The Best Morning Skin Care Routine
A good morning routine is not a luxury, but a necessity.
With the right steps and products, you protect your skin against harmful
influences from outside and give it a radiant start to the day.
Why is a morning skin care routine important?
Your skin endures a lot during the day. Think of pollution, UV rays, dust, sweat, makeup, and temperature changes.
Without protection, your skin loses its natural glow and can dry out, become red, or age faster. With the right morning routine, you prepare your skin optimally for the day. Using antioxidants in a serum and a good sunblock helps protect your skin against harmful external influences. This way, it stays healthy, hydrated, and radiant.
Why is sunscreen the most important step in the morning routine?
Sunscreen is the key to a healthy skin in the long run. UV radiation is the main cause of skin aging, pigment spots, and fine lines. Even on cloudy days, UVA and UVB rays are present. A sunscreen with high protection prevents damage to the skin cells and supports your skin barrier.
At Cent Pur Cent, we make sunscreens that both protect and nourish, suitable for the most sensitive skin types.
What is the best and proper order for your morning skincare routine?
A fixed order helps your products work optimally. Always work from the lightest texture to the richest, so everything is well absorbed by the skin.

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 have just applied stays in place better 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.
