🌸 Spring Skincare 🌸
Morning Skincare Routine ☀️
I’ve been trying something new where I don’t use cleanser in the morning. I just wash my face with water and then apply my skincare as normal.
Step 1: The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum (wait 5 minutes)
Step 2: CosRx Snail Mucin Essence (wait 5 minutes)
Step 3: Elf Aloe Mist (refresh)
Step 4: La Roche-Posay Moisturizer
Nighttime Skincare Routine 🌕
I’ll cleanse my face with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane cleanser when I shower before applying any products.
Step 1: Glow Recipe PHA/AHA Toner or Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops (I’ll alternate every night between the two)
Step 2: Wait 5-10 minutes to let the serum or toner set
Step 3: Elf Aloe Mist (to rehydrate the skin) - I skip this step if I use the niacinamide serum
Step 4: CeraVe Moisturizer
(I’m trying to finish the bottle so I use it at night but I am switching to the my morning moisturizer full time when it’s done 😅)
As spring arrives, it's essential to adjust your skincare routine to meet the changing needs of your skin. With warmer weather, you might find that lightweight products are more suitable. In the morning, washing with just water can help your skin retain its natural oils, making it a great start for busy days. For a morning routine that promotes hydration and barrier support, consider using products like The Ordinary's Soothing & Barrier Support Serum followed by CosRx's Snail Mucin Essence. These products are known for their soothing properties, enhancing skin resilience against environmental stressors. After applying, allow each product a few minutes to absorb before moving on to a refreshing mist, like Elf Aloe Mist. In the evening, cleansing your skin with a gentle formula, such as La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Cleanser, prepares your face for nourishing treatments. Alternating between Glow Recipe’s PHA/AHA Toner and the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops can improve skin texture and tone. Make sure to give your skin time to absorb these active ingredients effectively. Don't forget to finish your skincare routine with a moisturizing product that caters to your skin type. CeraVe Moisturizer is an excellent choice for those transitioning to a heavier moisturizer to combat spring's drying effects. Experiment with different combinations during this season for optimal results, and remember that consistency is key to achieving the healthy glow you desire!
