To achieve clear, glowing skin just in time for back to work (or school), here are some simple yet effective steps and routines to follow:
Morning Routine
Gentle Cleanser: Use a cleanser suitable for your skin type (gel for oily skin, milk for dry skin).
Moisturizing Toner: To wake up the skin and tighten pores.
Vitamin C Serum: Brightens the complexion, reduces dark spots, and protects against external aggressions.
Light Moisturizer: Choose a non-comedogenic formula.
SPF 30+ Sunscreen: Essential even in fall to prevent dark spots and aging.
Evening Routine
Double Cleansing: Makeup remover oil + gentle cleanser to remove makeup and pollution.
Gentle Exfoliation (twice a week): Acids (AHA/BHA) or enzymatic scrub for a smooth complexion.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Niacinamide: Hydrates and evens out the complexion.
Nourishing Night Cream: To repair the skin while you sleep.
Additional Gestures
Moisturizing or Radiance Masks (1-2 times per week) depending on the condition you wish to treat
Facial Massage: Use a roller or gua sha tool to stimulate circulation.
Internal Hydration: Drink enough water and eat foods rich in antioxidants (red fruits, green vegetables, nuts).
Restorative Sleep: 7-8 hours per night for rested skin.
