Tending your complexion
Skincare refers to the practices and products used to maintain healthy skin—cleansing, moisturizing, treating conditions like acne or aging.
As an adjective, it modifies related nouns: skincare routine, skincare products, skincare industry.
The category has expanded from basic soap-and-lotion regimens to elaborate multi-step protocols.
Also spelled skin care.
