Start your morning feeling and look refreshed with a simple skincare routine. At Mockingbird Natural Skincare, we believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to taking care of your skin. That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to create a morning skincare routine that works for you. With just a few easy steps, you can wake up every morning feeling and look beautiful.
Cleansing
One popular option is to use a gentle foaming cleanser. This type of cleanser helps to get rid of dirt and excess oil while maintaining the natural pH balance of your skin. When using a foaming cleanser, apply a small amount of it onto damp skin and gently massage it into the face and neck using circular motions. Then rinse off with lukewarm water.
Another option for morning cleansing is to use an oil-based cleanser. This type of cleanser works great for removing makeup and excess sebum without stripping away your skin’s natural oils. It is best to use this type of cleanser at night because it can be quite heavy.
The third option for morning cleansing is to use micellar water. This type of cleanser works great for quickly and effectively removing dirt, oil, and makeup while leaving the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. To use micellar water, apply a generous amount to a cotton pad and swipe it across the face and neck.
No matter which type of cleanser you choose, it’s important to remember to be gentle when cleansing your skin in the morning. Too much pressure can be damaging and can cause irritation. After cleansing, make sure to pat your skin dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing or wiping it.
Toning
When applying toner, use a cotton pad or ball to apply it to your face and neck. Gently wipe the toner all over your skin and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before moving on to the next step. You can also spritz toner directly onto your skin and rub it in with your hands.
If you have dry skin, opt for an alcohol-free toner. If you have oily skin, look for a toner that contains ingredients like witch hazel, aloe vera, or green tea extract. It’s important to choose a toner that suits your specific skin type in order to get the most out of this step.
In addition to using a store-bought toner, you can also make your own natural toner from ingredients like apple cider vinegar, witch hazel, and tea tree oil. Simply mix equal parts of your chosen ingredients with some filtered water and apply as described above.
By adding toning to your morning skincare routine, you can achieve a smooth and even complexion that is ready for the day ahead.
