A simple 4-step skincare routine for busy mornings

1. Cleanse gently

Use a mild face wash with lukewarm water. Hot water strips your skin of its natural oils.

2. Treat with a serum

Vitamin C in the morning brightens and protects; niacinamide calms redness and controls oil.

3. Moisturise

Even oily skin needs moisture. Choose a light gel cream in summer and a richer cream in winter.

4. Always use sunscreen

SPF 30 or higher, every day, even when it is cloudy. Reapply after sweating.

Keep it simple and be consistent — results show after 4 to 6 weeks.
