Hey loves! Want to achieve the clean girl look but not sure where to start? I’ve got you covered!

The clean girl aesthetic is all about simplicity, natural beauty, and a polished, put-together vibe that’s both effortless and sophisticated. Think fresh, dewy skin, a well-rested glow, and a look that’s naturally pretty, as if you haven’t spent hours on your makeup. Inspired by the French girl and other European styles, this look works for everyone—no matter your skin tone, hair color, eye shape, or age. It all begins with your overall appearance, and there’s no better place to start than with a solid skincare routine to keep your face looking—and feeling—its absolute best!

Taking care of your skin involves more than just applying products—it

Here’s my go to self-care routine with recommendations based on skin type, problem areas, and best practices for optimal results.

☀️Daily Routine☀️

🧴Cleanser

Why: Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day.

Recommendation: For oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a foaming cleanser with salicylic acid. If you have dry or sensitive skin, a gentle, hydrating cleanser is best.

How To: Use lukewarm water and massage the cleanser into your skin for 60 seconds before rinsing.

🧼Face Wash

Why: Face wash ensures deeper cleansing, especially after removing makeup or sunscreen.

Recommendation: Choose a sulfate-free face wash to avoid stripping your skin

How To: Follow your cleanser with a face wash that complements your skin type for thorough cleansing.

💧Toner

Why: Toners help balance your skin‘s pH and prepare it for the next steps in your routine.

Recommendation: For oily skin, use an astringent toner with witch hazel. Dry skin benefits from a hydrating toner with rose water or glycerin.

How To: Apply with a cotton pad or pat directly onto your skin.

🎯Treatments

Why: Targeted treatments help address issues like acne, redness, or dark spots.

Recommendation: Consider using spot treatments with benzoyl peroxide for acne or niacinamide for reducing redness.

How To: Apply directly to problem areas after your serum.

🍯Serum

Why: Serums deliver concentrated ingredients to address specific concerns, such as wrinkles, dullness, or hyperpigmentation.

Recommendation: Vitamin C serums are great for brightening, while hyaluronic acid serums work wonders for hydration.

How To: Apply a few drops to your face and neck, pressing gently to absorb.

😍Eye Cream

Why: Eye creams address the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.

Recommendation: Look for an eye cream with caffeine for puffiness or retinol for fine lines.

How To: Gently tap a small amount around your eyes with your ring finger.

🧴Moisturizer

Why: Moisturizing locks in hydration and protects your skin barrier.

Recommendation: Choose a lightweight gel moisturizer for oily skin or a rich cream for dry skin.

How To: Apply evenly over your face and neck in upward strokes.

☀️SPF (Morning Only)

Why: Sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging and skin cancer.

Recommendation: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. If you have oily skin, opt for a mattifying formula.

How To: Apply generously as the final step in your morning routine, reapplying every two hours if you’re outdoors.
