The Perfect Skincare Routine: Morning & Night

Your skincare products are only as good as the order you use them in. Whether you're a skincare minimalist or a full-glam glow-getter, knowing when to apply each product can make all the difference, especially when it comes to mixing in makeup, masks, and retinol.

Let’s break it down, step-by-step:

Morning Skincare Routine (Pre-Makeup Glow)

Start your day with a clean, hydrated canvas that protects your skin and preps it for makeup or your makeup-free moment.

1. Cleanser
Start fresh. Use a gentle cleanser to remove overnight sweat, oil, and any leftover product.

2. Serum
Apply a lightweight serum with ingredients like vitamin C for brightening or hyaluronic acid for hydration. Serums are your targeted treatment step.

3. Cream
Lock in moisture and add a barrier between your skin and the outside world.

4. SPF
Always. Every day. No exceptions. Even if it’s cloudy. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

5. Makeup
Once your SPF has fully absorbed (wait 2–5 minutes), apply your makeup. Your skin is now prepped and protected.

Night Skincare Routine 

Nighttime is all about recovery and nourishment. Here's how to get the most from your PM ritual:

1. Cleanse (Double cleanse if you wore makeup)
Remove dirt, sweat, and makeup with a two-step cleanse first with an oil-based product, then a gentle cleanser.

2.1 Sheet Mask (2–3x per week)
Use a hydrating, soothing mask to deeply nourish your skin. We love:
– Ultra Hydration Mask for refresh and hydration

Pro tip: Don't rinse off, pat it in and let it absorb fully.

2.2 Retinol (Alternate nights)
On nights you skip the mask, apply retinol for anti-aging, acne, and cell turnover.
We suggest you don't mix sheet masks and retinol in the same routine  keep things calm.
