Skincare routine for me?

Can anyone recommend a skincare routine that'll make your skin look clear and feel great? Like what things do I need and need to do to achieve this? I'm 14 and I wear makeup. Right now, I remove my makeup,wash my face, and moisturize. I feel like I want to do more. So what's your skincare routine? And how often woukd I need to repeat this routine? Thanks

    Here is a suggestion:

    Avoid make up as much as possible.

    Cleanse, tone and moisturize twice a day - once in the morning before you put on makeup, and once at night before you go to bed. This will give your skin a chance to heal and breath overnight rather than being clogged by dirt or make up. It's easiest to do this when in the shower as it makes rinsing easier, but if you are only washing your face, here's how to do it:

    First, wash your hands so you won't be transferring bacteria to your face.

    Wet your skin with warm water to open up your pores. Apply the cleanser and massage it into your skin in upwards, circular motions. Some products will work best if you leave it for a minute or so to allow it to dissolve dirt and makeup, and to let it get deep into your pores. During this time, continue to gently rub the cleanser in.

    Then remove, either with damp cotton pads, using a sponge, or by splashing with warm water, gently wiping until ALL the cleanser is removed. Never leave any cleanser on your face, as this encourages irritation, spots and imperfections.

    Finish off by rinsing your skin with cold water to close up the pores and prevent dirt getting back into them, and therefore preventing blemishes. It will also leave you looking more fresh faced, and less red.

    Dry your face gently by dabbing it with a clean towel or paper towels. Dirty towels transfer hundreds of bacteria onto your skin which can lead to imperfections.

    i myself use astringent to get all the oils out, mary kays botanical effects face mask/scrub to get out the left behind dirt particles, then Mary Kays Microdermabrasion set. the first one rids your face of dead skin cells and then the second replenishes for a great smooth look. Im 16 and ive been using this for 2 weeks, and my skin is so radiant. The mary kay face mask is $14, and the microdermabrasion set is $40ish. BUT, if you dont want to spend that much money, use a good quality face scrub, then astringent, then a moisturizer so your skin isnt all dried out.
