Who Is This Article Suitable For?

This guide is especially prepared for those new to skincare, those who don't know the order of product use, and those who want to create a simple yet regular care routine.

It can also guide users who want to establish a basic routine without using too many products, make more informed product choices according to skin type, and clarify morning-evening care steps.

What Is Skincare?

Skincare is the regular application of cleansing, moisturising, supportive care, and protection steps according to the skin's daily needs. This routine contributes to the skin looking cleaner, more hydrated, balanced, and well-cared for.

The key point here is not to try to use every product at once. A good routine starts with understanding what the skin needs. Oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skins may have different care needs. Therefore, there is no single correct routine for everyone.

For a beginner, the healthiest start is usually a simple routine. Once the basic steps are established, toner, serum, or products with active ingredients can be added as needed.

What Is the Order of Skincare?

The basic skincare order is usually cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, and sunscreen. However, not every step is mandatory for every user. Especially for beginners, keeping the routine simple is more sustainable.

At the beginner level, three basic steps may be sufficient: cleanser, moisturiser, and daytime sunscreen. Products like toner and serum can be included in the routine as the skin's needs become clearer.

When adding a new product to the routine, keeping other steps constant is a good approach. This way, you can more easily observe how the skin reacts to each product.

Step 1: Gently Cleanse Your Skin

The first step in skincare is cleansing. During the day, oil, dirt, makeup residue, sunscreen, and environmental residues can accumulate on the skin surface. A cleanser helps remove these residues from the skin.

A lighter cleanse may be sufficient in the mornings. In the evenings, it is more important to clean the residues accumulated throughout the day. If the cleansing step is skipped, the expected care experience from the toner, serum, or moisturiser used afterward may also weaken.

When choosing a cleanser, it is necessary to consider the skin type. Oily and combination skins may prefer purifying gel cleansers, while dry or sensitive skins may opt for gentler formulas.

For those who want to establish a simple routine at the start, Seuty Daily Gentle Gel Cleanser can provide a good foundation in the cleansing step. Users who want to focus on oiliness and pore appearance can consider the Seuty Salicylic Acid Purifying Gel Cleanser option.

Step 2: Prepare the Skin for Care Steps with Toner

Toner is a care product used after cleansing that helps prepare the skin for the next care steps. It is not mandatory in every routine, but when chosen correctly, it can be a beneficial step that completes the care routine.

Toner selection should be made according to the care goal. Users who want gentler care can consider toners containing PHA. Users aiming for more purifying care can opt for toners containing glycolic acid.

Active ingredient toners may not be suitable for every day and every skin type. Especially products containing acids should be added to the routine slowly, and the frequency of use should be determined according to the skin's tolerance.

For someone new to using toner, starting with a few times a week may be a more controlled approach. More products or more frequent use in skincare does not always mean better results.

Step 3: Use Serum Suitable for Skin Needs

Serums are products that provide intensive care support for specific skin needs. Different serums can be preferred for different care goals such as moisture, a more balanced appearance, skin tone unevenness, a vibrant appearance, or a smoother skin appearance.

When choosing a serum, it is necessary to look at the skin's real needs rather than deciding based on popular ingredients. Not every active ingredient is necessary for everyone. Making the routine too crowded can make it difficult to observe the skin, especially for beginners.

Starting with a single serum may be more appropriate for beginners. For example, if dryness is prominent, a moisture-focused serum; if oiliness is dominant, a serum aiming for a more balanced appearance can be preferred.

Step 4: Complete the Routine with Moisturiser

Moisturiser is one of the basic steps of skincare. It contributes to the skin looking more comfortable, soft, and balanced. Even oily skins may need a moisturiser; the important thing here is to choose a product suitable for the skin type.

Dry skins may prefer creams that provide more intense moisture support. Oily or combination skins may feel more comfortable with lightweight moisturisers.

The moisturiser step is an important step that completes the routine after products like serum and toner. It is not correct to think of this step as only necessary for dry skins. The comfort of the skin during the day, the feeling of tightness after cleansing, and the matte appearance can provide good clues for product selection.

In the Seuty routine, Seuty 4D Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturising Cream can be considered for users seeking daily moisture support. Especially for those who want to establish a simple starting routine, it can be positioned as a complementary care step between the cleanser and sunscreen.

Step 5: Use Sunscreen in the Daytime Routine

The last step of the daytime skincare routine is sunscreen. Sunscreen should be used after the care products applied in the morning and should be the last stage of the routine.

Especially in routines using active ingredients like Vitamin C, arbutin, AHA, BHA, PHA, or glycolic acid, the use of sunscreen during the day becomes even more important.

In care routines aimed at the appearance of skin tone unevenness, sunscreen is an important complementary step. Therefore, the daytime routine should not end only with serum or moisturiser but should be completed with sunscreen.

In the Seuty routine, Seuty SPF 50+ Daily Moisturising Sunscreen can be preferred as the last step of daytime care.

Should Morning and Evening Skincare Be the Same?

The purpose of morning and evening skincare is different. The morning routine is more about preparing the skin for the day and completing it with sunscreen. The evening routine is used to cleanse the residues accumulated throughout the day and apply care products suitable for the skin's needs.

At the beginner level, it is not necessary to use very different products in the morning and evening. First, establish a simple basic routine, then add products according to needs for a more sustainable approach.

For a beginner, starting with the same cleanser and moisturiser in the morning and evening may be sufficient. It is more important for the routine to be regularly applicable than to look perfect.

How Should a Starting Routine Be According to Skin Type?

The skincare routine can vary according to skin type. Not everyone needs to use the same product in the same way.

This table is a general guide for starting. The skin's reaction should be monitored, and new products should be added to the routine one by one.

If you have difficulty understanding your skin type, you can look at how your skin feels during the day. If there is noticeable shine in the middle of the day, oiliness may be prominent. If there is a noticeable feeling of tightness after cleansing, moisture support may become more important.

What Should Beginners Pay Attention to in Skincare?

The most common mistake beginners make in skincare is trying to use too many products at once. However, a good care routine does not have to be crowded.

• Start the routine with few products.
• Add new products one by one.
• Do not use active ingredients intensively at the same time.
• Monitor the skin's reaction.
• Do not neglect sunscreen during the day.
• Use products regularly but do not overdo it to the point of stressing the skin.

Skincare is a habit that requires patience. It is not realistic to expect immediate results after using a product for a few days. Regular use is important for the skin to look more balanced and well-cared for.

The most sensible approach is to first establish the basic routine and then add serum or toner according to the skin's needs. This way, you can more clearly see which product really contributes to the routine.

Can Be Used Together and Should Be Used Carefully

Some ingredients can be used together in the same routine, while some active ingredients should be positioned carefully as they can increase the appearance of sensitivity in the skin.

Especially if you are new to active ingredients, it is more appropriate to add products to the routine slowly. If the skin shows sensitivity, it may be necessary to reduce the frequency of use or simplify the routine.

When adding a new active ingredient, keeping other products in the routine constant is a good idea. This approach makes it easier to understand how the skin reacts to what.

Starting Skincare Routine with Seuty

For those who want to make a simple start to skincare, the Seuty routine can be structured as follows:

Morning Routine

• Seuty Daily Gentle Gel Cleanser
• Serum according to skin needs
• Seuty 4D Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturising Cream
• Seuty SPF 50+ Daily Moisturising Sunscreen

Evening Routine

• Seuty Daily Gentle Gel Cleanser
• Toner or serum according to skin needs
• Seuty 4D Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturising Cream

When establishing a starting routine, it is more appropriate to first clarify the basic three steps: cleansing, moisturising, and daytime protection. Seuty Daily Gentle Gel Cleanser can be positioned in the cleansing step of this basic structure. In the moisture step, Seuty 4D Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturising Cream, and at the end of the daytime routine, Seuty SPF 50+ Daily Moisturising Sunscreen can complete the routine.

If a care focused on oiliness and pore appearance is targeted, Seuty Salicylic Acid Purifying Gel Cleanser can be considered in the cleansing step. For moisture support-focused care, Seuty Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Serum can be added to the routine. Users aiming for a more balanced appearance can consider the Seuty Niacinamide + Zinc Balancing Serum option.

The aim here is not to use all products at once, but to establish a routine suitable for the skin's needs. When choosing Seuty products, first determine the basic steps, then add serum or toner according to the need for a cleaner start.

Most Common Mistakes in Skincare

The most common mistakes in skincare are:

• Using too many products at once
• Choosing products not suitable for skin type
• Using sunscreen only in summer
• Using active ingredients too frequently
• Thinking moisturiser is only necessary for dry skins
• Not paying attention to product order
• Trying to add every trendy ingredient to the routine

Skincare is not about following trends, but about managing needs. Understanding what the skin needs is more valuable than using the most popular product.

For a beginner, the best control question is: “Why am I using this product?” If you don't have a clear answer, that product may not really be necessary in the routine. A simpler routine makes it easier to observe the effects of products and the skin's response.

Conclusion: Skincare Doesn't Have to Be Complicated

Skincare is based on using the right products in the right order and regularly. For a start, a basic routine can be established with a cleanser, moisturiser, and daytime sunscreen. Products like toner and serum can be added to the routine according to the skin's needs.

With Seuty, you can establish a simple, understandable skincare routine suitable for your skin's needs; you can turn the steps of cleansing, moisturising, supportive care, and sun protection into a balanced routine.
