The Best Morning & Evening Skincare Routines: A Step-By-Step Guide.
Your skin’s needs change throughout the day — and your skincare routine should too. Your morning skincare routine needs to be different from your evening routine.
The key to achieving healthy, radiant skin lies not only in what products you use, but in what order you use them.
🌤 Best Morning Routine
Start with a simple yet structured skincare ritual that protects and preps your skin for the day ahead.
1. Cleanse and Prep
Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove overnight oils and impurities, leaving your skin clean and ready to absorb active ingredients.
2. Serums – Target and Treat
Apply your preferred serum to deliver its active ingredients deep into the skin. If necessary, follow with an eye serum or eye cream to hydrate and brighten the delicate eye-area skin.
3. Moisturise – Hydrate and Balance
Choose a moisturiser based on your skin type and needs:
-
Light for oily or combination skin
-
Medium for normal skin
-
Rich for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin
4. Protect – Sunscreen Is Essential
Seal in hydration and defend against UV damage with a broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen. UVA rays contribute to premature skin ageing even on cloudy days, so daily sunscreen use is non-negotiable.
💧 Dr Mayson's 7/AM Hydrating Facial SPF50+Sunscreen is a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen that offers powerful protection while creating a flawless base for makeup.
🌙 Best Evening Routine
Nighttime is when your skin repairs and regenerates, making it the perfect time to apply targeted treatments.
1. Pre-Cleanse – Remove the Day
Start with Micellar Water to gently remove the bulk of makeup, sunscreen, surface oils, and grime.
2. Cleanse – Deep Clean
Follow with your regular cleanser to clear away any remaining residue, excess oils, or environmental buildup.
3. Treat – Nighttime Renewal
At bedtime, apply Dr Mayson’s Skin Rejuvenation Program or Anti-Acne Program to work on your skin while you sleep. These Programs are designed to be used once daily at bedtime — so they can work unhindered on your skin without interference or complexity from a multi-step evening routine.
⚠️ Important Tips
-
If using either of Dr Mayson’s Programs at bedtime, do not apply any other products over or under them — otherwise they will neutralise or block the formula's absorption and reduce its effectiveness.
-
Instead, apply your moisturiser and serums in the morning after cleansing, following the correct sequence described above.
The Takeaway
Building your ideal skincare routine is about timing, layering, and consistency.
By following the correct morning and evening sequence — and using premium products — you’ll help your skin look healthier, smoother, and more radiant every day.
