My Morning Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

Starting your day with a consistent skincare routine sets the tone for healthy, glowing skin. After years of trial and error, I’ve finally found a morning routine that works beautifully for my combination skin.

Step 1: Gentle Cleanser

I start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser. My current favourite is the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser — it’s affordable, fragrance-free, and doesn’t strip my skin.

Step 2: Vitamin C Serum

This is the powerhouse of my routine. Vitamin C brightens, protects against environmental damage, and helps with hyperpigmentation. I apply 3-4 drops and pat it gently into my skin.

Top Pick: The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% — affordable and effective!

Step 3: Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs moisture! I use a lightweight gel moisturizer that hydrates without feeling greasy. Let it absorb for a minute before moving to the next step.

Step 4: Sunscreen (Non-Negotiable!)

If you only do one thing from this list, make it sunscreen. Every. Single. Day. Rain or shine, indoor or outdoor — SPF is your skin’s best friend.

I’m currently loving the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun — it’s lightweight, leaves no white cast, and works beautifully under makeup.

Quick Tips

• Wait 1-2 minutes between applying products
• Don’t forget your neck and ears when applying sunscreen
• Patch test new products before full application
• Consistency is key — results take time!
