kollekt's difference between morning and evening skincare steps
do we change up our skincare routine when it comes to morning and night? yes, and it's not just a matter of timing – it's about maximizing the benefits of your skincare routine.
when it comes to skincare, timing is everything. just like your daily routine, your skin follows a schedule too. morning and evening skincare routines might seem similar but serve different purposes. while your morning routine is all about kickstarting your day with refreshed and protected skin, your evening routine is when your skin gets to work repairing and regenerating. here's how we get down...
morning skincare routine: energize and protect
your morning skincare routine is all about kickstarting your day with refreshed and protected skin. here's the breakdown:
.
step 1: cleansing:
no need to cleanse in the morning – you've cleansed away yesterday's memories of dirt, grime, and excess oils the night before, right? if not, well, let's just say your pillow is pretty disappointed, and we've got some other issues we need to talk about, but now is not the time nor place.
either way, if your pm routine is on point, there's no need to double down on the cleanser in the am. just splash some water on your face to rinse off the nighttime skincare residue.
step 2: hydration, hydration + antioxidants
one of the number one causes of aging is those darn free radicals taking over our cells, causing cell damage which, in return, causes the aging process to be much quicker. so, how do we help this? a daily boost of free radical-fighting antioxidants.
after that splash to the face, we like to go in with a double dose of nourishment and hydration. the nourisher is packed with antioxidants and nutrient-rich ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and plump your skin.
apply a few pumps of the nourisher for that nourishment and hydration boost, followed by the hydrator to moisturize and seal in the hydration goodness.
apply 2 to 3 pumps all over your face and neck, and if you're really going for it, apply it to your chest too, let it absorb for about 10 seconds, and then lock it all in with your moisturizer.
when you use our nourishing and soothing skin serum twice a day, not only are you helping to keep your skin looking fresh AF, but you're giving your skin nutrients to thrive for a better complexion. the nourisher is known to rejuvenate and replenish the skin around your:
head
neck
chest
step 3: moisturizing
it's time to lock all that hydration and goodness in with a moisturizer.
you wouldn't leave the house without your morning coffee, so why let your skin start the day parched?
our ride-or-die for moisturized skin: the hydrator. think of it as your skin's daily caffeine shot, packed with plumping peptides to boost collagen production and amino acids to fortify your skin's barrier, ensuring long-lasting hydration and replenishment.
massage 2 to 3 pumps of the hydrator, all over the face and neck, and you're good to go!
strong skin barrier = dewier skin and fewer fine lines.
our go-to for long-lasting moisture without the oily or heaviness – the hydrator lightweight daily gel cream.
step 4: sunscreen:
protect your skin from harmful uv rays with a broad-spectrum spf. a daily sunscreen defends your skin and completes your morning routine.
apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your face, neck, and any exposed areas. reapply every two hours if you're outdoors to keep your skin protected throughout the day.
evening skincare routine: repair and rejuvenate
nighttime is when your skin gets to work repairing and regenerating. your evening routine should support this process:
step 1: cleansing
life's messy. your face shouldn't be. the daily grind leaves behind more than just memories; it leaves dirt and grime. let's get rid of the grime and excess oils that can clog your pores and wreak havoc, leaving you with an even messier life.
the purifier cleansing gel gives that refreshed and renewed feeling, with a dose of antioxidants and vitamins, every day. no fuss, no drama, just clean and healthy.
2 to 3 pumps applied to a wet face, massage it in for about 10 seconds or so, depending on how grimey you might be, and let the ingredients do their magic in getting rid of the build-up and gunk. then rinse those memories down the drain.
step 2: exfoliating
if your skin is looking a bit less vibrant, it's time to talk about exfoliating. what's exfoliating? it's getting rid of old, deadbeat skin cells so that new, fresher ones can take their place.
this helps boost your skin's collagen and elastin production - the stuff that keeps your skin smooth and supple.
exfoliating 2-3 times a week with the exfoliator leave-on serum helps remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin. use it before bed, and it works its magic while you sleep - getting rid of dead skin cells, giving your face a fresh start in the morning. all the work, none of the hassle.
you'll want to ease your way into this one – 1 to 2 short pumps applied evenly to cleansed face and neck, give it about 10 seconds to absorb, and follow it up with some nourishment.
the exfoliator is also known to:
soften wrinkles
resurface skin texture
reduce discoloration
unclog pores
enhance moisture absorption
step 3: nourish + soothing
just like your morning routine, giving your skin a boost of antioxidants and nourishment can really do wonders for your skin, replenishing it with essential nutrients while you sleep.
we like to go in with a double dose of nourishment and hydration. the nourisher is packed with antioxidants and nutrient-rich ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and plump your skin.
apply a few 2 to 3 pumps all over your face and neck, and if you're really going for it, apply it to your chest too, let it absorb for about 10 seconds, and then lock it all in.
when you use our nourishing and soothing skin serum twice a day, you can transform your complexion and skin condition – quickly, at that. the nourisher is known to rejuvenate and replenish the skin around your:
head
neck
chest
what makes serums so special?
we get it; some face serums can sound like new-wave, hippy-dippy junk, but we’re here to justify their importance in your skincare health. using a skincare serum daily does wonders for your skin – depending on their targeted ingredients, some can help boost collagen – the body’s most abundant tissue-strengthening and elasticity-improving protein – as well as reduce dullness and dryness, and reveal a more vibrant, radiant color in your face.
step 4: moisturize
if you're used to using a lighter cream during the day, that is okay, but at night you can reach for the heavier creams. a heavier cream at night is really going to lock in that hydration and moisture, and really put in the overtime while you rest.
apply a richer night cream such as the overnighter antioxidant-rich night cream to lock in moisture and support overnight repair.
massage 2 to 3 pumps of the overnighter, all over your face and neck, and you're good to go!
by tailoring your skincare routine to the time of day, you're maximizing the benefits of each product. morning routines focus on protection, while evening routines prioritize repair and rejuvenation.
