Cleansing and moisturizing your face are key steps to any good skincare routine. However, you shouldn’t forget to exfoliate as well. As much as you hydrate your skin, dead skin cells, and dry patches have to be removed. This will leave your skin feeling soft and fresh before you proceed with the other steps in your routine it’ll also help absorb your serums and moisturizers.
