Are you a morning sunshine or a night owl? Well, regardless of your preferences, having a skincare routine for both of them is highly recommended. However, there’s often confusion about the differences between morning and night skincare routines? Should you use the same products for both? Is one routine more important than the other?

As this thread goes we’ll delve deep into the morning and night skincare routines, so you can give your skin the care it deserves.

1. Morning Skincare Routine: Protect and Prepare

The primary goal of a morning skincare routine is not only to freshen up your skin for the entire day but also is to protect your skin from the environmental aggressors it will face throughout the day, like UV rays, pollution, dust particles and more.

Here’s what a typical morning skincare routine should look like:

1. Cleanser: You should always start with a gentle cleanser to remove any sweat, oil or residue that might have accumulated overnight. These steps prepare your skin to absorb the further products in a better manner.

With a blend of 24K gold flakes and rosemary extract Himaira’s 24K face wash suits dry skin and by keeping your skin hydrated for long hours it helps in protecting sunburns.

2. Antioxidant Serum: Vitamin C serums are considered as the best and popular choice for the morning. Vitamin C serum helps to even the skin tone and also gives a skin a much needed natural glow.

3. Moisturizer: A hydrating and lightweight moisturizer helps to keep your skin supple, smooth and soft throughout the day. When choosing a moisturizer it is always better to look for naturally hydrating ingredients.

4. Sunscreen: It is literally the most crucial step in your skincare routine. Sunscreen acts as a barrier and protects the skin from UV rays which can cause premature aging and sunspots and even skin cancer. It is always better to opt for a broad spectrum sunscreen ranging from SPF 30-50

1. Makeup Remover or Cleanser: The first and foremost step is to remove makeup, dirt and excess oil from your skin. Take some face wash as per the size of your face, with the help of your fingers run it gently across your face.
Exfoliation: It is recommended to exfoliate your skin 2-3 times, it helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell growth. It is always advised to use a gentle exfoliant.

2. Treatment or Serum: Night is the best time to apply targeted treatments. Whether it’s Retinol Serum for aging or a Glycolic Acid serum for brightening, night treatments can work like magic as you sleep peacefully.

3. Moisturizer or Night Cream: At night you need a creamy moisturizer, it actually benefits the skin by locking in hydration for longer hours.

4. Eye Cream: The skin around your eyes is extremely delicate. Your eyes can benefit from a specific eye cream that targets dark circles, puffiness or fine lines.

5. Facial Oil (Optional): If you have extremely dry skin, adding a face oil can help you prevent that extra dryness.

Remember, consistency is the key- stick to your routines and your skin will thank you!
