My Morning Skincare Routine

The main goal of a morning skincare routine is to refresh the skin and provide proper hydration. During winter months, I prefer a richer moisturizer.

My Morning Routine Steps

1. Cleansing I wash my face with cold water — it refreshes the skin and helps minimize the appearance of pores.

2. Face Mist I wake up my skin with a refreshing facial mist after cleansing.

3. Toner Toner preps the skin to better absorb serums.

4. Eye Cream I apply eye cream before my serums — eye-specific products are best applied to the target area first.

5. Niacinamide Serum I use this daily — it helps manage oiliness and the appearance of pores on my combination skin.

6. Vitamin C Serum Antioxidant protection and radiance in the morning routine — it also boosts the effectiveness of sunscreen.

7. Moisturizer A richer cream in winter, a gel formula in summer. I apply it a few minutes after the serums.

8. Sunscreen The last and most important step of the morning routine. I currently use a cream-textured, fast-absorbing sunscreen that minimizes shine.
