the holy grail. You’re using niacinamide, aloe vera, and rosehip oil like it’s 2015, but your skin’s still begging for a break. Let’s talk about how to level up your glow game without sounding like a skincare influencer who’s overcompensating.
First off, your AM routine is almost there. Cleanser + aloe vera + sunscreen is a solid base, but you’re skipping the serum step. Think of serum as the MVP of your routine—it’s where you hit your skin with targeted ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. Plus, your sunscreen is great, but is it SPF 30+? If not, you’re basically letting UV rays crash your party.
Now, PM is where you’re losing points. Aloe vera + rosehip oil is cute, but you’re not exfoliating. Yep, even if you’re using a gentle cleanser, your skin needs a weekly scrub or a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) to slough off dead cells. Also, your night cream? It’s probably just moisturizer. You need an eye cream to tackle dark circles and puffiness. And don’t forget to massage it in—your skin’s not a wall, it’s a living, breathing thing.
Lastly, your routine is missing a few key players. You’re not using a toner, which helps balance pH and prep skin for products. And you’re not layering properly—serum first, then moisturizer, then sunscreen. Oh, and your aloe vera? It’s great, but it’s not a replacement for a proper moisturizer. You’re basically wearing a hoodie in the middle of winter.
💫 Also, check your sunscreen’s SPF—it should be at least 30.
Key points: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week, use an eye cream, and layer serum before moisturizer. Also, check your sunscreen’s SPF—it should be at least 30.

❓ People Also Ask
How often should I wash my face?
Wash face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Over-washing can strip natural oils and cause dryness or irritation. Use lukewarm water and pat dry.
Should I use a toner?
Toner can balance pH and remove residue, but it’s not essential. Use a mild, alcohol-free toner if you have oily skin or want extra exfoliation. Skip if your skin feels dry or irritated.
