How To Build The Perfect Skincare Routine
Looking after our skin not only helps us to look great, it helps us to feel great too. Read on to learn how to build a skincare routine that’s perfect for your skin type and concerns.
Step 1: Cleanse r
Cleansing is arguably the most important step in a morning and evening skincare routine. Throughout the day, impurities and pollutants accumulate on the skin’s surface, which we need to regularly remove in order to avoid congested pores. Our skin also creates build-up as we sleep, so it’s just as important to cleanse your face both morning and night.

Step 2: Toner
Toner should be used after you cleanse your face. What does toner do? It helps keep skin feeling thoroughly clean, clear and fresh while also restoring balance and hydration in the skin. To use a toner, simply apply to a cotton ball or pad, and lightly dab across your face and neck. Refrain from rubbing into skin as this may cause irritation.

Step 3 : Serum
Serums are highly concentrated with key ingredients and are used to achieve a range of results, including hydration and skin-brightening. You should always apply your serum after your toner, to ensure that it can effectively penetrate your skin.

Step 4: Eye cream
The skin around the eye area is thinner and more delicate than other areas of the face, and therefore requires a little extra care. Our targeted treatments and eye creams will help reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and puffiness, for eyes that look brighter and more awake.
Step 5: Moisturise r
Moisturiser gives your skin the hydration it needs to maintain its elasticity - the key to youthful looking skin. Apply moisturiser after you have applied your serum, as it will form a protective barrier on the skin’s surface and lock in the active ingredients from the serum.
For an even more effective skincare routine, consider supplementing your regimen with a night cream. These are formulated specifically for when you sleep, with higher concentrations of ingredients to work their magic while you rest.
Step 6: Face Mask
Whether you’re looking for a deep clean or to maximize hydration, add a targeted face mask to your skincare routine. Unlike cleansing and toning, using a face mask every day is not recommended, as overuse can cause the skin to be stripped of its natural protective barrier. For best results, try using a face mask twice weekly.
