A Derm-Approved AM to PM Skincare Routine For Glowing Skin

"For radiant, glowing skin, you must get onto a structured skincare routine ASAP. Additionally, if you suffer from skin ailments such as pigmentation or acne, the products that you use must be carefully picked, to suit your skin condition."

IN THE AM & PM - Your skincare routine must start with basic cleansing in the morning. For oily or acne-prone skin, use a salicylic acid based face wash, such as Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam or Mama Earth Tea Tree Facewash. You must use this cleanser twice a day, both in the morning and at night.

IN THE AM & PM

IN THE AM & PM - For dry or sensitive skin, you can use a cleanser such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or Uriage Crème Lavante Nourishing and Cleansing Cream. You must use this cleanser twice a day, both in the morning and at night.

IN THE AM & PM

IN THE AM - Post cleansing, one must make use of an essence that contains volcanic water-rich minerals, and penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, rejuvenating the skin and improving its overall texture.

IN THE AM - After application of a micro-essence, apply a light moisturiser and top it up with a sunscreen, giving both UVA and UVB protection. Did you know that the sun's UV rays can cause serious sun-damage, skin allergies, tanning, pigmentation, and skin sensitivity? YES. Thereby, it is essential that you apply and re-apply sunscreen repeatedly, throughout the day.

IN THE AM

IN THE AM - For example, Fotoprotector fusion-water by ISDIN is a broad spectrum, light weight, water-based sunscreen which sits well on your skin and does not cake with application of makeup. Neither does it feel sticky, nor does it form a whitish coat over the skin when applied!

IN THE PM - The first thing you must do, when commencing your night-time routine, is to ensure that you remove all your makeup. Following this, use a cleanser to deep cleanse and remove all the excess oils, dirt and grime from the skin’s surface and pores. (You can make use of the same cleanser that you did in the morning.)

IN THE PM

IN THE PM - Post removal of makeup and cleansing, dab a Vitamin C enriched serum under the eye to prevent dark circles.

IN THE PM

IN THE PM - It is important to moisturise at night too! Remember to apply a night cream, before you hit the bed. For acne-prone skin, use an anti-acne cream prescribed by your dermatologist, followed by a gel-based moisturizer, instead of the Vitamin C serum and night cream.
