My daily face care routine
My Daily Skincare Routine: A Balanced Blend of Hydration, Repair, and Glow
1. Cleanser:
I start my day with either the La Roche-Posay Purifying Foaming Cleanser, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, or The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser — depending on what my skin’s asking for. Whether it’s a deep clean, a gentle refresh, or some extra hydration, I’ve got options.
2. Toner:
Next, it’s time to tone. I alternate between the CeraVe Hydrating Toner for barrier-loving hydration, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Toner when I want to combat oil and congestion, and The Ordinary Glycolic Acid when I’m in the mood for a gentle chemical exfoliation (a few nights a week max).
3. Serum:
This is where the magic happens. I switch between:
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum for plump, hydrated skin
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum for texture and post-acne marks
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for oil control and brightening
4. Moisturizer:
To seal it all in, I go for either:
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Moisturizer (great for sensitive days)
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (light and hydrating)
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors (nourishing but not greasy)
5. Sunscreen (AM only):
SPF is non-negotiable. I rotate between:
La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50
CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50
The Ordinary Mineral UV Filters SPF 30
Vibe Check Summary:
This routine is all about hydration, barrier repair, and a little gentle exfoliation when needed. It’s a minimalist-meets-science approach — perfect for combo, dry, or sensitive skin types.
