For a demure look, you have to think of your makeup as a subtle work of art, like a beautiful painting. And every painting needs a good canvas. In this case your canvas is your face. Start your skin care routine with a hydrating makeup remover. La-Roche Posay Micellar Cleansing Water and Makeup Remover is great for oily skin. If you are looking for something a little more affordable you can try CeraVe cleansing balm for sensitive skin. 

9. A Gentle Facial Cleanser

After you have removed your makeup, make sure your skin is fresh and clean by using a facial cleanser. Our skin comes into contact with air pollutants and oils that clog your pores. So you should use cleansers that are gentle on the skin like The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Facial cleanser.  

8. Moisturizer

Now that your face is squeaky clean, it’s time to moisturize. Moisturizing will help your skin look plump and youthful. Try Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. You can also try the Neutrogena retinol face moisturizer.

7. Eye Cream

After you have moisturized you need to be mindful of the skin under your eyes. Reduce the appearance of lines and dark circles under your eyes by applying eye creams. You can use RoC Retinol Correxion Under Eye Cream. Or if you’re looking for a product that will be easier on your wallet, you can use CeraVe Eye Repair Cream.

6. Sunscreen

Now that you have taken care of your eyes, now you have to be mindful of the sun. Because the sun can kill you, and a murderous sun is not very demure. For great protection, you can use La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 100. You can also try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant and Non-Greasy Sunscreen Lotion.

5. Face Primer

4. Luminous Foundation
