Ever wonder what would be the perfect skincare routine for morning and evening?
Why would this skincare routine so important for your skin to remain supple and healthy？
Read up after the jump.
A good morning skincare routine protects the skin from dirt, UV radiation, and other stresses or pollutants that the skin is exposed to during the day.
No. 1 – Cleaning
Always start your skincare routine in the morning with our deep-cleansing Cleansing Oil . Complete your cleansing routine with a peel, or exfoliation, with AHA acid or grains 2-3 times a week. By exfoliating your skin, you speed up the process of skin cell turnover. The dead skin cells fall off and new, fresh skin can come to the surface. The result is softer, firmer skin with a healthier glow. Peeling can be done either during the day or in the evening.
No. 2 – Facial Toner
A toner, or facial toner, completes cleansing and begins the conditioning part of your routine. Toner is just as important as cleansing, as it prepares your skin for the products to come. Choose a toner that is tailored to your skin’s needs.
No. 3 – Antioxidant Serum
A serum is the most effective part of an effective skincare routine. For best results, choose a serum that targets your skin’s specific needs. For a more general skin improvement, we recommend using our Energising Vitamin C Serum with antioxidants during your morning skincare routine. The serum protects the skin from free radicals and daily stressors, and provides instant radiance and glow.
No. 4 – Eyes
In the morning, the skin around the eyes often feels swollen with dark circles, making it extra important to care for it with ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid that counteract this. Use Vitalising Eye Cream .
No. 5 – Moisturizing day cream
During the day, the face cream acts as a protective shield against wind, pollution and other factors that stress the skin during the day. During the day, it is also important to always use sunscreen, which protects the skin from UV rays.
Face cream is an important part of your skin care routine and it is important that you choose the cream that best takes care of your unique needs. We at Gilda Liljeblad have chosen to make three of our face creams into so-called 24h creams; Fortifying Barrier Cream, Nourishing Cream and Clarifying AHA Cream . This is a combination of day and night cream, and the advantage of these is that they can be used both during the day and at night, that is, both as a day cream and a night cream. They contain a combination of many vitamins and antioxidants that protect against skin stress during the day, as well as active ingredients that work at night.
Night is the time of day when the skin absorbs skincare products the best. Vitamins, nutrients and other ingredients are absorbed better than during the day. At night, the skin is also working hard to repair itself, and benefits from extra help in the form of night-time products. In addition, the skin is not affected by external factors such as UV radiation, pollution and wind, which means that your products can work in peace.
Night is therefore the best time of day to care for your skin.
No. 1 – Cleaning
Even the evening skincare routine always starts with a cleanser from Gilda Liljeblad. If you wear makeup, it is important to use a cleanser specifically designed for this. Sleeping with makeup on is one of the biggest beauty sins. Only when you have cleansed your skin of makeup and dirt that has accumulated on the skin surface during the day is it ready for the rest of your routine.
Micellar Makeup Remover is our gentle eye and face cleanser with small micellar particles that attract makeup and impurities from the skin like a magnet. Cleansing Oil is a double cleanser in the same product, and also works as a good cleanser when you wear makeup. It also cleanses the skin deeply and the result is a really clean and moisturized skin without residue from makeup or other dirt.
No. 2 – Facial Toner
A toner, or facial toner, completes cleansing and begins the conditioning part of your routine. Toner is just as important as cleansing, as it prepares your skin for the products to come. Choose a toner that is tailored to your skin’s needs.
No. 3 – Serum
Even for your evening skincare routine, you should use a serum with a high concentration of active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin. Choose a serum with the right ingredients to tailor your skincare routine to your skin’s specific needs. Moisturizing ingredients and AHA acids are beneficial in your evening routine, as they keep your skin hydrated while you sleep.
No. 4 – Eyes
An eye cream is also important in the evening as it keeps the skin hydrated and repairs the skin barrier during the night. Use Vitalising Eye Cream .
No. 5 – Moisturizing night cream
The main task of a night cream is to hydrate and repair the skin’s barrier after the stresses of the day, while also locking in active ingredients from earlier steps in the routine. Since the skin is in repair mode at night, it is important to use a face cream that repairs and strengthens the skin, as well as increases cell renewal.
Choose the cream that best suits your unique needs. Three of our face creams are so-called 24-hour creams, which means you can use them both during the day and at night. These are Fortifying Barrier Cream , Nourishing Cream and Clarifying AHA Cream . They contain a combination of vitamins and antioxidants that protect against the skin’s stress during the day, as well as active ingredients that work at night.
The fourth of our face creams, Regenerating Vitamin A Retinol Cream , is a night cream. It contains vitamin A which can make the skin sensitive to the sun and should therefore not be used during the day if the skin is exposed to the sun. By adding vitamin A in the evening, the skin also rebuilds during the night and the vitamin helps fight signs of aging, as well as accelerates cell renewal.
No. 6 – Complementary face mask
To further improve your skin’s condition, it’s a good idea to use an overnight mask once a week. Our Calming Mask helps rebuild a damaged skin barrier and locks in moisture deep down.
