Tip #1
Always remove all makeup with a makeup remover wipe or liquid before proceeding to wash your face; washing your face doesn't always get everything off. If you use liquid, cotton balls work best with it to remove makeup. Wipe carefully especially around your eyes. The skin on your eyes is really delicate and can get easily irritated.
Tip #2
Find a face wash that is specifically designed for your skin type. If you have oily skin, you are going to want to get a wash that is water based, not oiled based. This will help cleanse your face without causing breakouts. Gel is usually the best for oily and combination skin types. My personal favorite face wash is Clean & Clear.
Tip #3
Toner is not a must, but it helps remove dead skin cells, any remaining makeup and it stimulates circulation. Again you need to find the product that is right for your skin type. If you have very dry skin for example, you will want to stick with skin fresheners that have a very small percentage of alcohol, and not a super strong toner that will dry out your skin. A splash of cold water can also work really well too.
Tip #4 Moisturizing is the last step in the process. Its very important for your skin and definitely the most important part of your daily routine. When you moisturize with the right product it helps build a layer on your skin to help protect it from the elements and helps hold water in the epidermis (the surface layer of skin). If you moisturize when you are young it will help with wrinkles and fine lines when you are older as well.
Dry Skin: Oiled based moisturizer
Normal Skin: Water based moisturizer, containing light oils
Oily and Combination Skin: Oil Free, water based moisturizer and look for "noncomedogenic" which helps prevents clogged pores
