Caring for your skin at home

Having a good skincare routine at home is essential for maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Our skin is not only the body's largest organ but also its first line of defence against environmental pollutants and harmful UV rays.

A proper skincare regimen helps protect the skin's barrier function, prevent premature ageing, and address specific skin concerns such as acne, dryness, or hyperpigmentation.

Beyond the aesthetic benefits, a consistent skincare routine contributes to overall well-being by boosting self-confidence and promoting self-care habits. In this fast-paced world, taking the time to care for your skin at home can be a valuable act of self-love and preservation.

Top tips for an effective skincare routine

Choose a simple product lineup that creates a routine that you will stick to. Consistency is key to getting results.

All great skincare routines begin with a gentle, but effective cleanser. Use a cleanser that is gentle on the skin to remove make-up, dirt and impurities. It's important to clean your skin both morning and night.
Double cleanse in the evenings to ensure skin is clean before bed.

No skincare routine is complete without SPF. Try to pick a minimum of SPF 30 for use every morning, and use it all year round.
Using an SPF is your main protection from environmental damage and age prevention. Damage from the sun has the biggest impact on how your skin ages. Apply an SPF as your final step after your moisturiser or pick a moisturiser that contains great protection. SPF in your make-up alone will not offer enough protection as it does not offer even protection across the whole face and neck.

Why do you need to use skincare at night? Your skin repairs itself as you sleep. So ensuring that it is cleansed from the day's activities and moisturised gives your skin round-the-clock care. This is also the perfect time to use products aimed at treating your key concerns.

Add a serum to your lineup, serums penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and can be the first step in reaching your skincare goals. Choose a serum that treats your main skin concern and use it daily under your day and / or night cream.
Consistency is key when it comes to skincare.
