The 3-Step Morning Routine for Radiant Skin
A glowing morning routine does not need twelve steps. In fact, too many layers can leave skin irritated, sticky and more likely to pill under makeup. The better approach is simple: cleanse gently, use one targeted treatment and protect your skin before leaving the house.
Start with a mild cleanser. Your face should feel clean, not tight. If your skin feels squeaky, that is usually a sign the cleanser is too aggressive. Follow with a vitamin C-style brightening serum if your skin tolerates it. This can help the look of uneven tone and gives your sunscreen routine a more polished feel.
The final step is non-negotiable: SPF. A lightweight sunscreen is the product that helps every other skincare step make sense. For shopping research, compare formulas at Sephora, Ulta or your favourite beauty retailer.
Paula’s tip: if your morning routine takes longer than five minutes, simplify it. Consistency beats complexity.
