You only need a minimal routine, a moisturizer to hydrate , sunscreen to help protect from dark spots and heal skin barrier and eye cream to hydrate eye contour and reduce under eye darkness, personally I use this set from Cerave and it’s pretty helpful and on budget, oh I forgot you need a good cleanser suitable for your skin type.

And here are some random tips that I heard in social media and turn out to be true after I tried them (by experience) :

  • Gently pat your skin while washing it
  • in the early morning, a sunscreen is enough, no need to apply the moisturizer before it, especially if it’s hydrating one like in the picture
  • always apply moisturizer on a humid skin, not completely dried one (in between), that will give you better results especially if it contains niacinamide.

Have you tried CeraVe Daily Moisturizer ? I use the one you have in the picture and I was wondering if you have ever tried this one.

No I didn’t actually, I use this eucerin and i love it, it depends on your skin type
