Your skin doesn’t need the same care in the morning as it does at night. Each time of day comes with its own environmental stressors and skincare goals. Here’s how to build the ideal routine for both:

☀️ Morning Routine Goals

  • Protect against UV rays and pollution
  • Hydrate to maintain the skin barrier
  • Prep the skin for makeup or sun exposure

Recommended morning products:

  • Gentle cleanser
  • Lightweight toner or essence
  • Antioxidant serum (e.g., Vitamin C)
  • Moisturizer
  • Broad-spectrum SPF 50+

🌙 Night Routine Goals

  • Repair skin damage from the day
  • Deeply hydrate with richer textures
  • Boost renewal with active ingredients

Recommended night products:

  • Oil-based cleanser + gel cleanser (double cleansing)
  • Hydrating toner
  • Serum with peptides or retinol (if tolerated)
  • Nourishing moisturizer or sleeping mask

🔁 Why Separate Routines Matter

Your skin has different needs based on your exposure to light, pollution, and the body’s natural repair cycle. A tailored routine helps prevent premature aging, irritation, and dullness.
