Your effective 6-step evening and morning skincare routine
A daily skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be effective. With these 6 simple steps, you’ll start and end your day with healthy, well-cared-for, radiant skin.
Why is a skincare routine important?
Every day, your skin has to deal with a lot: from stress to
pollution and temperature changes. Without you noticing, this can make your skin
feel duller or drier. A consistent morning and evening routine helps bring your
skin back into balance, protect it, and maintain its natural glow. By caring for
your skin consistently, you enhance the effectiveness of each product and give your skin
the chance to recover, nourish itself, and radiate.
What is the difference between a morning and evening skincare routine?
Your skin does not always have the same needs. In the morning, the focus is on protection. You prepare your skin for everything it will come into contact with throughout the day: UV radiation, pollution, sweat, or makeup. A good morning routine helps your skin start the day feeling fresh, hydrated, and resilient.
In the evening, the focus shifts. Your skin then goes into repair mode. While you sleep, it recovers from everything it was exposed to during the day. Your evening routine is therefore all about cleansing, nourishing, and soothing. By using the right products, you optimally support this natural repair process—and you can see the results in the mirror the next morning.
What skin type do I have?
Before you start your skincare routine, it is important to get to know your skin type well. Do you quickly experience dryness or tightness? Or does your skin mainly become shiny at the end of the day? Perhaps your skin reacts quickly to certain ingredients. Every skin type requires a different approach and different formulas. At Cent Pur Cent, we believe in honest, safe care for every skin type, including sensitive skin.
Which skincare products to use?
For an effective skincare routine, it is essential to choose your skincare products carefully. Therefore, always choose formulas with active ingredients that work, and avoid products with vague promises or an excess of fragrances. At Cent Pur Cent, we use only what your skin needs: effective and safe ingredients. All our formulas are 100% vegan and dermatologically approved.
Morning and evening routine explained
Would you like to know exactly what each product does? In this video, our product developer Bob clearly explains how each product works and why every step is crucial. Below, you’ll also find the written-out step-by-step guides for both the morning and evening routines.
Step-by-step guide - Morning routine
STEP 1: FACIAL CLEANSING
Start your morning routine with a water-based facial cleanser (Creamy Wonderwash). Your skin does not get dirty overnight like it does during the day, but it does secrete sebum and waste products. A gentle cleanse is therefore sufficient to refresh your skin and prepare it for the rest of your skincare routine.
STEP 2: TONER
After cleansing, use a toner (Belle Brume Toner). It restores your skin’s pH balance and neutralizes the hardness of the water. This allows the following products to absorb into the skin more effectively and work better.
STEP 3: LIP SCRUB
It’s best to exfoliate your face in the evening, but exfoliate your lips in the morning. With a lip scrub, you remove flakes and dead skin cells (Bisou Doux). This helps your lip products stay on better and look fresher.
STEP 4: DAY SERUM
A serum contains active ingredients that work deep within the skin. Choose a serum containing antioxidants (Lumière du Jour) to protect your skin during the day from harmful influences such as pollution and stress. A serum is lightweight yet powerful, and works best in combination with a toner.
STEP 5: DAY CREAM
A good day cream hydrates and seals in the previous layers of your routine. This helps everything you’ve just applied stay in place better while caring for your skin throughout the day. Choose a cream with nourishing and soothing ingredients (Bonheur Du Jour) such as bakuchiol or quinoa polysaccharides to soften fine lines and combat wrinkles.
STEP 6: SUNSCREEN
Protect your skin every day with an SPF 50 sunscreen (Sunscreen by Nomige). Even when it’s cloudy outside. SPF protects against UV damage, pigmentation and inflammation, and helps prevent skin aging. No morning routine is complete without this step.
Step-by-Step Guide - Evening Routine
STEP 1: DOUBLE CLEANSING
In the evening, cleanse your skin in two steps. Start with an oil-based cleanser (Envie d'Huile) to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum. Then use a water-based cleanser (Creamy Wonder Wash) to completely remove any remaining dirt and oil. This way, you can start the rest of your evening routine with a fresh, clean face.
STEP 2: TONER
After cleansing, use a toner (Belle Brume Toner). It restores your skin’s pH balance and neutralizes the hardness of the water. This allows the following products to absorb into the skin more effectively and work better.
STEP 3: EXFOLIATION
Ideally, exfoliate in the evening. This removes dead skin cells and impurities, leaving your skin feeling smoother and allowing products to absorb better. Choose a gentle scrub (Face Scrub Fresh Wave) or a chemical exfoliant (Peeling Peau Parfaite), depending on your skin type.
STEP 4: NIGHT SERUM
At night, your skin restores itself. A night serum with nourishing ingredients (Sommeil de Beauté) helps strengthen this natural process. Apply it after the toner and exfoliant to promote deep hydration and recovery.
STEP 5: NIGHT CREAM
Finish your routine with a nourishing night cream (Clair de Lune) that “seals everything in.” This cream ensures that the active ingredients in your serum and peel continue working while you sleep. Choose a formula that soothes, repairs, and hydrates.
STEP 6: TANNING DROPS
Would you like to wake up with a radiant tan in the morning? Mix a few drops of self-tanner (Wonder Drops) into your night cream. This way, you combine skincare and a fresh glow in one step, without sun or makeup.
