The order your products go on matters more than the number of steps.
A good routine isn't about owning ten products. It's about using a few of the right ones in the right order, every day.
Morning: protect
- Cleanse gently, or simply rinse if your skin is dry
- Antioxidant serum such as vitamin C
- Moisturiser
- SPF 30 or higher — every single day
Evening: repair
- Double cleanse to remove SPF and makeup
- Treatment step: retinal, exfoliating acid or niacinamide
- A richer moisturiser or facial oil
Introduce one new active at a time and give it four to six weeks before you judge the results. If your skin feels tight or stings, step back to the basics for a few days.
