Most people assume that if they have a routine – cleanser, moisturiser, maybe a serum or two – they’re doing enough for their skin. But not all skincare routines are created equal. In fact, using the wrong products, skipping essential steps, or failing to protect your skin can accelerate premature ageing, dullness, and loss of elasticity.

At Eudai Clinic, we take a science-backed, doctor-led approach to skincare. If you’ve taken our Skin Ageing Quiz, your score has already given you insight into how effective (or ineffective) your current routine is.

Now, let’s break down what your skincare routine should be doing – and how to optimise it for long-term skin health.

1) Are You Using the Right Products for Your Skin Type?

Many people follow trends rather than what their skin actually needs. Using harsh exfoliants, incorrect pH cleansers, or heavy moisturisers can lead to breakouts, sensitivity, or an impaired skin barrier. A skincare routine should be personalised to your skin type, focusing on:

  • Hydration & barrier repair for dry or sensitive skin.
  • Oil control & gentle exfoliation for combination or acne-prone skin.
  • Anti-ageing ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants.

2) Are You Protecting Your Skin from Damage?

One of the biggest culprits of premature skin ageing is sun exposure. If you’re not applying broad-spectrum SPF daily, UV damage will accelerate fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Environmental stressors like pollution and blue light exposure can also contribute to oxidative stress, breaking down collagen over time.

3) How to Improve Your Skincare Routine for Long-Term Results

A medical-grade, scientifically designed routine can do more than just improve your skin’s appearance – it can actively slow the ageing process. At Eudai Clinic, we help patients refine their routines with personalised guidance, combining skincare with professional treatments like chemical peels, mesotherapy, and hydration therapies.
