Your skin has different needs depending on the time of day. Your morning routine should focus on protection, while your evening routine should focus on repair.
Morning Routine: Protect
- Cleanse: Remove overnight buildup. A gentle splash of water might suffice for dry skin.
- Antioxidants: Vitamin C serum to fight free radicals from pollution and UV rays.
- Moisturize: Hydrate the skin to keep it supple throughout the day.
- SPF: Protect from UV damage. This is non-negotiable!
Evening Routine: Repair
- Double Cleanse: Remove makeup, sunscreen, and pollutants accumulated during the day.
- Treat: Use retinol or exfoliating acids to stimulate cell turnover and repair damage.
- Hydrate: Use a richer moisturizer or night cream to support the skin's recovery process while you sleep.
