Building a simple skincare routine
Cleanse, treat, moisturise, protect — a calm, four-step routine is often all you need.

A good routine does not need ten steps. For most people, four are enough.
1. Cleanse
Use a gentle cleanser morning and evening. Massage it onto damp skin for about 30 seconds and rinse with lukewarm water.
2. Treat
This is where a serum comes in. Choose one focused on what you care about most — hydration, radiance or a calmer-looking complexion — and apply a few drops to slightly damp skin.
3. Moisturise
A moisturiser helps your skin feel comfortable and seals in the previous steps. Lighter gel-creams suit oily and combination skin; richer creams suit dry skin.
4. Protect
In the morning, finish with a sun-care product suited to your skin and reapply as directed on the pack.
Introduce one product at a time
When trying something new, patch-test first and give it a few weeks before adding anything else. That way you will know what works for you.
