Essential skincare routine
Regardless of your skin type, your skincare routine should contain a minimum of 4 products: a cleanser, an exfoliant, a day moisturiser with a minimum SPF of 30 and a night-time moisturiser. These are the core products required to meet all the basic needs of your skin to maintain its health and appearance for the short and long term.
Step 1: cleanser
The first essential step of every skincare routine is to cleanse. Cleansers remove dirt, excess sebum and makeup. When your face is clean, it allows the other products you use to work even better.

Step 2: exfoliant
A gentle leave-on exfoliant removes built-up layers of dead skin cells that cause dullness and clogged pores. When used as the second step in your routine, an exfoliant will leave your skin smooth, radiant, and younger-looking. After application, you don’t have to rinse it off and you can immediately follow with the rest of your routine.

Step 3: day moisturiser
The final and most critical step of your daytime routine is application of a moisturiser with SPF 30 or higher. SPF moisturisers keep your skin shielded from sun damage which is the No. 1 cause of wrinkles, brown spots, and other signs of ageing. Use as the last step of your morning routine.

Step 4: night moisturiser
A night cream should provide more than simple hydration. Packed with antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients that all help skin function better and look healthier. Use as the last step in your evening skincare routine for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Now that you’ve established a foundation, you can further personalise your routine by adding in one or more of the following skincare champions.
Toners
Use a toner after cleansing as the second step in your skincare routine. Toners with antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients (hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and fatty acids) will not only remove the last traces of makeup but also will provide benefits targeted to your specific skin concerns.

Serums
When you begin using a serum you’ll see improvements right away as their antioxidant-rich formulas soothe redness and brighten skin. Use your serum after your exfoliant.
