As soon as I started the fourth grade, my older sister told me to start washing my face. I questioned why I should because "I didn't have any pimples" but she told me that the earlier you start caring for your skin, the more it will show as you grow up. I took that lesson from my sister to heart and started washing my face every day. As I've gotten older, I've learned what works for my skin type (and what doesn't) and my skincare collection has rapidly grown. My routine may seem excessive, but in the long run, it will help my complexion. A lot of people are intimidated by a lengthy skincare routine but once you get the hang of it, the process can take as little as 5 minutes. Below I've created the skincare routine everybody (girl or guy!) should be following, and the order in which it should be done. Take care of your skin while you're young, so it looks healthier when you are older.

Of course, having healthy skin begins with how you eat, how much water you drink, and how much sleep you get, but these steps will help give your skin an extra boost.
