items The skincare routine I’m using at the moment, as an Indian woman over 40. It includes my morning routine, my rotating evening routine, and the mask and gua sha products I reach for. This is what’s working for me, rather than a one-size-fits-all routi...

My extra skincare steps
My morning routine
My gentle first step in the morning. I use it to cleanse before my LED mask and the rest of my skincare.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser for Sensitive Skin 400ml
I use my LED mask on clean, dry skin before applying skincare. In the morning, I use the stimulating setting for 10 minutes. Work your way gradually with the mask - I now use it day and night and have seen an incredible difference in my skin!
Silk'n LED Face EMS Mask
I press 5 to 8 drops into my face and neck after the mask, then give it about 30 seconds before my next step.
SVR [B3] Hydra Essence - Vitamin B3 & Hyaluronic Acid Plumping Face Gel-Lotion for Dehydrated Skin Prone to Fine Lines, 150ml
I use 3 to 4 drops in the morning. This is the vitamin C serum I’ve added to my routine. Huge difference in brightness and my overall complexion.
La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum Anti-Wrinkle and Radiance Restoring Serum 30ml
I follow with 2 to 3 drops of Hyalu B5 serum for a hydrating layer. I've noticed a reduction in fine lines and really helps with smoothness. No wonder its a best seller!
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Suractivated Serum 30ml
I use a rice-grain-sized amount per eye and tap it in gently. This is my eye cream in both my morning and evening routines. I have been using this for almost 4 months and really feel as if my undereyes look less puffy and no signs of lines!
Filorga Time-Filler 5-XP Wrinkle Correction Moisturizer
One pump is my light moisturiser before sunscreen. Feels super lightweight and non greasy.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Soothing Fluid Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin 40ml
Sunscreen is my final morning step. I use two finger lengths for my face and another for my neck.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Non-Perfumed Suncream SPF50+ 50ml
My evening rotation - recovery nights
On recovery nights, I use this after my SVR essence. It’s a step I enjoy when I want a more comforting, layered routine and it smells amazing!
RANAVAT Brightening Saffron Essence
I pair this with the RANAVAT essence on recovery nights, then finish with my eye cream from my morning routine.
RANAVAT Brightening Saffron Serum
This is the cream I use to finish my recovery, retinal and exfoliation routines. Love the way this feels on my skin.
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Suractivated Cream 50ml
My evening rotation -retinal nights
I use a pea-sized amount for my face, avoiding the corners of my nose, lips and eyelids. I started with 3 and have been using that for the last 7 months. I wait five minutes before applying my eye cream and Hyalu B5 Cream.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum 30ml
My evening rotation - exfoliation nights
This is the exfoliating step in my routine. I apply it after cleansing, wait 10 minutes, then use SVR essence, Hyalu B5 serum, eye cream and Hyalu B5 Cream. I keep this separate from my retinal night.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Clarifying Lotion 200ml
I use these to apply the lotion.
Tulips 50 Round Facial Cotton Pads in a Ziplock Bag 100% Cotton Pack of 3
My extra skincare steps
My overnight mask for an extra layer of hydration. I use it when I want to make my evening routine feel more nourishing.
Biodance Hydro Cera-nol Real Deep Mask (4 Pack)
I use this with facial oil so the tool glides over my skin and use a rubbing motion to stimulate my skin. It always feels amazing after and I have definitely a change in my jaw line.
brushworks HD Rose Quartz Resin Roller & Gua Sha
I use a few drops of this oil to give my skin slip for gua sha.
