Morning Skincare routine

Cleanser. A cleanser will emoves grime and residue that’s built up overnight.
Moisturiser. Mositerising is important to hydrates the skin.
Sunscreen. A sunscreen is essential for protecting the skin against the damaging effects of the sun.

Step 1: Cleansing should be the first step to any skincare routine

Cleansing your skin in the morning and in the evening is a easy wasy to keep your pores clear and your face fresh. A great cleanser will rid your skin of dirt and impurities without leaving your skin feeling dry. A cleansing oil will melt away make-up without drying out your skin. There are so many different types of cleansers, the right one depends on your skin type and personal preference.

Step 2: Toning helps to prep the skin

Toners are designed to replenish skin through hydration, they also help to remove dead cells and dirt left behind after cleansing. Apply a toner when your skin is still damp after cleansing. Soak a cotton pad or cotton ball in the toner and wipe upwards, starting at your neck. Avoid harsh alcohol or citrus-based toners as they can damage and irritate your skin.

Step 3: Moisturising your skin should not be missed out

Mositurising regular will help to protect your skin from losing moisture and leave it feeling supple, hydrated and plump! Wait at least 10 minutes before applying make-up so the cream can absorb. That’s it, you’re ready to start your simple daily skincare routine!

A Few Extra Tips

A Serum: If your face is feeling a little tight or dry, a serum will hydrate the skin and help plump it.
Eye care: Now use your ring finger to gently tap a light eye cream around the eye area as a refreshing treat on tired and sleepy eyes.
Double cleanse: After wearing make-up it’s important to cleanse a couple of times, first to remove the make-up and dirt, and secondly to make sure it’s squeaky clean before applying moisturizer.
Moisturise: A heavier natural moisturiser for nighttime can work its magic while you sleep. A thicker eye cream can help with dryness or the appearance of wrinkles. Apply gently by tapping with your ring finger.
Lip balm: Treat your lips to a soothing natural balm before bed to prevent any flakiness.
Exfoliating: Weekly is key to clear, glowing skin as it removes flaky and dead skin cells that cause blemishes and dullness. Natural body scrubs use tiny particles to gently remove dead skin cells from your skin revealing the brighter skin underneath. When exfoliating will keep your skin feeling calm, soft and smooth. Be careful not to overdo it though as this can strip the natural oils, two to three times a week is more than enough.
