After seeing the last video on my nighttime skincare routine, I’ve received a lot of questions about what my morning skin care routine looks like!
I decided to make a quick tutorial for you on the techniques and skincare products that I use to keep my skin well hydrated and plump for the long day ahead of me.
Morning Skincare Routine Steps
Watch the video or read this post to follow along as I invite you to get ready with me.
Step 1 - Scrub/Mask
For the first step, I start by cleansing and exfoliating my skin with scrub/mask.

This is a multi-purpose Bamboo Brightening Mask and scrub packed with exfoliating and skin-brightening skincare ingredients for a clearer, smoother-looking complexion that truly glows. Glow also doubles as an exfoliating scrub for a quick skin pick-me-up!
You can wash your face, but I like to clean and rinse of the mask while I take a shower.
Step 2 - Hydrating Toner
After my shower, while my skin is damp, I apply a toner by pressing it into my skin.

This ultra hydrating formula soothes, restores, and balances the skin. Sea Salt restores the skin's natural moisture barrier, and prebiotics provide a soothing effect to repair and balance the skin.
Step 3 - Apply A Serum
In the mornings I prefer to use a serum that is more plumping and has a lot of antioxidants in it. I use it in combination with an active booster, around my eyes.

This serum is a restorative Nutritive Defense Serum that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and other signs of aging for a more healthier-looking complexion. Ideal for those seeking rejuvenated-looking skin.
Mix this booster with a serum to augment the serum. This booster envelops the skin in the goodness of Vitamin C, toning the skin, reversing photo aging and making the complexion look younger and more vibrant. For all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin.
Step 4 - Moisturizer
To stay well hydrated during the day I use one of my favorite moisturizers, the Age Intelligence Smart Cream by Swissline.
This moisturizer contains Swissline's signature skincare ingredients Madecassoside® that is derived from a plant called Centella Asiatica, and Ectoin which is an enzyme produced by microorganisms that thrive in extreme heat and cold weather conditions.

When my skin feels a bit tired, I like to add a few drops of pure Rosehip Oil to the moisturizer.

Step 5 - My Hydration Sandwich
To add an extra dose of hydration I like to add a hydration sandwich which involves re-applying the hydrating toner used in Step 2 over the moisturizer.
Step 6 - Eye Cream
Next I like to apply an eye cream that is ultra hydrating for my eye area.

This eye serum is specially formulated with powerhouse ingredients to radically reduce the look of dark circles and improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging around the eyes.
Step 7 - Sunscreen
Finally I like to incorporate a sunscreen when I do my makeup routine. For this last step I use a product like Ilia's tinted serum and sunscreen in one.
