Skincare routine
A well-structured routine helps you take consistent care of your skin and makes it easier to choose products based on its needs.
1. Cleaning 🫧
☀️MORNING AND 🌙 EVENING
Cleansing removes dirt, excess oil, SPF, and makeup, and prepares the skin for further care.
Cleansers are designed for daily skin cleansing. They remove sweat, dirt, and excess oil. In the morning, a cleanser alone is usually sufficient, while in the evening, it is used as the primary or second step of cleansing.
Cleansing oils and balms best dissolve makeup, SPF, and oil-soluble impurities. They are usually used in the evening as the first step of a double cleanse, after which the skin is washed with a cleanser.
2. Toner or essence 💦
☀️MORNING AND 🌙 EVENING
Provides the skin with extra moisture and prepares it for further skincare steps.
A toner usually has a lighter texture and is used immediately after cleansing to hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin.
An essence is typically more concentrated and designed for additional hydration and targeted skincare. It is generally used after or instead of a toner, depending on the product.
3. Serum or ampoule 💧
☀️MORNING AND / OR 🌙 EVENING
Targeted skincare products chosen according to skin needs: for hydration, brightening, or the treatment of pigmentation, redness, pores, or signs of aging.
Serum usually has a lighter texture and is suitable for daily care.
Ampoule is typically more concentrated and intended for more intensive, targeted skin care.
4. Eye cream 💧
AS NEEDED
An optional step for the delicate eye area. Eye cream can help provide moisture and address fine lines or dull skin around the eyes.
5. Face cream 🧴
☀️MORNING AND 🌙 EVENING
Helps retain moisture and maintain the skin's protective barrier.
6. SPF protection ☀️
☀️MORNING AND REAPPLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY
The final step of your morning skincare routine. Helps protect the skin from UV rays, pigmentation, and signs of premature skin aging.
It is recommended to reapply sun protection throughout the day as needed and according to the product's usage instructions.
7. Lip care 👄
AS NEEDED
Lip care products help moisturize, soften, and protect lips from drying out. You can use a balm or a lighter treatment during the day, and a richer balm or lip mask in the evening.
Additional care
Facial mist 💦
AS NEEDED
A lightweight product to hydrate and refresh the skin. Can be used after facial cleansing, between other skincare steps, or throughout the day whenever the skin needs extra comfort and moisture.
Masks and cushions 🫧
AS NEEDED
Use on clean skin, typically after cleansing and toning, before applying serum and face cream.
It is usually most convenient to use them in the evening, but hydrating or soothing masks and pads can also be used in the morning if your skin needs extra moisture or comfort.
It is generally recommended to use them 1–3 times a week, depending on the product type and skin needs. Hydrating or soothing products can be used more frequently if the product instructions allow.
Pimple patches 🩹
AS NEEDED
Use for targeted care of individual pimples. Helps protect the affected area from touching and external impurities, while hydrocolloid patches can absorb secretions.
Best applied to clean, dry skin before applying serums or creams to the area.
They can be used whenever a single pimple appears; replace according to the product instructions or when the patch becomes full / loses adhesion.
