If you’re new to skincare, it’s easy to overthink it. Most advice online makes routines feel long, complicated, and expensive.
They don’t have to be.
A good skincare routine is built around a few core steps. When you use them consistently, they do the heavy lifting for you.
Here’s how to build a skincare routine from scratch using Beechy Skin products, without turning it into a 10-step project.
TL;DR
To build a skincare routine from scratch, start with the basics and keep it consistent. At night, remove makeup and sunscreen with Beechy Skin’s BiPhasic Make-up Remover, Fragrance Free, then cleanse. Apply Beechy Skin’s Collagen Boost Serum to clean skin, morning and night, to support hydration and smoother-looking skin. In the evening, finish with Beechy Skin’s Calming Facial Oil to lock in moisture. In the morning, always end your routine with sunscreen.
Step 1: Start with clean skin
Every routine starts with cleansing. At night, that usually means two steps.
Remove makeup and sunscreen (at night)
If you wear makeup or sunscreen, start with Beechy Skin’s BiPhasic Make-up Remover, Fragrance Free. The oil-and-water formula helps break down makeup and SPF without harsh rubbing.
Why this step matters:
-
Lifts makeup and sunscreen gently
-
Helps prevent residue from building up
-
Reduces the need to scrub your skin
How to use it:
-
Shake to combine the two layers
- Apply to a cotton pad
-
Gently sweep over skin
Use this step in the evening only.
Cleanse
After removing makeup, cleanse your skin to wash away residue, oil, and sweat.
Cleanse to:
-
Prep skin for the rest of your routine
-
Help products absorb better
-
Keep skin feeling fresh and balanced
Cleanse morning and night.
Step 2: Use a serum
Serums are where targeted care comes in. They’re applied after cleansing and before moisturizing.
Beechy Skin’s Collagen Boost Serum fits into this step. It has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer.
When to use a serum:
-
After cleansing
-
Before moisturizer or facial oil
Why use a serum:
-
Delivers targeted hydration
-
Absorbs fast
-
Doesn’t feel heavy on the skin
Apply a small amount to clean skin, morning and evening.
Step 3: Lock in moisture
Moisture helps keep skin comfortable and balanced. This step matters for all skin types.
At night, Beechy Skin’s Calming Facial Oil can be used as the final step in your routine.
Facial oil works best when:
-
Skin feels dry or tight
-
You want to seal in moisture
-
You’re finishing your routine
How to apply it:
-
Use a few drops
-
Press gently into skin
-
Apply as the last step
You can use it after moisturizer or on its own.
Step 4: Protect your skin in the morning
In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.
Daily sunscreen helps:
-
Protect your skin from sun damage
-
Support long-term skin health
-
Prevent premature aging
This is the final step in your morning routine.
