However if you want to build your own skincare regime keep reading for a quick guide on the basics of how to build a typical morning and evening routine.
AM
- Cleanser: In the morning, a light cleanser will gently wash away oils produced overnight, leaving your skin prepared for morning skincare.
- Direct Acid/ Toner: A light sweep of a direct acid or hydrating toner can help other active ingredients in your regime to penetrate better into the skin.
- Target Serum: This could be a peptide or a booster serum to target a specific skincare concern. Depending on whether your target serum is oil, water or emulsion based, it may layer before or after your vitamin C.
- Vitamin C: Vitamin C, an exceptionally powerful antioxidant, is vital to apply in the morning to protect your delicate skin from environmental damage throughout the day.
- Moisturiser and Sunscreen: Keep your skin protected from damaging UV rays and sun damage, which can cause premature ageing. All SPFs available in Clinic combine your moisturiser and sunscreen into just one easy step, without clogging your skin.
PM
- Cleanser: You may want to Double Cleanse your face, particularly if you wear heavier make up, to ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed. You can do this by using a heavier, oil or cream cleanser, before using a lighter foam, mousse or gel cleanser.
- Vitamin A: The skin is most active at night, when skin cell regeneration becomes supercharged. This makes it the ideal time to use vitamin A serums which also speed up skin cell renewal. Certain vitamin A’s can be deactivated by sunlight, so always incorporate your retinol or retinal serum into your nighttime routine.
- Moisturiser: Overnight is also the ideal time to rehydrate, as richer moisturisers have time to sink deep into your skin. Opt for a heavier moisturiser than you would use in the daytime to truly nourish and rejuvenate delicate skin as you sleep.
We are here to help you navigate through, and our best advice is always to keep it simple. Consistency is key, so finding a regime that is practical for you will mean you’re more likely to keep up with the regime and see the benefits in your skin!
