Essential steps for an effective day and night skincare routine

More and more people are implementing a skin care routine not just as a beauty habit, but as a fundamental self-care practice. From early in the morning to late at night, establishing clear steps to cleanse, moisturize, protect and care for the skin is becoming part of holistic wellness.

But what exactly does a good facial care routine entail? In what order should products be applied? Is the process different during the day and at night? These questions lead many people to do research, consult with experts and rely on specialized brands like JessBeauty.

What are the benefits of a well-structured daytime and nighttime routine?

Having a structured skin care routine offers multiple benefits for both the appearance and health of the skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, applying products in the right order is key to improving their effectiveness - from the lightest to the thickest.

Facial care is no longer limited to using just any moisturizer. Today we talk about active ingredients, specific formulas and routines adapted to the rhythm of the day and night. That's why at JessBeauty we promote the concept of conscious self-care.

Daytime routine: protection and preparation

During the day, the skin is exposed to multiple aggressors: UV radiation, pollution, sweat, among others. Therefore, the morning routine focuses on protecting and preparing the face for this environment.

1. Gentle cleansing: The first step is to cleanse the face with a gel, foam or specialized facial cleanser that removes residues from the night without altering the skin barrier. JessBeauty's Face Reset is enriched with squalane, so it not only cleanses, but also hydrates the skin.
2. Treatment: A serum helps to restore the pH and prepare the skin for better absorption of the following products. Shine Bright contains niacinamide and tranexamic acid that fight skin redness while repairing the skin.
3. Moisturizer: Necessary to seal the treatment and retain water in the skin. Our C Bomb cream with vitamin C provides the perfect balance for the above products in the routine to be absorbed while revitalizing the skin.
4. Broad spectrum sunscreen: SPF is a must. According to experts cited by the Mayo Clinic, applying a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every two hours is critical to prevent blemishes, wrinkles and skin cancer. Our Let it Sun SPF 50+ sunscreen is an excellent choice to take care of your skin and give it a younger, more radiant appearance.

Night routine: repair and nourishment

During the night, the skin regenerates. Therefore, the night routine focuses on deep cleansing, nourishment and specific treatments.

1. Double cleansing: It is recommended to first use a cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, followed by an aqueous cleanser.
2. Gentle exfoliation (twice a week): Removing dead skin cells helps renew the skin. A gentle exfoliant such as PHAbulous chemical peel is recommended.
3. Serum with retinol or niacinamide: Retinol improves texture and prevents wrinkles, while niacinamide reduces inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier. It is important to remember not to use retinol the same night you use an exfoliant.
4. Eye Contour: It is important to moisturize in depth and attend to the specific needs of this delicate area, as does our Coffee Break, its formula with 1% caffeine helps to deflate bags and unify the tone of dark circles.
5. Richer moisturizer: Post Workout becomes the perfect complement to the use of retinol. Thanks to ingredients such as centella asiatica and green tea, this product helps soothe the skin and restore its barrier function, helping to reduce sensitivity and promoting effective recovery after the application of intensive actives.
6. Masks (once a week): Moisturizing, soothing or purifying, depending on your skin's needs.

Tailor your routine to your skin type

Not all products are suitable for all skin types. Dry skin needs moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and natural oils. Oily skin benefits from gel textures and sebum-regulating actives. Combination skin can use different products on different areas of the face, and sensitive skin requires hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulas.

An effective routine does not depend on cosmetics alone. Habits such as sleeping 7 to 8 hours, drinking at least 2 liters of water a day, maintaining a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and controlling stress also have a direct influence on skin health.

The Mayo Clinic medical team also recommends avoiding smoking, as smoking accelerates skin aging and decreases cellular oxygenation.

The benefits of skin care are not seen overnight. Consistency is key for products to show real results. A facial care routine should be repeated every day, morning and night, with discipline.

Creating a day and night routine doesn't have to be complicated. Knowing your skin type, using the right products and maintaining healthy habits is enough to notice changes. Including specialized brands like Jessbeauty can help you find effective and reliable formulas. Ultimately, taking care of your skin is a way to take care of yourself, every day.
