Our skin is our biggest organ, and we should, or let´s get straight to the point, we need to take proper care of it. There are some steps in your skincare routine you should do daily, whether you spend the day at home or are out. So, let´s get ready to achieve radiant and healthy skin: Follow this simple, step-by-step guide to creating a daily skincare routine that will leave your skin glowing E-V-E-R-Y D-A-Y!

Daily Skincare Routine Morning: Wake Up Your Skin

Daily Skincare Step #1: Cleanse!

Ok, you just got up. Your eyes are probably still sticky and full of sleep, and your face needs cleansing and attention!

Rise and Shine

Start your day with a gentle cleanser to remove any overnight buildup. Choose a cleanser suited to your skin type (gel, foam, cream, or oil-based). I recently found charcoal facial wash gives my face a spotless glow.

Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin’s natural oils.

Daily Skincare Step #2: Tone Up

Apply a toner to balance your skin’s pH and remove leftover impurities. Opt for alcohol-free toners to avoid drying out your skin.

Daily Skincare Step #3: Serum to Supercharge Your Skin

Use a vitamin C serum to brighten and protect your skin from environmental damage. Apply a few drops and gently pat it on your skin.

Pro Tip: Choose serums with antioxidants for an extra glow.

Daily Skincare Step #4: Moisturize and Hydrate

Lock in moisture with a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer. And even if you have oily skin, it needs hydration, too! The main thing is that your moisturizer is for your skin type.

Pro Tip: Look for moisturizers with hyaluronic acid for extra hydration.

Daily Skincare Step #5: Sun Protection to Shield Your Skin

Never skip sunscreen. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Sun rays are one of the main reasons for aging!

Pro Tip: Reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors.

This is your Daily Skincare Morning routine, which you should do every morning as a basic skincare routine, no matter your day ahead.

Daily Skincare Evening Routine: Repair and Renew

Now, your day is over, and you are ready to go to bed, but hold on. Again, no matter if you had a long day or just spent the day at home on the couch, your face needs to get ready for bed as well. Dirt, oils, etc., must be removed so your skin can breathe and your pores won´t clog up.

Daily Skincare Step #1: Double Cleanse

You NEED to wash your face as part of your daily skincare evening routine. Use an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Then, use a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities.

Pro Tip: This method ensures a deep cleanse without stripping your skin.

Daily Skincare Step #2: Exfoliate (2-3 times a week)

This step is not for your daily skincare routine, but you should incorporate it into your evening skincare routine 2 – 3 times a week.

Buff Away

Use a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Avoid over-exfoliating to prevent irritation.

Pro Tip: Choose chemical exfoliants (like AHA/BHA) for a more even exfoliation.

Daily Skincare Step #3: Balance It Out with Your Toner

 Apply your toner again to prep your skin for the next steps.

Treatment Target Concerns

Apply treatment products such as retinoids, acne treatments, or anti-aging serums. Let them absorb fully before proceeding to the next step. If you start with a new treatment, introduce it slowly to see how your skin reacts.

Daily Skincare Step #4: Serum Boost Repair

Use a hydrating serum that targets specific concerns, such as fine lines or dark spots.

Daily Skincare Step #5: Eye Cream for Bright Eyes

Using an eye cream is advisable because the skin around our eyes is thinner and needs different nutrients than the skin on the rest of the face. To address puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines, apply the eye cream using your ring finger to gently pat the product around your eyes.

Pro Tip: Use eye creams with peptides and caffeine for extra benefits. 

• Peptides stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, and reduce fine lines while aiding skin repair and hydration.

• With its vasoconstrictive and antioxidant properties, caffeine reduces puffiness, minimizes dark circles by improving blood circulation, and protects the skin from free radical damage.

• These ingredients provide a comprehensive anti-aging solution, enhancing skin firmness, reducing puffiness, and brightening the under-eye area. Apply the cream twice daily by gently patting it around the eyes for best results.

Daily Skincare Step #6 Moisturize

Lock That Moisture In 

Use a richer moisturizer at night to help repair and renew your skin while you sleep. Look for ingredients like ceramides and peptides that help skin recovery.

Overnight Treatment

Extra Care: Consider an overnight mask or treatment once or twice weekly for added hydration and repair.

Daily Skincare Step #7 Weekly Boost Masks:

Treat Yourself: Use a face mask once or twice a week to give your skin an extra boost. Choose masks that address your skin concerns (hydrating, detoxifying, brightening).

Facial Massage to Relax and Rejuvenate: Incorporate a facial massage with a jade roller or gua sha tool to boost circulation and promote lymphatic drainage.

Daily Skincare Tips for Success

• Consistency is Key: Stick to your daily skincare routine to see the best results.
• Listen to Your Skin: Adjust your skincare routine based on how your skin feels and reacts.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
• Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and manage stress for overall skin health.
