POV: You’ve finally decided to go beyond face washes and want to learn to take care of your skin. You searched for the best skincare products but looking at the plethora of options, you’re not sure what you want – because everything looks appealing. 

Enter Quench Botanics: We take utmost pride in simplifying skincare routine. So, lucky you, because you’re in the right place. We’re not only telling you what products you need, but also why you need them. Let's go! 

The ultimate skincare routine for beginners 

No matter how many 11-step skincare routine videos you’ve seen, let us tell you – that is not required. Added steps do help in the up-keep of the skin’s health, but for the uninitiated, it’s no more than a waste of time, effort, and money. So, here’s everything you need. 

Step 1: Cleansing 

You have a face wash, obviously, and if it works for you, then great. But if you want to actually begin your skincare journey here’s what you need to keep in mind. Your cleanser should be gentle yet effective, and your skin should not feel dry or stretchy after using it. Our Mon Cherry Brightening Foam Cleanser suits all skin types, and is your best bet. It’s because it not only cleanses but also cleanses your face. It is a 2-in-1 lightweight, oil-based cleanser that removes traces of dirt, grime, as well as makeup and sunscreen. Properly massage your face for a good 1 minute, and watch all that gunk melt away. 

Step 2: Moisturize 

After you’re done with cleansing, allow your face to air-dry. Here’s the logic – doing this will allow the water to seep into the skin, rather than getting rubbed-off on your towel. And the more water your skin gets, the healthier it becomes. Smart move, right? Once your face is semi-dried, use the Mon Cherry Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel and massage it all over your damp face and neck. Enriched with cherry blossom, grapefruit, and moringa seed oil, this adds a layer of water on your skin, making it soft and bouncy. 

Step 3: Protect 

Wish we could give you sunscreen right away, and make you apply it as you read this point. Because that is how important sunscreen is. Your skincare journey actually begins at this step, because no matter how many products you might add in the future, if SPF is MIA from the routine, then everything else is a sham. The Bravocado SPF50+ PA++++ Sunscreen Gel is a broad-spectrum sunscreen that fights harmful UVA and UVB rays – the bad guys. It’s ultra-lightweight, and non-sticky, so it does not make your face greasy. And since you’ll be applying sunscreen now, it is essential that you cleanse your face well, and allow it to breathe. Which is why you need the double-cleansing face wash. Geddit? *wink* 

The ultimate PM skincare routine 

After a long day, your skin is just as tired as you are. Which is why it needs a little more TLC. Adding a hydrating serum and an essence to your evening skincare routine will replenish your skin, keep it healthy and hydrated, and diminish your skin concerns overtime. So it goes like this, cleanser > essence > serum > moisturizer.
Our Mon Chery Intense Hydrating Essence  deeply hydrates and delivers a boost of moisture and glow. When paired along with the Bravocado Intense Brightening Serum, you're guaranteed to get spot-free, smooth and glowing skin! Apply 2-3 drops of this liquid gold on your face and gently dab it on your skin until fully absorbed. Lastly, apply a generous layer of the moisturizer to seal in all the moisture. 

That was easy, right? Go, rush! Shop these skincare must-haves and get your best. skin. ever!
