1 Step 1
Wet your face with lukewarm water, never hot. Massage a coin-sized amount of cleanser in small circles for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel. Rubbing dries and irritates your skin.
Pro tip: In the morning, a gentle cleanser is enough. Save double cleansing for the evening if you wear makeup or sunscreen.
2 Step 2
On slightly damp skin, press 3 to 4 drops of serum across your face and neck with your fingertips. Pat, do not rub. Vitamin C brightens and helps protect against daily pollution, and it absorbs best on damp skin.
Pro tip: Start with every other morning for the first week to check your skin is comfortable with it.
3 Step 3
Warm a pea-sized amount of moisturizer between your fingers and press it into your skin working upward from the neck. Even oily skin needs moisture, so choose a light gel formula instead of skipping it.
Pro tip: Apply within a minute of cleansing. Your skin holds onto the water better.
4 Step 4
The most important step: apply two finger-lengths of SPF 30 or higher over your face and neck, then reapply every two hours if you are outside. Sunscreen prevents most visible ageing, no serum can match it.
Pro tip: Do not forget ears, the back of the neck and the hairline. They are the most commonly missed spots.
