Skincare Routine
Morning Routine
1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove oil and dirt from your skin.
2. Niacinamide Serum: Apply a few drops to control oil production, minimize pores, and improve skin
texture.
3. Hyaluronic Acid: Use a small amount on damp skin to lock in moisture and boost hydration.
4. Vitamin B5 Moisturizer: Apply to keep your skin hydrated and soothed throughout the day.
5. Sunscreen (SPF 55+): Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UV rays. Apply
generously 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
Evening Routine
1. Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser to remove the day's dirt and sunscreen.
2. Alpha Arbutin Serum: Apply a few drops to target dark spots and uneven skin tone. Let it absorb
for a minute.
3. Retinol Serum: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face to improve skin texture and reduce signs of
aging. (Use only 2-3 times a week initially, then increase as tolerated.)
4. Under Eye Cream: Dab a small amount under your eyes to target dark circles and puffiness.
5. Vitamin B5 Moisturizer: Lock in hydration by applying this as the last step.
Tips
- Patch Test: Always patch-test new products to ensure they suit your skin.
- Introduce Retinol Gradually: Start using it twice a week to avoid irritation, then increase frequency
as your skin builds tolerance.
- Hydration: Use hyaluronic acid on damp skin to maximize its effect.
- Consistency: Follow this routine consistently for at least 6-8 weeks to see noticeable results.
- Sunscreen is Key: Retinol and alpha arbutin make your skin sensitive to sunlight, so daily
sunscreen is non-negotiable.
