10 Steps To Achieve Glowing Skin Every Morning

Stay Hydrated: The first and most basic rule of skincare is to stay hydrated. Drinking a glass of water in the morning helps to hydrate your body and kickstart your metabolism. Hydration is key to glowing, hydrated skin, as it maintains skin elasticity.  (Image source: getty images)

Cleanse Gently: Cleaning in the morning is an integral part of one’s morning routine. Using a non-stripping cleansing cream with ingredients that protect and strengthen your skin barrier is the perfect start to glowing skin in the morning.  (Image source: getty images)

Exfoliate Regularly: Incorporate exfoliation into your skincare routine to ensure glowing skin every day. While using a physical exfoliator may work for some people, incorporating gentle exfoliants like fruit AHAs will help renew your skin, leaving a gorgeous glow.  (Image source: getty images)

Use facial oil: For those with dry or sensitive skin, using a face oil during your nighttime routine could help you wake up with glowing skin in the morning. Using face oil as the second last step before moisturiser seals in all the benefits and soothes, calms, and heals irritated skin.  (Image source: getty images)

Moisturiser for Your Skin Type: Using a moisturiser consistently in both your AM and PM routines can help your skin glow, especially when using one that is suited to your skin type. Those with dry skin can use a moisturiser that is thick and hydrating, as opposed to those with oily skin who can use a gel-based one. (Image source: getty images)

Target Specific Concerns: Your nightly skincare routine is the time to target specific skin concerns like acne or dark circles, as you can leave those products on while you sleep and let them work their magic to heal your skin concerns so you can wake up with glowing skin in the morning.  (Image source: getty images)

Protect with Sunscreen: Arguably the most important step in one’s morning routine, one should be wearing sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather or whether you are inside or outside. Not only does this keep your skin healthy, but it also protects you from ageing. (Image source: getty images)

Facial Massage: Using your fingertips or a facial roller to gently massage your skin stimulates blood circulation, leaving you with a radiant complexion. Massaging your face also reduces puffiness and encourages lymphatic drainage, leading to healthier-looking skin. (Image source: getty images)

Stay consistent with self-care, sleep, and a healthy diet: Last but not least, consistency is key to glowing skin. Using skincare products only once in a while does not benefit our skin as much as using them consistently and seeing the results build over time. Making your routine a daily ritual will show improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance over time. (Image source: getty images)
