The Perfect Facial Care Routine

Greetings!  It's great to be back on The Brown Barn Blog. 

Katie Giencke



There are four steps to basic skin care which includes cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and moisturizing. These four steps should be done both morning and night. Other products to enhance the status of your skin can be used as well, some morning and night, some one time a day and some every few days. Below is a reference to help you to know what each product does for your skin.

Cleanser: Removes impurities and prepares the skin for following products. Some cleansers exfoliate as well. Cleanser should be used morning and night.
Toner: Corrects the PH balance of the skin. Toner should be used morning and night.

Exfoliate: Removes dead skin cells, there are two types of exfoiants, liquid and granule, a liquid gives a chemical exfoliation which dissolves away dead skin and a granuler exfoliant gives a mechanical exfoliation rubbing away dead skin as well as bring circulation to the skin. Exfoliants should be used every other day or every three days.Serums: Treat the skin. Serums are usually used morning and night but sometimes once a day. Serums each have different purposes.

Eye Cream: Treats the delicate eye area differently then the rest of the skin. Eye cream should be used morning and night.

Moisturizer: Moisturizer should be used morning and night. Moisturizes and sometime treats the skin.

Masks: Masks treat the skin. Each mask has a different purpose. Masks should be used one time a week.
