We all want that fresh, radiant glow, and it all begins with a simple morning skincare routine. In this guide, we'll take you through our easy 8-step routine that you can start using today to get that flawless glow every single day.
Step 1: Cleansing with the Ultrasonic
Start your morning skincare routine by cleansing your face. Instead of just using your hands or a traditional cleanser, we love using the Ultrasonic, as the device uses gentle vibrations to remove dirt, oil and any left over makeup from your pores, leaving your skin much cleaner and more receptive to the products we're going to apply next.
Step 2: Gentle Cleanser
After using the Ultrasonic, choose a mild cleanser that matches your skin type. Look for cleansers with hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or aloe vera, as they help keep your skin moisturised without removing its natural oils. Simply massage the cleanser gently onto your skin, rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 3: Toning
Opt for a toner that's alcohol-free, as it can be harsh on the skin. Look for toners containing hydrating and soothing ingredients like rose water or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients will help even out your skin tone and keep your skin well-hydrated. Apply the toner on a cotton pad and gently pat it onto your face.
Step 4: Serum
Serums are potent formulations that target specific skin concerns. For a morning routine, choose a serum rich in antioxidants like vitamin C to protect your skin from environmental damage and promote a radiant complexion.
Step 5: Eye Cream
To combat puffiness or dark circles in the morning, use a hydrating eye cream or oil formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides. Apply a small amount around the orbital bone with your ring finger to hydrate, reduce puffiness, protect against environmental damage, and help prevent signs of ageing.
Step 6: Moisturise
A lightweight, hydrating moisturiser is essential, even for those with oily skin. We love hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to maintain skin moisture. Gently massage a small amount in upward and outward motions, covering the entire face, neck and décolletage.
Step 7: Sunscreen
Sun protection is non-negotiable! Apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Don't forget to reapply throughout the day, especially if you're spending time outdoors.
Step 8: Lip Care
Finish your morning skincare routine with a nourishing lip balm or treatment to keep your lips soft and protected.
Additional Tips:
- Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of water.
- Get a good night's sleep to support skin regeneration.
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption, as they can dehydrate your skin.
Remember, consistency is key in achieving and maintaining fresh, glowing skin. Stick with your morning skincare routine, and as time goes by, you'll notice amazing changes in the health and beauty of your skin.
