Hello
Everyone,
Today I am
sharing my morning skincare routine with you guys. I like to keep it simple and quick
in the morning. I don’t want to faff around with too many products in the
morning and this routine has been working out for me. These products are the
main products that I use everyday. Apart from these I use a couple of other
products as and when required and I will tell you about them as well.
Cleansers:
I thoroughly cleanse my face in the night but still I like to cleanse my face
in the morning to kick start my day. I prefer using gentle cleansers in the
morning and my all time favourite for that is Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion. It is
really gentle on your skin and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. I massage it
all over my face and neck for about 20 – 30 seconds and rinse it off with lukewarm water. Other product that I like to use is Garnier Micellar Water. Just pour
it on a cotton pad and wipe your face with it and you are good to go on with
the next step.
Eye Cream:
Using an eye cream is really important. Don’t skip this step and I recommend
start using one as soon as you are in your twenties. Precaution is better cure
guys. I have yet to find the one that I really love. Currently I am using L300 Anti Age Firming Eye Cream.
I have not used it for that long so can’t say much about if it works on dark
circles or reduces fine lines. But what I can say is it keep my under eye area
well moisturised and sits well under makeup.
Serum: I
love using serums and just can’t do without one. I have dry and dehydrated skin
so I go for the hydrating ones. Clarins Hydraquench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase is
a great product but it is a pricey one. More affordable options that really
work are Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate and Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum Vichy
Moisturiser:
After serum I move on to applying moisturiser. During the day and especially in
summers I don’t like using heavy creams and I prefer using one with SPF. I am
using the Formula 10.0.6 Picture Perfect Day Daily Moisturiser with SPF15. I discovered this product last year and I am on my
second tube. I like how simple yet effective this product is. Doesn’t make any
huge claims, moisturises nicely and provides a bit of sun protection as well.
I don’t
use toner on daily basis. I have made an apple cider vinegar toner and use it
when I have any active breakouts or if I feel like using one, otherwise I skip
this step. Apart from that if my eyes are really puffy in the morning I apply
aloe vera gel as soon as I get up and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. I find
it helps with puffiness and if you store aloe vera gel in fridge, results are
even better. If I am at home then I don't apply sunscreen separately but if I am going out I apply SPF 30 before doing my makeup.
Hope you
