Skincare routine

Overview

This is a guide to my skincare routine for those who might not know where to start. It may seem like a lot of steps, but I’ve been building this up over the years. I’ve tried many products and pruned the steps that dermatologists deem unnecessary. I also live in a climate with a high UV index, so I use a double cleanse method to remove the sunscreen residue. If you don’t apply sunscreen daily or throughout the day, use discretion on that step. You could just use the gentle cleanser and not the oil-based one.

Morning: Protect & Prevent

1. Use the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser in the shower
2. Once out of the shower and face is dry, apply Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
3. Apply La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum
4. Apply Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster
5. Apply the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser
6. Finish with CeraVe Invisible Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Evening: Cleanse & Rejuvenate

1. Use the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser
2. Gently pat your face completely dry
3. Wait 10-15 minutes for skin to be fully dry

Occasional: Nights with no actives
