I'll give you an example of a morning routine in just a few words 2 stepsMoisturizing serum and sunscreen!
Cleansing is optional in the morning. If you have dry skin, no problem with imperfections, a simple rinse may be all you need!
As a moisturizing serum: Clémence et Vivien's serum takes advantage of an aqueous derivative of vitamin C called ascorbyl glucoside. Known for its anti-spot and brightening properties, this derivative offers proven results while being non-irritating and well-tolerated by the skin. In addition to its brightening vitamin C, this serum contains aloe vera, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients help maintain optimal skin hydration, leaving it soft, supple and revitalized. What's more, the serum is fragrance-free, as well as free from common allergens such as geraniol and citronelol, often found in products from marques bio, but also from L'Oréal. This gentle formulation is suitable for sensitive skin and minimizes the risk of irritation.
Then you can choose Anthélios UVmune 400 from La Roche Posay. Its name refers to their new sun filter, Mexoryl 400, which targets the longest UVA rays. This is particularly interesting, as long UVA rays penetrate the deepest into the dermis, destroying our collagen the most. However, this cream also contains other sunscreens such as the famous Avobenzone, which is a very good anti-UVA filter, but can cause allergies. And the alcohol concentration is very high, coming second in the formula, which in my opinion makes it difficult to use for sensitive skin. On the other hand, this sunscreen will be very effective in protecting you from UV rays this summer at the beach or during sporting activities.
2) 🌟 Choose skincare products rich in humectants such as hyaluronic acid and glycerine at the start of your skincare routine, and products rich in skin-barrier-strengthening ingredients such as ceramides and niacinamide in the evening at the end of your skincare routine.

4) 🏊♀️ Rinse off sweat, chlorine or salt water from the skin to avoid irritation and maintain good hydration.
5) ☀️ Protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays with a good skin care product. sun cream to preserve moisture retention and prevent damage to the skin's lipid barrier.
6) 💦 Certain areas of the body, such as the backs of forearms and hands, lips and eyelids, may require additional moisturizing and protection due to increased exposure.
