AM + PM Skincare Routine for Everyday

Mastering your AM + PM Skincare Routine for a Radiant Complexion

When it comes to skincare, timing is everything. How and when we apply our skincare products can significantly impact their effectiveness. Thus, understanding an AM & PM skincare routine can mean the difference between dull, aging skin, and a radiant, youthful complexion.

 

In this easy quick-read guide, we will explore some of the best times to apply skincare both in the morning and at night and how to build an effective routine tailored for your unique skin needs.

Why Time Matters in Skincare

 

Before diving into the specifics of creating an effective AM & PM skincare routine, let's consider why the time of day matters in skincare.

 

Morning skincare is all about prevention and protection, as the skin experiences different external attacks during the day.

 

On the other hand, nighttime skincare is all about rejuvenation - helping your skin repair and recover while you sleep.

AM Skincare Routine

 

Starting your day with a robust skincare routine is essential for healthy skin. Here is a step-by-step guide for creating a morning skincare routine:

 

1. Cleanser: Gently cleanse your face to remove any dirt or oils that gathered overnight. Now, some swear by not washing their faces off in the morning for an even dewier complexion, we will do our research on that in a later skin blog. For now, cleansing in the morning is ideal and effective.

2. Toner (Optional): Use a toner to balance your skin's pH levels directly following cleansing.

3. Eye Cream: Gently apply eye cream to tighten the under-eye area.

4. Moisturizer: Hydrate your skin with a good moisturizer.

5. Serum: Apply a silky-oil based brightening serum to lock in moisture and hydration from your moisturizer.
6. Sunscreen: Always finish with a generous amount of sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.

PM Skincare Routine

 

Your nighttime skincare routine should focus on addressing any specific skin issues you have and preparing your skin for overnight rejuvenation. Here is a great way to build your PM skincare routine:

1. Makeup Remover (Optional): If you wear makeup, start with an effective makeup remover.

2. Cleanser: Deep cleanse with your preferred cleanser to eliminate any residue from the day. Remember, harsh cleansers and soaps can strip your skin from natural oils present in the skin which can lead to stripped skin and collagen swelling. Please use gentle cleansers. 🌱

3. Exfoliate or Face Masque: (1-2 times a week) Use a gentle exfoliant or favorite treatment masque to slough off dead skin cells & treat your skin.

4. Toner (Optional): Apply toner just like you did in the morning.

5. Eye Cream: Pat in some eye cream before bed. HACK: If your moisturizer is great and eye-safe free, pat your moisturizer in around your eyes & skip using a dedicated eye cream if you want.

6. Moisturizer or Night Cream: Before locking everything in with a facial oil, finish with a rich moisturizer or nourishing night cream.

7. Serum: Use a nighttime serum, HYPER is suitable for both AM + PM use, locking in all of your previous skincare steps, hydration and goodness.

(Don't forget to give your skin some time to absorb each product before moving on to the next product.)

 

How to Build a Personalized AM & PM Skincare Routine

 

Everyone's skin is unique, and so the best AM & PM skincare routine is one tailored to your individual skin type and concerns. Here are some tips to create your personal skincare routine:

 

1. Determine Your Skin Type: Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin will dictate what type of products you should use.

2. Identify Your Skin Concerns: Is your primary concern acne, aging, pigmentation, sensitivity, or something else? This will help you choose targeted treatments for the best results.

3. Research: Use trustworthy resources to find products that are formulated for your skin type and concerns with clean, natural ingredients.
