1. Wash only with Water  

• When you wake up, you must cleanse your skin only with water. Do not use cleanser because water alone will replenish your dehydrated skin and removes impurities that build up during the night.

• Water alone would not hydrate your skin completely. It is very important to apply toner because it helps to balance pH levels on your skin. Also, it builds a foundation for absorption of next products that follow.

• Now it is a time to target specific problems on your skin, if you have particular skin concerns such as wrinkles, dark spots and pimple choose serums or ampoules designed to treat your specific skin trouble.

4. Moisturizer

• Most important part of morning routine is applying a moisturizer to create a thin layer of a barrier to lock in moisture for all-day hydration. It is best to use Sunscreen after but to minimize the time for those busy days, use Moisturizer with SPF sun protection. This allows bypassing sunscreen but if you are planning to be outside for a while applying sunscreen is always the right choice.

5. Sunscreens

• When you go outside, whether you go to work or shopping, you must wear sunscreen. It is most effective and simple way to protect your skin against aging and skin cancer. Skincare routine in any form, you must finish off with sunscreen or BB cream with SPF.
