STEP 1. CLEANSE

A good cleanse is the first step to achieving a clear and glowing complexion. Foam cleansers are ideal for removing oil, layers of make-up and even stubborn sunscreen, and are best for those with normal-to-combination skin types. Cream cleansers are suited for dry and sensitive skin, as they are gentle and moisturising.

STEP 2. TONE

Most people choose to skip toners, partly because there’s a lingering assumption that most toners are harsh and irritate the skin. Fortunately, that’s not the case anymore. While they don’t physically “shrink” pores, the new breed of toners can serve multiple purposes, like act as a delivery system for antioxidants, vitamin B derivatives and even toning acids. Additionally, each type of toner is intended for a different skin issue, so it’s important to use the right kind for your skin concern.

STEP 3. SERUM OR OIL

What they are - These fierce formulas are packed with powerful active ingredients and because they are lightweight and easily absorbed they can penetrate deeper, delivering vital ingredients to the skin more effectively. Why you need one - Serums address specific skincare concerns and actually boost your existing skincare routine.

STEP 4. EYES

Find the perfect formula for you
It’s best to dab on the product as opposed to rubbing, which can cause more damage to the delicate skin. When choosing your eye formula, look out for ingredients that encourage collagen production to make your skin appear more youthful and plump. Niacinamide, retinol and caffeine are all ingredients that will help decrease puffiness by constricting blood vessels.

STEP 5. DAILY MOISTURE

Throughout the day, the skin is subjected to damaging UV rays, pollution, environmental stresses, and make-up, so it’s wise to invest in a day cream that is designed to support and protect the skin. When choosing a formula look out for one that contains SPF to protect you from the sun, and antioxidants to fight free radicals. When it comes to the formula’s consistency, opt for a lighter lotion that is easily absorbed, allowing your pores to breathe and your make-up to glide on easily.
