7-Step Clear Skin Routine

Step 1: Cleanse your skin

Cleansing is the first and most crucial step in any clear skin routine. Choose a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser suitable for your skin type. In the morning, cleanse your face to remove excess oil and impurities that have accumulated overnight. We recommend using the Bright Complete Vitamin C gel facewash which is infused with Vitamin C and lemon. This paraben and silicon-free product is perfect for your routine for clear skin as it deeply cleans your skin without over-drying it.

In the evening, cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants from the day. Cleansing prepares your skin for the next steps and prevents clogged pores. The first step in cleansing at night is to use a makeup remover to remove your makeup and all impurities and then to use a gentle cleansing facewash to further freshen up your skin. Try the Garnier Micellar cleansing water which attracts makeup, dirt and impurities in a single swipe. It is free from fragrance, paraben and alcohol thus making it an ideal product for a clear skin routine at night. Follow it up with the Bright Complete Vitamin C face wash.

Step 2: Exfoliate it at least 2-3 times a week

Exfoliation in a clear skin routine helps to remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover and prevent clogged pores. However, be gentle, as excessive exfoliation can cause irritation and damage the skin barrier. Choose an exfoliant with ingredients like glycolic acid or salicylic acid, as they are effective yet gentle on the skin.

Step 3: Use a toner

Toning is the next step in this clear skin routine as it helps to balance your skin's pH levels and tighten pores. Look for an alcohol-free toner containing soothing ingredients. Apply it with a cotton pad or spray it directly onto your face and gently pat it in.

Step 4: Apply a serum

Serums are packed with potent ingredients that target various skin issues. Look for serums containing hyaluronic acid for hydration, vitamins C and E for antioxidants, or niacinamide for overall skin improvement. Gently massage the serum into your face and neck to boost its absorption. Try the Bright Complete Vitamin C serum that is concentrated with Vitamin C, Yuzu lemon and Niacinamide that reduces dark spots and acne spots in just three days. Add this product to your routine for clear skin for its multiple benefits.

You can also replace it with a sheet mask to provide intense hydration and target pimples to get clear skin. Sheet masks like the Bright Complete anti-pimple sheet and the Hydra Bomb sheet mask are ideal to add to your clear skin routine.

Step 5: Moisturise your skin twice a day

Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Choose a moisturiser appropriate for your skin type—whether it's lightweight for oily skin or richer for dry skin. Apply moisturiser to your face and neck, ensuring even coverage. Moisturising twice a day maintains your skin's moisture balance and keeps it looking plump and youthful. Use the Bright Complete Vitamin C serum cream with UV that helps reduce dark spots and pimple scars.

For your nighttime routine for clear skin, use the Bright Complete Vitamin C yoghurt night cream that is enriched with vitamin C, Lemon essence, and Yoghurt Bifidus. It helps exfoliate dead skin cells at night and reduces dark spots by reaching into the deepest layers of your skin at night.

Step 7: Do not skip a sunscreen

Sunscreen is non-negotiable for any skin type. UV rays can damage your skin and cause premature ageing, pigmentation, and even skin cancer. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Apply it generously to your face, neck, and any exposed areas, and reapply every two hours when outdoors. We recommend using the Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream with SPF 40/PA +++ which protects your skin from any further skin damage caused by UV rays.

Remember to be patient, as it takes time to see noticeable results. Tailor your clear skin routine to your specific skin type and concerns, and you'll be well on your way to achieving the clear skin you desire. So what are you waiting for?
