Did you know your skin has different needs at different times of the day? This is why your morning and evening routines should be distinctly different. Think of it like dressing for the weather... you wouldn’t wear the same outfit for a sunny day as you would for a cool evening.
Morning SkincareWhen you wake up, your focus should be on protection and preparation. Your skin is about to face environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution, and temperature changes, so your skincare should help defend and maintain hydration.
A gentle cleanse (or simply a splash of water if your skin is dry or sensitive) helps remove overnight sweat and oil. Follow this with a hydrating toner or mist, then a lightweight moisturiser packed with antioxidants like Vitamin E to help combat free radicals.
The non-negotiable final step? Sunscreen. Natural mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide shield your skin from premature ageing and sun damage.
Evening SkincareNight-time is all about repair and renewal. While you sleep, your skin works to regenerate, making this the ideal time to feed it nutrient-rich, restorative ingredients.
Start your bedtime routine with a thorough cleanse to remove sunscreen, makeup, and the impurities from the day... consider a double cleanse using a natural oil cleanser - think Almond Sweet oil or Jojoba oil. Followed by a gentle foaming or cream cleanser, depending on your skin-feel preference.
Next, use a nourishing serum or facial oil with ingredients like Calendula Infused oil or Lavender and Chamomile to hydrate and soothe. Finally, a rich night cream or even a balm can help lock in moisture and support your skin’s overnight rejuvenation.
The Bottom LineMorning skincare sets your skin up for the day ahead, while evening skincare supports its natural healing process. By tailoring your routine to the time of day, you’ll not only protect your skin but also help it look and feel its healthiest, naturally.
