A complete skincare routine includes the following steps:

1. Cleansing: Remove makeup and impurities with a gentle facial cleanser. For heavy makeup, start with an oil cleanser (double cleansing).
2. Toner: Balances the skin’s pH and prepares it for the next steps.
3. Serum: Contains active ingredients targeting specific needs like hydration, brightness, or anti-aging.
4. Eye cream: Applied around the eye area to combat wrinkles and dark circles.
5. Moisturizer: Locks in moisture and keeps the skin soft.
6. Sunscreen (morning): Essential for protection against harmful UV rays.
7. In the evening, replace sunscreen with a night cream or a repairing product.

During the night, the skin undergoes its natural repair and renewal process. Night cream is enriched with ingredients like retinol, peptides, and nourishing oils, which aid in cellular repair and strengthen the skin barrier. It is usually richer than day cream, as it doesn’t contain SPF, focusing instead on nourishment and regeneration. Regular use reduces fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin smooth and even-toned.

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more prone to fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. Eye creams contain ingredients like caffeine to reduce puffiness and peptides to boost collagen production. Additionally, some include phospholipids or vitamin K to minimize dark circles. Proper use of eye cream helps maintain elasticity and protects the area from premature aging.

Anti-aging products include active ingredients that reduce the signs of aging:

• Retinol: Boosts collagen production and reduces wrinkles.
• Peptides: Support the skin’s natural renewal process.
• Hyaluronic acid: Deeply hydrates and plumps fine lines.
• Vitamin C: Brightens and combats discoloration.
• Antioxidants: Protect against free radical damage.
