How to build a five-minute routine that actually works

Three steps, one serum and the order that matters. A simple routine you will actually keep.

The best routine is the one you do every day. Most skin needs three things: a cleanser that does not strip, one active treatment and something to seal in moisture.

1. Cleanse gently

In the morning, rinse or use a gel cleanser. At night, melt away sunscreen and make-up with a balm first.

2. Treat with one serum

Pick the serum for the problem you notice most this season. Layering five actives rarely beats one used consistently.

3. Hydrate and protect

Finish with a light cream by day, followed by sunscreen, and a few drops of oil at night.
