Building a simple skincare routine

Skincare gets complicated when we chase trends. The honest truth is that a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum and a moisturiser will carry most people a very long way.

In the morning, finish with sunscreen — it is the single most effective anti-ageing step there is. At night, swap it for a richer cream to repair overnight.

Introduce actives slowly, one at a time, and give each a few weeks. Consistency beats intensity every time.
