Mornings can be a whirlwind of activity – there is so much to do and so many things to get done, before you can take a breath. Between rushing to get ready for work, preparing breakfast, and planning the day ahead, skincare might feel like an extra chore, but it is not something that you can ignore.
Your skin needs tender loving care, even when you feel like you have no time on your hands – at such a time, adding a serum, a single product that can take care of pretty much all your skincare needs of the day, might be the easiest way out. Adding a serum to your morning routine doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming; just a few changes and you are done!
Why do you need a serum in your morning skin care routine?
Your skin goes through so much every single day and while it might seem strong, it actually isn’t. The care that you do not accord to your skin today, will start to show in the years to come in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and so on. However, investing in a good quality morning skin serum could be the answer to a lot of problems.
But then, why do you really need a serum in your morning routine?
When you are starting your day, you need hydration, protection and that radiant glow that is completely natural. So, when you choose something like the AM Sunrise Glow Serum, you are getting all of them in a single bottle.
- With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, you can be sure that moisture will stay locked in your skin, and leave your skin looking plump and feeling nourished all day long.
- The antioxidants help shield your skin from environmental damage, including pollution and UV rays.
- The addition of 15% vitamin C brightens the skin, creating a radiant base for makeup or a natural, healthy glow that will last you all day!
So how do you add serum for busy morning routine
Because you are so busy in the mornings, you need to simplify things – a busy schedule needs a streamlined approach and here are some tips on how you can do it:
- One of the first things you need to do to streamline your morning routine is to make sure that all your products are accessible. The less time you spend hunting for products, the quicker your routine will be. Keep your serum and your sunscreen right on your vanity, so that once you are done washing your face, you can use these products.
- Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and residue from your skin, which might have accumulated overnight. Clean skin ensures that the serum penetrates effectively.
- Now comes the serum - take a few drops of your serum and gently press or pat it into your skin rather than rubbing, which ensures better absorption.
- This would also be a good time to consider your sun protection – either use a white cast free serum or a mist with SPF that will give you hydration and protection.
Now, you are allowing your serum to sink in and you can go on to applying your makeup, why not do something else, such as getting your breakfast ready or perhaps savouring your morning cup of coffee. This will give you a little time to breathe and get some other tasks done, without adding any more time to your routine.
- And before you step out, do remember to apply sunscreen, because you do not want to invite skin problems, such as fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots.
- It is also a good idea to prep your skin the night before - using a serum like the PM Moonlight Glow Serum at night ensures your skin is repaired and ready for the next day. With exfoliating AHAs and nourishing bakuchiol, this serum helps wake up to smoother, healthier skin, reducing the need for extra morning care.
The real key to effective skincare is being consistent - even if you’re short on time, applying serum daily will yield better results than sporadic use. You need to invest the time to build the habit; just like you brush your teeth or take a bath, you need to add our serum for quick morning routine too!
