4 Tips to Know When Creating an Excellent Morning Skincare Routine

What should a morning skincare routine consist of? And how do you know what order to follow for all of your favorite products? It’s not always easy to get the right system down – but once you do, your healthy, glowing skin will thank you!

Maybe you’re an early riser with plenty of time to get ready. Or you might be a night owl looking for the most efficient and effective way to start your day. Either way, it’s important to establish smart skincare habits as you get ready to face the day.

Here are some of our top morning skincare tips to start your day off right – from what order to apply products to how to be more efficient in the AM:

1. Dabble With Double Cleansing

Consider kicking off your skincare routine with a gentle double cleanse with an oil cleanser to really refresh your complexion. This can make a big difference for anyone who has an oily skin type or acne-prone skin – as well as anyone who wears heavy makeup during the day or deals with a lot of environmental pollution.

2. Get the Right Order Down

According to Glamour, dermatologists recommend this order for applying products to your face in the morning:

1. Cleanser

2. Eye cream

3. Toner

4. Serum

5. Moisturizer

6. Spot treatment

7. Face oil

8. Sunscreen

Of course, you may not use all of these products – and you certainly don’t have to. The important thing to note is that you’ll start by cleansing your face to erase any dirt, oil and residue. This helps create a clean foundation for the products that you want to soak into your skin, like your serum and moisturizer. Last but certainly not least, you’re applying sunscreen right at the end for the maximum amount of protection against UV rays.

3. Don’t Skip the Sunscreen

Speaking of UV rays, constant exposure can not only take a toll on your skin’s appearance but can also put you at risk of skin cancer.

That’s why it’s so important to make applying sun protection a part of your skincare routine in the morning – every morning. Even if it’s gray and rainy, and even if you’re staying indoors all day, get in the habit of protecting your skin. Reach for a product that provides at least a broad spectrum SPF 30.

4. Try a Complete Skincare System

Not everyone has the time or interest in experimenting with dozens of different skincare products morning and night until they land on the perfect combination. The easiest way to get into a groove with compatible products is to pick out a skincare system so you can try a little bit of everything in the right order.
