Are you someone who is waking up everyday with tired, dull and greasy skin in the morning? Don’t feel alone in this as you are not. We all go through this in our lifetime that too several times until and unless we take good care of our skin.

Truth be told, many of us fail to do proper skincare routine that too in the morning. After waking up, we hardly get time to breathe peacefully. There are so many household chores to be completed before leaving for office or packing tiffin boxes for spouses and children.

So it is not easy to follow so many steps for our everyday morning skincare routine. But you know pretty well, that is what prevents your skin from becoming healthy, lively and glowy. But what if we say there could be a simple step-by-step ritual that can help you achieve healthy, hydrated, nourished and glowing skin?

You just have to follow this skincare routine in the morning everyday for the next 1 month to see that coveted morning glow. Yes, one month is not enough. But it is enough to motivate you, bring out the glowing skin and keep you focussed on this path.

Understanding the Need for Morning Skincare Routine

Few questions keep on repeating like, ‘why do we need the morning skincare ritual when we already did the previous night?’ or ‘we were sleeping at home then why do we need to wash our faces in the morning?’ or ‘the skin is totally dull and greasy in the morning, but I follow a full on 10 steps skincare routine in the night, but I fail to keep up with the same in the morning. Why?’

When we sleep, over the night your skin collects oil, sweat and dead skin cells. If you forget to wash your face in the morning, then you will see your skin becomes dull over time.

This is because the pores get clogged and thus different issues like pimples, acne, red bumps, rashes and dullness start building up.

You might think your skin does not need a moisturizer in the morning, but without it, your skin will be left naked to the dirt, pollution and stress. And without sunscreen in the morning, your skin would be left open to harmful UV rays.

This will lead to many skincare diseases like hyperpigmentation, melasma and even skin cancer. Your skin will gradually grow sensitive and even flaky with growing fine lines and wrinkles with age. And no one wants such unhealthy skin leaving you with the only option of following step-by-step morning skincare routine.

Skincare & Self-love Intertwined

There are times when you might feel low, under-confident, at times even ashamed due to flaky skin, black patches, too much wrinkles and acne scars.

If you are a working person and you prefer to use makeup at the office, you might often go through phases of embarrassment in front of your colleagues due to your unhealthy skin.

No, you should not be judged based on your skin health. But it is you who might go through a phase of self-doubts. It is also not that you are not taking care of your skin. But there are times you lack knowledge. Then you end up buying the wrong products. That’s mostly based on what’s trending on social media for your skin.

We are here to take away that stress from you. We will guide you with a step-by-step morning skincare routine using the best skincare products. If you follow this, in one month you will notice that morning glow for sure.

Step-by-Step Morning Skincare Routine

This routine is for all skin types. You just have to choose the right type of best skincare products according to your skin type.

1.    Gentle Cleanser

By now you know the importance of cleansing your face. A lot of oil, sweat, dirt and dead skin cells get accumulated in your skin. This can clog your pores which might lead to dull, damaged and acne prone skin. So you can use a foam or gel based cleanser as per your skin type.

Remember to use a gentle cleanser like, COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser that has salicylic acid,  to get a squeaky clean skin. This works on all skin types.

2.    Toner

Next step is to use a toner. Toners like the Tony Moly’s Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner, repairs the skin and regains hydration lost during cleansing. It also helps balance the pH level of the skin and prep the skin for the following steps.

3.    Serum

Now your skin is ready to absorb more hydration and treatments. You can use serums, which are in a more concentrated form to target issues in the skin.

Like you can use Wishcare Super Bright C16 Vitamin C Face Serum. It has Vitamin C Serum, Niacinamide and Kojic Acid, which will provide you with brightening of your skin, protection and collagen boost.

4.    Moisturizer

You might think, what is the need of this step, when your skin is feeling already hydrated and well nourished! But moisturizer is important as it locks all the skin hydrated and nurtures it throughout the day.

It is always wise to invest in a good moisturizer, like Clinique 100 Hours Moisture Surge, which provides 100 hours of hydration. You can also choose The Face Shop Rice & Ceramide Day Cream for glowing skin.

5.    Sunscreen

The last step and the most important step is applying sunscreen. Choosing the right sunscreen for face is very crucial. It needs to be above SPF 30, preferably SPF 50 and should have PA++++ along with being light weight.

You might have heard or faced issues like having a white cast and sweating profusely after applying the sunscreen. This often leads to a strong dislike for sunscreens.

But it is important to use a good sunscreen for face, like that of Beauty of Joseon Relief Sunscreen Rice + Probiotics SPF 50 and PA++++. It is a chemical sunscreen which protects your skin from harmful UV rays, wrinkles, sunburns, fine lines and also slows down ageing.

Tips to Enhance Your Morning Glow

  • Always reapply sunscreen on your face every 3 to 4 hours, especially if you are outside your home.
  • Try to apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before leaving your house.
  • You can try dipping your face in chilled water to get rid of any puffiness.
  • Make sure you get a good 7-8 hours sleep at night.
  • Keep your meals as healthy as possible with a balanced diet.
  • Do not forget to drink lots of water.

Final Thoughts 

Initially this might seem a lot of work amidst your hectic morning schedule. Remember just a cleanser followed by a moisturizer won’t work.

Each step in your skincare routine in the morning builds upon the previous one. Cleansing starts the process, toning preps the skin, serums treat any underlying issues, moisturizers seal in all hydration and sunscreen protects.

This morning skincare routine ensures your skin is clean and balanced, getting properly nourished. It gets protected from environmental damages while providing a natural healthy glow.

So ready to start your glowing skin journey? Start building your skin from today into a healthy glowy version!

Time and again, I have shared in my blog that skincare is not just a routine for me, it is a therapy. When it comes to choosing the right product with the right ingredients, I never forget to research what I am using on my skin, and I believe it is very important we all do so.  Recently, the ingredients my skin has been loving are Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid and I made sure I use the best. ITC Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C range is what I have opted for recently and I am going to share my personal experience with the Vitamin C face wash, hand cream, and face serum.

Before starting off with the review, I wanted to let you all know that I have been using these products for a couple of weeks and only then I am able to tell you if these products have worked for me or not. It is completely up to you if you want to spend your money reading this review or you want to do more research before that. I always recommend you guys to do your research well before you invest in any product.

Coming back to the review, Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Range has been launched recently by the brand and it consists of three products- Deep Radiance Face Wash, Deep Radiance Hand Cream & Deep Radiance Face Serum. This range is packed with three extremely potent ingredients like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. Together these products will make your skin radiant and youthful, hydrated, soft and supple to touch, and will revitalize the skin by removing signs of fatigue and dullness.

Now, let’s get into individual product reviews-

Charmis Deep Radiance Face Wash

Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Face Wash review

Price- Rs 180 for 150ml

Formula & Efficacy- Formulated with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & Salicylic Acid, this face washes deeply cleanses the skin and removes extra oil and dirt from the skin. Vitamin C, an extremely potent antioxidant provides radiance to the skin making it look youthful & nourished. Hyaluronic acid provides great hydration to the skin and retains that moisture for a long period of time.  Salicylic acid does a great job of gently exfoliating your skin and at the same time keeps acne at bay. This facewash washes away 99.9% acne-causing bacteria. Despite the deep cleansing and high foaming, this does not strip away the natural oils from your skin. Rather, it keeps the skin hydrated even after the wash.

Texture, Colour & Smell- The texture of the deep radiance face wash is like a pinkish gel that foams up so much once you work it on to your face. One thing I like so much about this product is that a little of it goes a long way. Even the tiniest amount lathers well to cover your entire face and neck.  The fragrance of this is quite mild and refreshing and not at all overpowering.

Charmis Deep Radiance Face Serum

Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Face Serum Review

Price- Rs 210 for 30ml

Formula & Efficacy- Applying a facial serum is a step that I have started loving recently. The deep radiance face serum is claimed to penetrate 15 layers deep into the skin and delivers the active ingredients directly into the skin. Regular use of this product helps remove dullness from the face, add a brightening effect, and hydrates the skin.  The non-sticky formula helps it get absorbed into the skin quickly and completely without making the skin greasy at all. Although it is suitable for all skin tones, I recommend dry skin people apply a moisturizer afterward and oily skin people leave it as it is.

Texture & Smell- The texture of this serum is quite runny, but it gets absorbed by the skin in no time. It is extremely lightweight so even if you use this in the morning, you don’t feel heaviness on the skin. This has a soothing aroma that lingers for quite some time post-application. The fragrance, like the others in this range, is not overpowering at all.

Charmis Deep Radiance Hand Cream

Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Hand Cream Review

Price- Rs 180 for 150ml

Taking care of our hands has been a matter of great importance after the Covid-19 broke out. The use of hand sanitizers and hand washes have increased substantially which caused the occurrence of dehydration and roughness in the hands. This issue has also increased the sales of hand creams in the market. People are now aware of taking care of their hands also.

Packaging, Formula & Efficacy- Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C hand cream comes in a compact packaging that is easy to travel with and is completely spill-proof. This product does not only deeply nourish your hands but also protects them from 99.9% of bacteria that come in contact. This again is packed with the goodness of Vitamin C that fights the signs of aging, because as interesting as it might sound, our hands are one of the first body parts that show signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid holds in the hydration which is really important because our hands endure a lot during the day.

The formula is very lightweight and non-greasy without compromising on hydrating power. I really like this fact about this hand cream because I do not like the idea of moisturized hands that cannot hold a pen.

Texture & Smell- The texture of this deep radiance hand cream is soft and lightweight like how a hand cream should be. It is soft and easy to blend into the skin. It also gets absorbed well leaving no stickiness behind. The smell is a refreshing floral fragrance that is quite similar to that of the entire range.

Here are a few pointers that make the Charmis Deep Radiance range worth a try-

  • Chic pink and white packaging
  • Sturdy and safe to travel with
  • Easy availability
  • Reasonably priced
  • Loaded with the benefits of Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Salicylic Acid
  • Shows effects after a couple of weeks of religious use.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • Mild, refreshing fragrance that lingers for a decent amount of time without giving you headaches.
  • A trusted brand that is known for its quality and budget-friendliness
  • Suitable for all skin types

I would highly recommend the Charmis Deep Radiance Vitamin C Skincare range if you are looking for an affordable yet effective range of skincare products that will remove any dullness from your skin.
