The Stress Relief Journal

Your Simple Skincare Routine

Great skin doesn’t need 10 products. Start with 3 steps, do them every day, and add more only when you need to.

☀️ Morning (3 steps)

1. Cleanse – wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Moisturise – use a light moisturiser to keep your skin soft.
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) – the most important step. Sunscreen protects your skin and stops dark spots getting darker. Use it every day, even when it’s cloudy.

🌙 Night (3 steps)

1. Cleanse – wash off sunscreen, makeup and dirt.
2. Treat – use a serum or cream for your skin concern (see below).
3. Moisturise – lock everything in while you sleep.

Choose your treatment

• Acne and breakouts: salicylic acid or azelaic acid
• Dark spots and uneven tone: niacinamide, kojic acid, tranexamic acid or vitamin C
• Dry skin: hyaluronic acid or ceramides
• Oily skin and big pores: niacinamide or salicylic acid

3 golden rules

• Start slow. Add one new product at a time, and give it 4–6 weeks to work.
• Patch test first. Try new products on a small area of skin before using them on your whole face.
• Never skip sunscreen, especially if you’re treating dark spots.
