A simple morning and night routine for changing skin

Texture of a lightweight day cream

When your skin starts to feel different, it's tempting to buy more: more serums, more steps, more promises. Often the opposite helps. A short, gentle routine is easier to stick to, and if something doesn't agree with your skin, it's much easier to find out what.

Morning: about one minute

  1. Rinse or cleanse gently. Lukewarm water is often enough in the morning. If you use a cleanser, choose a mild one.
  2. Moisturize. A lightweight cream that absorbs quickly works well under makeup. Our Day Cream is made for this step.
  3. Sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on all uncovered skin, every day.[1] Don't skip this step, also not in winter.

Evening: about one minute

  1. Remove makeup gently. No rubbing or tugging. A two-phase remover like our Makeup Remover lifts makeup in a few soft strokes.
  2. Cleanse if needed, with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water.
  3. Moisturize with a richer cream. Skin often feels tighter by the end of the day. A cushioning night cream such as our Night Cream, with mango seed butter and jojoba oil, helps it feel comfortable overnight.

Three small rules that help

  • Moisturize while skin is slightly damp, right after washing.[2]
  • Introduce one new product at a time and patch test it first.
  • Choose fragrance-free, as dermatologists recommend for dry and easily irritated skin.[1][2]

What about retinol and actives?

Some women use products with retinol or other actives, and the AAD mentions retinol or peptides as options for wrinkles.[1] For dry skin, however, the AAD advises caution with retinoids.[2] If you want to add actives, ask a dermatologist how to combine them with your routine. A simple, fragrance-free moisturizer fits alongside most routines.

Start simple
