Best Skincare Routine for Beginners in Bangladesh

You look at your skincare shelf and wonder, “Do I really need all these products?” If you are new to skincare, the answer is no.

A good beginner skincare routine needs only three basics. Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. You can add a serum or other products later, based on your skin's needs.

In Bangladesh, your skincare routine should also suit the hot, humid weather and daily sun exposure. This guide will show you the best skincare routine for beginners, what to use, and skincare products in Bangladesh you can find at Glowly.

What Is the Best Skincare Routine for Beginners?

The best skincare routine for beginners is a simple 3-step routine: cleanse, moisturize, and use sunscreen. This is a basic skincare routine if you are new to skincare..

First, use a cleanser. It removes dirt, sweat, and excess oil. Use it morning and night. Then apply moisturizer. It keeps your skin hydrated and supports the skin barrier. So, choose a lightweight one if you have oily skin. Lastly, use sunscreen. It protects your skin from UV rays. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning.

You can add a serum or essence later based on your skin type and skin concerns. For example, hyaluronic acid can help with hydration. Meanwhile, niacinamide can help with excess oil and uneven-looking skin tone. Start with one new product at a time. 

Best Skincare Routine for Beginners in Bangladesh

To start off with a beginner skincare routine in Bangladesh, you must know your skin type and skin concern. More importantly, you need to have authentic skincare products that Glowly offers. Let's now see the routine you must follow to get flawless skin.

Step 1: Know Your Skin Type

Knowing your skin type helps you choose products that are right for your skin.

The main skin types are:

• Oily skin: Your face becomes shiny quickly and produces more oil.

• Dry skin: Your skin feels tight, rough, or flaky.

• Combination skin: Your T-zone is oily, but your cheeks may be dry or normal.

• Normal skin: Your skin is neither very oily nor very dry.

• Sensitive skin: Your skin becomes red, itchy, burning, or irritated easily.

A Simple Way to Check Your Skin Type

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and wait without applying skincare products. After some time, check how your skin feels. If it is:

• Oily all over: You may have oily skin.

• Tight or flaky: You may have dry skin.

• Oily T-zone but dry cheeks: You may have combination skin.

• Comfortable with little oil or dryness: You may have normal skin.

• Easily irritated or burning: You may have sensitive skin.

Step 2: Use a Gentle Cleanser

A cleanser removes dirt, sweat, excess oil, and sunscreen. Use a gentle cleanser morning and night. Cleanse after heavy sweating too. Avoid harsh scrubbing and hot water. Instead, use lukewarm water and your fingertips.

A Simple Facial Cleanser can be a good choice for beginners if it suits your skin. It gives you gentle, simple cleansing without starting with strong active ingredients.

How to use it: Wet your face → massage gently → rinse → pat dry.

Step 3: Apply a Hydrating Essence or Serum

This step is optional in a beginner skincare routine. Add it after your basic routine feels comfortable. A hydrating essence or serum can add extra moisture to your skin.

COSRX Snail Mucin is a hydrating essence you can use after cleansing. Glowly recommends using it before serum and moisturizer.

How to use it: Apply after cleansing → gently pat into your skin → continue with your next product.

Stop using it if it causes irritation.

Step 4: Add a Serum for a Specific Skin Concern

Choose a serum based on your skin concern. 

• Dehydrated skin: Hyaluronic acid can add hydration.

• Excess oil: Niacinamide is a common choice.

• Uneven-looking skin tone: Niacinamide or vitamin C may help.

• Fine lines: Retinoids may help but should be introduced slowly.

• Persistent acne: See a dermatologist instead of trying many active ingredients.

Glowly currently lists The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, a hydrating serum. This is a good option if your main concern is dehydrated skin.

Hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture in the skin. Remember, start with one serum, not several.

Glowly also recommends The Ordinary Niacinamide. Niacinamide can be useful for excess oil and uneven-looking skin tone. Add it after your basic routine is established.

Do not start several active ingredients at once.

Step 5: Never Skip Moisturizer

Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated and supports the skin barrier.

Even oily skin needs moisturizer. For oily or acne-prone skin, choose a lightweight, oil-free, or non-comedogenic formula. For dry skin, you may need a richer moisturizer.

Dr. Althea 345 is a relief cream option from Glowly. It supports the skin barrier and has ceramides. You can use it after your serum or essence.

If it feels too heavy on oily skin, choose a lighter moisturizer.

Step 6: Use Sunscreen Every Morning

Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays and helps prevent sunburn and premature skin aging. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for daily protection.

Daily sunscreen is especially important in Bangladesh because of regular sun exposure. So, choose a sunscreen that feels comfortable enough to use every day.

The  Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum UV, available at Glowly, is a solid fit for our weather. It's SPF50, has a watery, serum-like texture that absorbs fast, and leaves no white cast, so it layers well under makeup and doesn't sit heavy in the heat.

Apply it as the last step of your morning routine.

Your Simple Morning Skincare Routine

A morning skincare routine for beginners needs only three steps. Cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Follow this process:

Cleanser → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Once your skin adjusts, add a serum or essence, and follow this process:

Cleanser → Essence/Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

You can use a Simple cleanser, COSRX Snail Mucin or a suitable serum, CeraVe moisturizer, and sunscreen from Glowly. Apply products from thinnest to thickest, with sunscreen last.

Your Simple Night Skincare Routine

A simple night skincare routine for beginners has three steps. Cleanse, treat, and moisturize.

Follow this process:

Cleanser → Essence/Serum → Moisturizer

Cleanser removes dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen. Your essence or serum adds hydration or targets a skin concern. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated overnight.

You do not need sunscreen at night. If you wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, cleanse properly to remove it. Avoid harsh scrubbing because it can irritate your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which skincare products should I buy first as a beginner?

Start with three products: a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Once your skin adjusts, you can add a hydrating product. Like COSRX Snail Mucin or The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 from Glowly.

Do beginners need a 10-step skincare routine?

No, you do not need a 10-step skincare routine. A 3-step skincare routine is enough. Just do cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen. Add other products only when you have a specific skin concern.

How often should beginners change their skincare products?

Do not change several products at once. Add new products one at a time and give your skin time to adjust. This also helps you find out which product works or causes irritation.
