Your effective 6-step evening and morning skin care routine
A daily skin care routine does not have to be complicated, but it should be effective. With these 6 simple steps, you begin and end your day with a healthy, cared-for, and glowing skin.
Why is a skin care routine important?
Every day your skin endures a lot: from stress to pollution and changes in temperature. Without you noticing, your skin can start to feel duller or drier. A steady morning and evening routine helps to bring your skin back into balance, protect it, and keep that natural glow. By consistently caring for your skin, you strengthen the effect of each product and give your skin the chance to heal, nourish, and shine.
What is the difference between a morning and evening routine for your skin?
Your skin does not always have the same needs. In the morning, it is all about protection. You prepare your skin for everything it will come into contact with during the day: UV rays, pollution, sweat, or makeup. A good morning routine helps your skin start the day fresh, hydrated, and resilient.
In the evening, the focus shifts. Your skin then goes into repair mode. During your sleep, it recovers from all the influences it endured during the day. Your evening routine therefore revolves around cleansing, nourishing, and soothing. By using the right products, you optimally support this natural repair process, and you will see it in the mirror the next morning.
What type of skin do I have?
Before you begin your skincare, it is important to know your skin type well. Do you quickly suffer from dryness or tightness? Or does your skin mainly shine at the end of the day? Perhaps your skin reacts quickly to certain ingredients. Each skin type requires a different approach and different formulas. At Cent Pur Cent, we believe in honest, safe care for every skin, even the sensitive ones.
Which skin care products to use?
For an effective skin care routine, it is necessary to carefully choose your skin care products. Therefore, always opt for 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 will also find the written step-by-step plans for both the morning and evening routines.
Step-by-step plan - Morning routine
STEP 1: FACE CLEANSING
Begin your morning routine with a water-based face cleanser (Creamy Wonderwash). Your skin does not get dirty at night as it does during the day, but it does secrete oil and waste substances. A gentle cleansing is therefore enough to freshen your skin and prepare it for the rest of your care.
STEP 2: TONER
After cleansing, use a toner (Belle Brume Toner). It restores the pH balance of your skin and neutralizes the hardness of the water. This allows the following products to absorb better into the skin and work more effectively.
STEP 3: LIP SCRUB
You should scrub your face in the evening, but 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 that contains antioxidants (Lumière du Jour), so your skin is protected during the day against harmful influences such as pollution and stress. A serum is light but strong, and works best in combination with a toner.
STEP 5: DAY CREAM
A good day cream moisturizes and seals the previous layers in your routine. This way, everything you just applied stays better in place and your skin is cared for all day long. Choose a cream with nurturing and soothing ingredients (Bonheur Du Jour) such as bakuchiol or quinoa polysaccharides to soften fine lines and fight wrinkles.
STEP 6: SUNSCREEN
Protect your skin every day with a sunscreen with SPF 50 (Sunscreen by Nomige). Even when it is cloudy outside. SPF protects against UV damage, dark spots, and inflammations, and helps prevent skin aging. No morning routine is complete without this step.
Step-by-step plan - Evening routine
STEP 1: DOUBLE CLEANSING
In the evening, you cleanse your skin in two steps. Start with an oil-based cleanser (Envie d'Huile) to dissolve make-up, sun protection, and sebum. Then use a water-based cleanser (Creamy Wonder Wash) to completely remove any remaining dirt and oil. This way, you can begin the rest of your evening routine with a fresh and clean face.
STEP 2: TONER
After cleansing, use a toner (Belle Brume Toner). It restores the pH balance of your skin and neutralizes the hardness of the water. This allows the following products to absorb better into the skin and work more effectively.
STEP 3: EXFOLIATION
Exfoliating or peeling is best done in the evening. This removes dead skin cells and impurities, making your skin feel 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 repairs itself. A night serum with nourishing ingredients (Sommeil de Beauté) helps to strengthen this natural process. Apply it after the toner and peeling to promote deep hydration and repair.
STEP 5: NIGHT CREAM
Complete your routine with a nourishing night cream (Clair de Lune) that ‘seals’ everything in. This cream ensures that the active ingredients of your serum and peeling keep working while you sleep. Choose a formula that soothes, restores, and moisturizes.
STEP 6: TANNING DROPS
Do you want to wake up in the morning with a radiant glow? Then mix a few drops of self-tanner (Wonder Drops) into your night cream. This way, you combine care and a fresh tint in one step, without sun or makeup.
