Cleansing: wake up and detoxify your skin
Throughout the night, your skin regenerates and activates its cellular renewal process, which naturally helps eliminate impurities accumulated during the day. This nighttime process promotes microcirculation and collagen production, essential for maintaining a glowing, plump complexion. Upon waking, a gentle cleanse removes excess sebum, sweat, and toxins released during sleep while preparing your skin to absorb the products applied afterward. Be sure to choose formulas that respect the skin’s natural hydrolipidic film to maintain balance and avoid discomfort or tightness, which can be unpleasant during the day.
Which product to use?
•A cleansing emulsion for all skin types (like the Cleansing Emulsion by Beau Domaine)
•Micellar water or thermal water mist for sensitive skin
•A gel cleanser for combination to oily skin
Tip: Use lukewarm water to avoid drying out your skin, then finish with a splash of cold water and floral water to tone your complexion.
Hydration: the key to soft, radiant skin
It’s undeniable that hydration, both internal and external, is essential for maintaining fresh, plump, and radiant skin throughout the day. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin elasticity and supports cellular renewal, while applying suitable skincare products strengthens the skin’s protective barrier and prevents dehydration. To optimize hydration, a serum rich in hyaluronic acid is an ideal first step, followed by a moisturizer that suits your skin type. This duo seals in hydration and delivers essential nutrients for a glowing complexion and long-lasting comfort.
Which skincare to prioritize?
•A hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration.
•A fluid or rich cream depending on your skin type: Beau Domaine’s Cream for dry to mature skin, and the Fluid Cream for combination to oily skin.
•An eye contour treatment to hydrate and de-puff the under-eye area.
•A hand cream, like Beau Domaine’s Hand & Nail Cream, to nourish and protect this frequently exposed area.
Tip: Always apply your products with upward motions and finish with gentle tapping to stimulate microcirculation.
Protection: a shield against external aggressions
UV rays and pollution are the leading causes of premature skin aging. They accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and skin sagging. Exposed daily to these external factors, our skin undergoes oxidative stress that weakens its protective barrier and dulls its natural glow. Effective protection is therefore essential to preserve the health and youthfulness of your skin. Including an SPF 30 or 50 sunscreen in your routine (even in winter when you plan to be outside) and an antioxidant treatment like vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and prevent damage from environmental factors. Adopting these simple but essential steps will help maintain radiant, protected skin in the long run.
Morning essentials:
•SPF 30 or 50 sunscreen, even in winter.
•An antioxidant treatment with vitamin C to fight free radicals.
Tip: Apply your sunscreen last, after your skincare routine, and reapply throughout the day if necessary.
The extra touch: A wellness gesture to boost radiance
To enhance your skin’s glow in the morning, a few simple steps can make all the difference. Start by drinking a large glass of water on an empty stomach to rehydrate your body and support toxin elimination. Then, treat your face to a revitalizing massage using a Gua Sha or jade roller: this ancient technique stimulates blood circulation, decongests, and sculpts the face for an immediate fresh look. Finally, finish with a refreshing mist to gently wake up your skin and give it an instant feeling of freshness.
A good morning ritual takes just a few minutes but can significantly impact your skin’s radiance and health. Cleansing, hydration, and protection are the keys to a fresh and luminous complexion all day long.
