Having a nighttime skincare routine is just as important as a morning skincare routine. At night our skin needs to recover or repair while you are asleep. Day time skincare is used to protect and preserve the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and sun damage.
Nighttime skincare routines can also be lengthy with multiple steps. I don’t know about you, but I definitely don’t have time for that in the morning. If you follow these easy steps you too can achieve flawless skin.

Cleansing Oil
The first thing you want to do in your morning skincare routine is to remove any product buildup from your nighttime skincare routine. Start by using an oil-based cleanser and warming up the product between your palms. Then gently massage into your skin and rinse with warm water.

Water-Based Cleanser
Next follow up with a water-based cleanser with a low pH. This will wash away any excess dirt and oil. These are great to have in your morning skincare routine because it will help to throughly cleanse your skin without causing irritation.
Toner
Honestly, I never understood the point of using a toner in my nighttime or morning skincare routine. As I have gained more knowledge about skincare, I learned that toner can help balance your skin’s pH. It is also supposed to be hydrating and work with the other skincare products. I like to apply this on to a cotton ball and gently sweep it across my face and neck.
Serum
Applying serum is my favorite step of my routine because there are so many on the market that do so many different things for your skin. I like to use Hyaluronic Acid Serum for added hydration. Hyaluronic Acid is great for oily skin because it is deeply hydrating and helps keep excess oil production under control.

Moisturizer
Now it’s time to lock in all those great products you’ve applied. Applying moisturizer is an important step because it helps to further hydrate the skin.
Sunscreen
This is the most important step in your routine, if you don’t do anything else, make sure you apply sunscreen!
What does your morning skincare routine look like?
