Are you ready to start your day with glowing skin?
Your morning skincare routine sets the tone for the day ahead, giving your skin with the nourishment and protection it needs to look and feel its best. In this guide, I will walk you through each step of the process, from cleansing to moisturizing, using tried-and-tested products by me. Follow along step by step for a brighter looking skin.
Step 1: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser
Start your morning skincare ritual by gently cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Some By Mi Beta Panthenol Repair Gel Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or any other gentle cleanser you have. These gentle formulas help to remove excess oil without irritating the skin of its natural moisture, leaving your skin clean and refreshed.
Step 2: Tone with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water
After cleansing, mist your face with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water.
Thermal water spray is rich in minerals and antioxidants, providing instant hydration and calming relief for sensitive skin. Pat gently to absorb excess moisture.
Step 3 : Apply Vitamin C Serum
Next, brighten and protect your skin with a vitamin C serum. Vitamin C helps to protect the skin from damage and promote a more even skin tone. Apply a few drops of your favorite Korean vitamin C serum, SkinCeuticals or any other vitamin c serum you use to your freshly cleansed skin, gently massage it in until fully absorbed about 1-2 minutes.
