Exfoliation
Use a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) or a physical scrub twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells.
This step reveals smoother skin and enhances the effectiveness of your hydrating products.
Hydrating toner
Apply a hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH and add an initial layer of hydration.
Look for toners with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or rose water.
Layering products
Use a serum containing hyaluronic acid or other hydrating ingredients to plump up your skin.
Follow this with an essence, which can further boost hydration and improve skin texture.
Moisturise
Opt for a lightweight but hydrating moisturiser.
Look for formulas that include ingredients such as squalane or ceramides, which help lock in moisture without feeling heavy on the skin.
Seal in the hydration
A few drops of face oil can give your skin an extra boost of nourishment and create a radiant finish.
This step is crucial for achieving that coveted glow.
Daily SPF
Protecting your skin from UV damage is essential for maintaining a clear and bright complexion.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to shield your skin from harmful rays.
Makeup application
If you choose to wear makeup, opt for lightweight formulations.
A tinted moisturiser or BB cream can enhance your natural glow without hiding your skin.
Use highlighters sparingly to accentuate the high points of your face.
