Morning Routine (AM)
1. Cleanse — TheSkinStep Vitamin C Facial Wash
Start your day with a refreshing cleanse. This brightening face wash removes impurities, boosts radiance, and preps your skin for the day ahead.
- Gently massage onto damp skin for 30-60 seconds.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
2. Treat — The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum
Balance oil, reduce redness, and minimize pores with this powerhouse serum.
- Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck.
- Gently press into the skin until absorbed.
3. Moisturize (optional but recommended)
Lock in hydration with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
4. Protect — Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
Since you’re using glycolic acid at night, SPF is a must to protect your skin from sun sensitivity and maintain results.
Evening Routine (PM)
1. Cleanse — TheSkinStep Vitamin C Facial Wash
Wash away the day’s buildup, makeup, and excess oil with your vitamin C cleanser.
2. Exfoliate — TheSkinStep Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (2-3x a week)
Gently resurface your skin for a smoother, more radiant glow.
- Use on dry skin after cleansing.
- Apply to a cotton pad and sweep across your face and neck (avoiding the eye area).
- Let dry completely before applying other products.
Note: If you’re not using the toner, skip straight to the serum!
3. Treat — The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum
Boost skin repair, calm inflammation, and support your barrier overnight.
- Same application as the morning routine (2-3 drops on clean, dry skin).
4. Moisturize
Finish with a nourishing moisturizer to replenish and hydrate while you sleep.
Pro Tips:
- Frequency: Use glycolic acid 2-3 times a week in the evening. On nights you skip the toner, just cleanse, apply niacinamide, and moisturize.
- Vitamin C & Niacinamide: TheSkinStep vitamin C cleanser is mild, so it’s generally safe to use with niacinamide. But if you notice irritation, alternate days or use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night.
- Patch Test: Always test new products on a small area before full use.
✨ Stick with this routine, and you’ll see smoother, brighter, and healthier skin in no time!
