Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. - Toner

Pat on a concentrated serum (e.g., Vitamin C in the AM, retinol or hyaluronic acid at night). - Eye Care
Gently tap an eye cream or serum around the orbital bone to address dark circles and puffiness. - Moisturiser
Lock in hydration with a lightweight formula in the morning and a richer one at night. - Facial Oil
Seal in moisture by applying oil over your moisturiser (before SPF in the AM, as the last step at night). - Sunscreen (morning only)
Finish with a broad‑spectrum SPF to protect against UVA/UVB and environmental damage.
Weekly Boost: After cleansing and toning, use a clay or hydrating mask 1–2 times per week to deep‑clean pores or boost moisture.
