You do not need ten steps. Here is how to split your skincare into a bright morning and a restoring night.
Most skin needs three things every day: clean it, keep it moisturized, and protect it from the sun. Everything else is a bonus. A two-cream routine gives you the bonus without the clutter.
Morning: brighten and protect
- Rinse or gently cleanse.
- Apply a brightening moisturizer.
- Finish with sunscreen.

Night: smooth and restore

- Apply your retinol cream as the last step.
- Add an eye cream if you use one.
