Key Takeaways
The sun doesn't move, it's the Earth that moves, causing seasonal changes and variations in sunlight hours. A skincare routine is important for maintaining healthy skin and should include steps like washing, toning, using serums, applying eye creams, moisturizing, and using sunscreen. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and allows skincare products to work more effectively. Additional treatments like facials, microneedling, and gua sha can enhance skincare routines. Skincare should be seen as a form of self-care and enjoyed rather than rushed through.
