Are you a person who needs routine? If you are, does that need also apply to skincare? Well, if you don’t already know, having a skincare routine is an essential step to keeping your skin healthy and beautiful. In addition, you also need to keep in mind that your morning skincare routine is different from your nighttime one. So, with that in mind, today we are going to show you what are the cosmetics you MUST add to your daily morning skincare routine!
GUIDE TO A PERFECT MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE
When it comes to skincare, less is more. You just need to make sure that the products you are using are high-quality ones! On the guide below, you can see that there are only 5 steps you really need to add to your routine[1]Bishop, J. (2019, September 26). Morning Skincare Routine. The Everygirl. https://theeverygirl.com/morning-skincare-routine/ – most of them are also used in your night skincare routine.
- FACIAL CLEANSER
Every proper skincare routine starts with making sure your face is clean. So, after a good night of sleep, the first thing you should do is use a facial cleanser to get rid of oil and other impurities that may have appeared during the night!
You can either use only a non-oily cleanser or begin by washing your face with an oil cleanser and then moving on to a non-oily one. Make sure you use lukewarm water, as hot water makes your pores open, and cold water can dry your skin! To finish, gently dry your face with a washcloth.
- FACE TONER
Although a lot of people skip this product, toner is really important. After washing your face, it’s time to balance your skin pH – and the toner is the product that is going to do that! Not only does it balance your skin, but it also helps to hydrate it. To apply it, you can either use a thin cotton pad or apply it directly to your face using your fingers (just put a small amount of toner in your fingertips and then press it gently to your skin).
- SERUM
Nowadays, everybody is talking about serums! These products are basically a miracle in form of a cosmetic – an expensive miracle, though. But as we go on with our days, our skin is exposed to several different damaging factors, such as sun exposure and pollution. That’s why you need to make sure you protect it and repair the damages it already has by applying a serum.
There a lot of types of serums, such as antioxidant serum, antiacne, skin brightening serums, and hydrating ones. The difference between them is their main component. A great option, to begin with, is a vitamin C serum, that will make your skin brighter and hydrated!
- MOISTURIZER
With so many things your skin is exposed to (sun, pollution, and makeup, to name a few), it needs a lot of hydration and repairing! Besides serum, a SUPER important part of your morning skincare routine is moisturizer. There are various types of facial moisturizers (you can learn more about them on this other post), so make sure you choose one that suits your skin type, ok?
- SUNSCREEN
To finish your skincare routine in the morning, apply sunscreen! Opt for one with an SPF of at least 30, and apply it even if the sky is gray! And if sunscreen isn’t a part of your routine, add to it NOW! Years from now, you’ll thank yourself for applying it everyday…
So, was your morning skincare routine already like this? The products we talked about are fundamental to keeping your skin healthy, and guaranteeing that it will continue that way in the future. Instead of seeing skincare as a chore, see it as a way of taking care of yourself! And if you want to make sure you’re completely “selfcaring”, make sure you go to Metro Brazil’s website! There you can find several amazing beauty products from the best Brazilian brands!
