CTM which stands for cleansing, toning and moisturising is the basic skincare routine that many follow for healthy skin. Cleansing helps you get rid of impurities and dirt on your skin. Toning removes the leftover impurities or makeup left after cleansing. After cleaning and moisturising, your skin may need adequate moisture. Apply moisturiser and use a thick one in winters. If you follow an intensive routine, you can follow the above mentioned routine for healthy skin.

"A basic skincare routine will have a cleanser, targeted serum or treatment, moisturiser, and sunscreen in the day and oil at night. Seek help from your dermatologist to understand the needs and concerns of your skin. Remember that less is more and always keep in mind no two skin types are alike, so what works for me may not work for you," Dr. Gupta writes in her post.
