New to skincare?
If your current routine is water and a mystery lotion from the back of the cupboard, it’s time to level up.
Here is a step-by-step routine even complete skincare beginners can follow.
1 Cleanse
What to do: Gently wash your face with a dedicated cleanser every morning.
Why it matters: Throughout the day and night, your skin collects oil, sweat, SPF and pollution. Water alone can’t remove these impurities effectively, and over-cleansing with harsh soaps can strip your skin. The right cleanser removes build-up while keeping your skin comfortable—so everything you apply next can actually get where it needs to go.
Our pick: Read more about our best-selling cleanser, “Ren & Pen.” It’s designed to cleanse thoroughly without tightness.
2 Action
This is where you bring in your targeted treatment — but the order depends on which product you’re using.
Why this matters: Water-based formulas penetrate more easily when applied first, while oils create a protective seal and should sit on top. Using them in the right order ensures you get the maximum effect from both.
3 Hydrate
What to do: Finish with a moisturiser—morning and night.
Why it matters: A great moisturiser supports your skin barrier and seals in your serum so it can work longer and better. Hydration reduces the look of fine lines while keeping skin comfortable.
Our pick: MYK Moisturiser—our hero. It cushions the skin, locks in hydration, and layers well both under makeup or SPF.
