Discover the correct order of skincare products for your routine
Darlings, cleansing and toning your face should be done twice a day for a FRESH, SMOOTH and HYDRATED-LOOKING complexion. Charlotte’s face cleansers help to remove any dirt, sweat, excess oil, dead skin cells and residue makeup for RADIANT LOOKING skin, while Charlotte’s face toners refine your pores for skin that looks RENEWED.
Darlings, the sun can damage your skin and this is why it’s so important to wear a daily SPF. Charlotte’s Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer is a sunscreen and primer in one, flooding your skin with HYDRATION and SPF 50 protection. It’s the last product to apply during your daily skincare routine, right before you apply your makeup!
If your skin cells are sufficiently hydrated, your skin can appear more PLUMP and GLOWING. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help hydrate your skin. Then, apply one of Charlotte’s world-famous hydrating moisturisers to LOCK IN that moisture for a soft, smooth and supple-looking complexion.
Exfoliating is one of the most essential steps in your skincare routine if you’re dreaming of a RADIANT complexion. Charlotte’s Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial is a dual-action, bead-free acid exfoliator that helps unclog your pores, improves the look of skin texture while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more YOUTHFUL-LOOKING skin.
Nighttime is when your skin rests, recovers and repairs itself! Give it a helping hand by aiming to get at least eight hours of beauty sleep each night and ALWAYS remove your makeup before going to bed! Charlotte’s Take It All Off makeup remover is infused with EYEBRIGHT and chamomile to CLEAN, COMFORT and CONDITION your eyes, lashes and lips!
Tilbury Tip: If you’re often tired and skip your nighttime skincare routine, bring it forward to an hour or two before you go to bed! This gives your skin some extra time to breathe, absorb the skincare and get all the nourishment it needs before bedtime.
Darlings, hyaluronic acid is a MAGICAL ingredient that your body naturally produces to retain its moisture levels. It contributes to your skin’s elasticity to help your skin appear GLOWY and PLUMP, so adding hyaluronic acid-infused products into your routine is a no-brainer. Hyaluronic acid can be found in many of Charlotte’s ICONIC skincare and beauty products including Charlotte’s Magic Cream and Hyaluronic Happikiss.
Eating well is one of the secrets to achieving SMOOTH-LOOKING, BEAUTIFUL skin. Get your fix of skin-loving vitamins like A and C by incorporating brightly coloured fruit and vegetables into your diet to boost your skin’s defences against free radical damage. Another MAGIC tip for a RADIANT complexion is to consume omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts and seeds.
Darlings, it’s one of the oldest skincare tricks in the book, but moisturising day and night is ESSENTIAL for HEALTHY-LOOKING skin and a DEWY complexion. Charlotte’s world-famous hydrating moisturisers, including the award-winning Charlotte’s Magic Cream, will cocoon your skin in moisture for a PLUMPER-LOOKING complexion.
Tilbury Tip: Is your skin type oily or combination? Try Charlotte’s Magic Cream Light for a lighter-textured version of the much-loved original.
Squeezing your spots might be tempting but it can actually spread bacteria and increase the chances of scarring. Instead, use Charlotte’s Goddess Skin Clay Mask for smoother and fresher ‘baby skin’ in just 10 minutes. Also look for products containing retinol, like Charlotte’s Magic Night Cream and Magic Eye Rescue.
The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate and so requires some special TLC! Charlotte’s MIRACLE-MAKING eye cream will help to reduce the look of puffiness and bags for WIDE-AWAKE eyes that WOW!
Be sure to dedicate time to using face masks! Charlotte’s Goddess Skin Clay Mask is the perfect pampering product for SMOOTHER-LOOKING skin and CLEARER-LOOKING pores, while Charlotte’s Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask is a fast-track way to flood your skin with moisture for a HYDRATED complexion. For a REFRESHING, LIFT-EFFECT face mask treatment, try Charlotte’s Cryo Recovery Mask inspired by the ice-tech of cryotherapy and facial acupressure!
Not applying enough of a product can mean your skin doesn’t get all the NUTRIENTS it needs. Meanwhile, applying too much of a product can lead to waste. Read Charlotte’s guide to how much skincare product to apply for the perfect application every single time.
Darlings, your skin will tell you what it needs. If it’s feeling particularly dry, it’s calling out for more hydration and moisture! And if it’s feeling particularly sensitive one day, take a breather from certain products and adjust your routine accordingly.
