1. Never miss a sunscreen
Use a sunblock irrespective of the season as the sun is pretty much still there. Sunblock is not just used for tanning but the sun can actually age your skin which can be harmful to you. So, you should use a sunblock more in terms of anti-ageing as opposed to preventing your tan.

4. May skip toner
A lot of people feel that the astringents and toners help in tightening their open pores, that is not true, it only pulls out the moisturise from your skin. So, try to avoid it. If you're just using a face wash, moisturiser and sunblock consistently according to your skin type then that would go a long way in taking care of your skin.
5. Add vitamin C to your routine
