A Simple Skincare Routine To Stay Radiant All Day Long

There’s no doubt that committing to a regular skincare routine will improve the appearance of skin, so by choosing the right ingredients and products for your skins needs, you’ll improve texture, tone, and radiance. When you’re on holiday, soaking up the last of the summer sun, you want your routine to be minimalistic; no drama, no unnecessary steps, just an easy routine that will keep you looking effortlessly radiant all day long.

You just need to remember to cleanse morning and night, apply a vitamin C serum in the morning to restore glow, and follow with a hydrating moisturiser. Don’t worry though Glossies, we’ve got your back! We’ve put together a simple skincare routine for you to follow to ensure your skin stays radiant all day, what more could you want?

1. Cleanse

It is the foundational step in any skincare routine, as it clears the skin, allowing other products to absorb effectively, we would recommend cleansing your skin morning & night. Cleansing removes accumulated dirt, oil and makeup, preventing issues like clogged pores, breakouts, and irritation. Once you’ve cleansed, you can go ahead and apply the products that will maintain your glow!

2. Toner

This is a crucial step and one that is forgotten about, but if you would like radiant skin, don’t skip this step! Refine your skin with a toner for a glowy, clean look as it helps to remove the last traces of cleanser and any oils so you know for definite that your skin is CLEAN! When used regularly, toner is great for keeping your skin hydrated, clearing out and tightening pores, rebalancing pH levels after cleansing.

3. Apply a Serum

Serums contain active ingredients, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and acids and are designed to target specific concerns like wrinkles, dullness, acne, or uneven texture. They are super lightweight, absorb quickly into the skin and ensure the skin looks radiant and glowy from the get-go!

4. Hydrating Moisturiser

Now comes the fun bit – layering! Once the serum has been applied, we need to keep the skin well hydrated, so applying a moisturiser will help maintain this and will lock in the moisture. If you have quite dry skin or skin that dries out as the day goes on, it will quickly show damage with dry patches and rough texture, so choosing the right moisturiser is vital!

5. SPF

This is a step you don’t want to miss out! Sunscreen is important all year round, even in the winter months! SPF helps keep skin radiant by protecting it from sun damage, which causes issues like uneven tone, dark spots, and premature aging; it prevents the sun from stimulating melanin overproduction, which leads to hyperpigmentation.
