Morning and Night Skincare Routines: How to Create the Perfect Path for Your Skin

To determine your skin type, look at your natural skin and pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Normal: balanced, neither too dry nor too oily, without obvious imperfections.

• Dry: rough to the touch, with a tendency to crack and flake.

• Oily: shiny and greasy, with enlarged pores and a tendency to pimples and blackheads.

• Combination: Combination of dry and oily skin, usually oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry on the cheeks.

• Sensitive: reactive, with a tendency to redness, itching and irritation.

• Normal: Maintain your skin's balance with gentle products and light moisturizers.

• Dry: Look for products that are nourishing and rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

• Combination: Use specific products for different areas of the face, such as light moisturizers for the T-zone and more nourishing ones for the cheeks.

• Sensitive: Choose hypoallergenic products without perfumes or dyes to reduce the risk of irritation.

Your morning skincare routine is essential to prepare your skin for the challenges of the day. Here are the key steps:

• Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove impurities and sebum residue.

• Tone: Apply a toner to rebalance the skin's pH and remove any traces of cleanser.

• Serum: Use a serum that is specific to your skin’s needs, such as hydration, anti-aging, or even tone.

• Moisturizing: Apply a moisturizer that suits your skin type to keep it supple and hydrated.

• Sunscreen: Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

The evening routine is equally important, as it helps the skin to regenerate during the night.

Here are the recommended steps:

• Remove Makeup: Remove makeup with a gentle makeup remover suitable for your skin type to avoid the accumulation of impurities.

• Cleanse: Wash your face again with a cleanser specific to your skin type to remove any dirt and oil.

• Exfoliate (if needed): Use a gentle exfoliant suited to your skin type once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal.

• Tone: Apply a toner as in your morning routine, choosing one suitable for your skin type.

• Serum: Choose a night serum that promotes skin regeneration and is specific to your needs, such as a product based on retinol or hyaluronic acid.

• Hydration: Apply a nighttime moisturizer or hydrating mask specific to your skin type to nourish and replenish your skin overnight.
