With so much skincare advice floating around online, figuring out the right way to create a personalised routine can be confusing. Too often, people end up adding too many products into their routine, making skincare more complicated than it needs to be.
At Victoria’s, we believe in building a simple but effective skincare routine based on professional advice. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to crafting a routine that works for you and helps you meet your skincare goals.
Knowing where to start is the trickiest part of building a skincare routine. To begin with, it’s important to understand that building a skincare routine is not a one-size-fits-all approach. As with many things, what may work for your skin, may not be recommended for someone else’s.
As the first step of building your skincare routine, you should take the time to identify your skin type and your skin goals, as this will determine the strength and type of products you may want to include in your routine.
For example, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to steer clear of intense Vitamin A products as it may irritate your skin. Or, if you have acne-prone skin, you may want to find a Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) product to help with oil control.

As a rule of thumb, usually all skincare routines contain a cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF. However, to achieve your skin goals, you want to make sure that these products have the ingredients necessary to address your concerns. Plus, there are many other products on the market, like serums and night creams, that can provide additional benefits for your skin.
Here are just a few tips on how to choose products for your unique skin:
Acne-prone skin
Hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rosacea or sensitive skin
Everyday skin
Cleansing the skin is the first step of any daytime or nighttime routine. After cleansing, the order of your toners and serums can sometimes be mixed and matched, unless they’re best used in the daytime vs. nighttime.
For example, products with Vitamin C help defend your skin against environmental factors, so It’ll best be applied during the day. Vitamin A, on the other hand, can make your skin more prone to sun damage, so should only be used during nighttime.

Beyond the routine itself, there are key principles to remember for long-lasting skincare success.
Stay consistent: Sticking to your routine, even on lazy days, makes all the difference. Your skin craves stability and responds best to regular care.
Be patient: Results take time, often weeks or months. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see instant changes.
Embrace the skin purge: You may experience skin purging when introducing a new skincare product, because your body is getting rid of all the gunk hiding beneath your skin’s surface at an accelerated rate. Don’t let this deter you from your skincare routine – it should subside in a few weeks.
Seek professional guidance: Don’t hesitate to consult a skin professional for personalised advice, especially if you have specific concerns or sensitive skin.
