The Perfect Skincare Routine for Morning and Night

Having a consistent skincare routine is essential to maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Knowing the correct order of applying your skincare products can maximize their benefits and ensure your skin gets the nourishment it needs. Here’s a guide to the perfect morning and evening skincare routine:

Morning skin care routine sequence:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Eye cream:
   Gently pat eye cream around the delicate eye area to moisturize, protect and minimize the appearance of fine lines or dark circles.
5. 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.
6. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Toner:
   Use a toner to balance skin’s pH and prepare it for the next step in your nightly routine.
5. Serum:
   Address your specific skin concerns with a targeted serum, like Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Acid Serum, known for its moisturizing and plumping properties.
6. Eye cream:
   Gently pat the eye cream around the eye area to nourish and moisturize delicate skin.
7. Moisturizer:
   Apply a nourishing night cream or moisturizer to deeply hydrate your skin and help repair and regenerate overnight.
8. 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.
