Evening is the best time to look after yourself: no rush, no sun or make-up on your skin, and a few minutes just for you. This 5-step routine is easy to keep up every day.
1. Remove make-up and cleanse
Remove the day’s make-up and dirt with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. If you wear long-lasting make-up, a double cleanse (oil first, then water-based) helps.
2. Toner or mist
An alcohol-free toner helps prepare your skin for the next steps.
3. Treatment
Time for your serum: hydrating, antioxidant or whichever your dermatologist recommends. Less is more — you don’t need to use many at once.
4. Eye contour and moisturiser
Pat on your eye cream gently and finish with your night cream to lock in hydration.
5. Your moment of calm
Dim the lights, put your phone away and give yourself a few minutes. If you use a V-line facial strap, this is the time to put it on: it supports the chin with gentle compression while you read or rest.
The key: consistency
A simple routine you do every night works better than a complicated one you give up. Start with the basics and add steps if you feel like it.
