We're all about taking the stresses out of busy mornings with effortless dressing and simplified self-care routines.
To help simplify your mornings, we caught up with the spa and skincare specialists at GAIA Skincare, who have created a back-to-basics morning skincare ritual to keep you glowing and not overwhelmed. With natural, plant-powered products that support your skin and ease your morning routine.
The start of a new season is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine. After a busy summer of social events and sunshine, your skin might be feeling a little tired or unbalanced so now’s the time to nourish it with some extra care.
Here’s GAIA’s simple 4-step skincare routine to help simplify morning routines this Autumn:
1. Cleanse, gently
Start your day with a clean canvas and a light refresh, GAIA’s Naturally Facial Wash is perfect for gently lifting away impurities, leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed. With a blend of aloe vera and rose water it will leave your skin gently hydrated.
2. Tone to soothe and rebalance
Next, restore balance with a gentle toner. We love the easy spritz cap of the Crystal Purifying Toner, with a blend of rose and lemon verbena water to calming the skin, soothing redness and inflammation. Toners not only remove traces of leftover product but also help to hydrate and prep your skin for the next steps.
3. Hydrate deeply with a serum
Adding a serum to your routine, especially during the cooler months, give your skin the extra hydration it craved. Add a few drops of GAIA’s vitamin-rich Naturally Face Serum to your face, neck, and décolleté, gently patting into the skin instead of rubbing. Packed with nourishing ingredients to help support and protect your skin’s delicate barrier.
4. Nourish and protect
Seal in moisture whilst protecting your skin with GAIA’s Minera SPF Moisturiser, a lightweight formular offering SPF 25+ protection, perfect for everyday use. Enriched with apricot kernel oil and geranium, it soothes, hydrates, and offers the perfect base for make up.
More than anything, your mornings are about setting yourself up for the day, giving you a few moments of selfcare and self-love, making you feel the very best for whatever the days ahead brings, so allow yourself to invest in what makes you feel good and more confident.
