Doctor-Recommended Skincare Routine

Doctor-Recommended Skincare Routine: Build the Perfect Daily Regimen for Your Skin Type

Introduction

With so many skincare products on the market, choosing the right routine can feel overwhelming. A doctor-recommended regimen cuts through the noise by focusing on proven ingredients, correct layering, and products that suit your skin type. At DrCosmetist, skincare plans are personalised to support both everyday skin health and in-clinic treatments.

Why Your Skincare Routine Matters

  • It supports and maintains results from professional treatments.
  • It protects against daily damage from sun, pollution, and stress.
  • It keeps the skin barrier strong and resilient.
  • It can improve acne, pigmentation, dryness, and early ageing.

Step-by-Step Daily Routine

Morning Routine

  1. Cleanser: Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove oil and impurities.
  2. Antioxidant Serum: Vitamin C or similar antioxidants help protect against free-radical damage and brighten the skin.
  3. Moisturiser: Choose a lightweight gel for oily skin or a richer cream for dry or mature skin.
  4. Sunscreen: Apply SPF 30–50 every morning, even on cloudy days.

Evening Routine

  1. Cleanser: Remove sunscreen, makeup, and pollution.
  2. Treatment Serum: Depending on your concerns, this may be a hydrating serum, a pigment corrector, or an acne treatment.
  3. Retinol or Night Treatment: Retinoids support cell turnover and collagen, helping with ageing and texture.
  4. Night Moisturiser: Locks in hydration and supports overnight repair.

Adapting to Your Skin Type

Dry Skin

Use cream cleansers, hydrating serums (like hyaluronic acid), nourishing creams, and avoid harsh exfoliants.

Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

Use gel cleansers, non-comedogenic moisturisers, oil-controlling serums, and regular but gentle exfoliation.

Sensitive Skin

Choose fragrance-free, minimal-ingredient products. Avoid aggressive actives until assessed by a dermatologist.

Mature Skin

Include antioxidants, retinoids, peptides, and rich moisturisers to support firmness and elasticity.

Weekly Add-Ons

  • Gentle exfoliation 1–2 times per week
  • Hydrating or soothing masks
  • Occasional in-clinic treatments for deeper rejuvenation
