I have created this vital step by step guide to your morning skincare routine of what to use and when to use it;

1)      Step one: Make Up Remover – Remove any residual eye make up with make-up remover

3)      Toner- Apply toner using a saturated cotton wool or cotton ball to entire face, allow 30 seconds to dry

4)      Serum- Gently press serum into skin, allow 30 seconds for it to be absorbed

5)      Eye Cream- Using your ring finger gently tap a small dab of eye cream into under the eye area

6)      Moisturiser- Massage moisturizer into the skin and neck, starting from the bottom working upwards in motion

7)      SPF- This step can be skipped only if you use a moisturizer with SPF. Otherwise it is completely vital as the sun ages your skin tremendously! Starting from your forehead working down (don’t forget you neck) apply an even coat of an SPF specifically designed for the face
