✅ Morning Routine

Skincare Routine

Cleanser – Wash away oil, sweat, and nighttime products.
- Use a gentle cleanser (gel for oily skin, cream for dry skin).
Toner (optional) – Balances skin’s pH and preps it for serums.
- Choose alcohol-free formulas with calming or hydrating ingredients.
Serum – Targets specific concerns like dullness, wrinkles, or acne.
- Vitamin C in the morning helps brighten and protect.
Moisturizer – Hydrates and seals in previous layers.
- Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic one if you have oily skin.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+ daily) – Most important step.
- Broad-spectrum SPF protects against premature aging and skin cancer.

✅ Nighttime Routine

Skincare Routine

Cleanser – Removes makeup, sunscreen, and dirt.
Double cleanse (oil cleanser first, then regular cleanser) if you wear makeup or SPF.
Exfoliant (2–3x per week) – Removes dead skin cells.
Use chemical exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) for a gentler, deeper effect than scrubs.
Toner (optional)
Treatment/Serum – Focus on concerns like acne, aging, or dark spots.
Examples: Retinol (anti-aging/acne), niacinamide (pores/redness), hyaluronic acid (hydration).
Moisturizer – Heavier at night if your skin is dry.
Look for ceramides or peptides for skin barrier support.
Eye Cream (optional) – For puffiness or dark circles.
