Skin care by skin type

What's the best daily skin care regimen?

I need advice for facial skin care. Please recommend daily skin care steps that promote great skin tone.

I recommend specific regimens based on the patient’s skin color (fair, mid or dark), texture (thin or thick), sensitivity (easily irritated or not) and other medical issues such as rosacea, eczema or psoriasis.

For most people, I recommend cleansing morning and evening, application of antioxidants following this, application of sun protection in the morning and of moisturizers and repair ingredients in the evening.

In addition, I would add retinol or a retinoid product a few times per week and I also like to have my patients exfoliate with a home microdermabrasion system that I use.
