- Cleaning agent:
Start your morning skincare routine with a gentle cleanser. This will remove any impurities or residue that may have built up overnight, leaving your skin ready for the next steps. - Toner:
After cleansing, apply a toner to balance skin’s pH and replenish moisture. Toner can also help tighten and reduce the appearance of pores. - Serum:
Next, apply a serum that targets your specific skin concern. Serums are packed with powerful ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin to address concerns such as hydration, brightening or anti-aging. - Eye cream:
Gently pat eye cream around the delicate eye area to moisturize, protect and minimize the appearance of fine lines or dark circles. - Moisturizer:
Lock in moisture with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Moisturizers provide hydration and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss throughout the day. - Sunscreen:
Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature aging.
Sequence of nighttime skin care routine:
- Makeup remover:
Start your nightly routine by removing makeup with a gentle yet effective makeup remover. A popular choice is Drunk Elephant Slaai Makeup Remover Butter Cleanser, which effectively dissolves makeup and impurities. - Detergent:
Then use a cleanser to thoroughly cleanse the skin to remove any remaining dirt or oil. Choose a cleanser that is right for your skin type. - Exfoliation (1-2 times a week):
If you exfoliate, use an exfoliator 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal a more radiant complexion. Be gentle and avoid over-exfoliation as it can irritate the skin. - Toner:
Use a toner to balance skin’s pH and prepare it for the next step in your nightly routine. - Serum:
Address your specific skin concerns with a targeted serum, like Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Acid Serum, known for its moisturizing and plumping properties. - Eye cream:
Gently pat the eye cream around the eye area to nourish and moisturize delicate skin. - Moisturizer:
Apply a nourishing night cream or moisturizer to deeply hydrate your skin and help repair and regenerate overnight. - Optional: Overnight Mask or Treatment:
If desired, you can add in a night mask or treatment to provide extra moisture or to address specific skin concerns.
Targeted therapy:
Include targeted treatments such as acne spot treatments, anti-aging creams or whitening serums in your morning and evening routine. Use these treatments after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing.
