Your current routine is already quite good for combination skin. Using a gentle face wash, serum, moisturizer at night and sunscreen in the morning is an appropriate basic skincare routine.
Next Steps
• You can add a Vitamin C serum in the morning after face wash and before moisturizer/sunscreen. Vitamin C helps with skin brightness, antioxidant protection, and early anti-aging benefits.
• Continue using sunscreen daily (SPF 30–50), which is the most important step for maintaining healthy skin.
• At night, you can continue your current serum and moisturizer routine if your skin tolerates it well.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Start Vitamin C once daily in the morning and observe if your skin tolerates it without irritation.
• Avoid using too many active products together, as this may irritate combination skin.
• Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic products to avoid clogging pores.
If you would like, you may also consult online with me for a customized skincare routine based on your skin type and concerns.
