Your skin needs fewer products than the beauty industry would have you believe. Cleansing, hydration and sunscreen – every day – will take you a long way. Here is the guide to a routine that is easy to keep up and gentle on both your skin and your everyday life.
Reading time approx. 4 min
Cleanse in the evening, hydrate morning and evening, protect in the morning.
A couple of minutes morning and evening. A routine you actually keep beats one that is perfect.
From thinnest to thickest. Sunscreen always last in the morning.
Every new product is a new chance for your skin to react. When a routine has ten products, it is hard to know what helps and what gets in the way. With three or four, you can clearly see how your skin is doing.
Skin also has its own way of looking after itself: it renews itself, produces its own lipids and has a protective barrier. A good routine supports that rather than working against it.
What matters most isn't which products you have, but that you use them – every day.
In the morning it's about protection. Skin rarely needs a thorough cleanse after the night – for many people, water is enough. Then hydration and sunscreen.
In the evening it's about cleansing and recovery. Make-up, sunscreen, sebum and city air need to come off, and the skin gets hydration for the night. If your skin feels dry, you can finish with a richer cream.
Ingredients of natural origin come from plants, minerals or other natural sources, often in processed form. The term describes where the raw material comes from – not how gentle it is.
Some plant ingredients are very mild, while others, such as some essential oils, can irritate. Choose based on what your skin needs and tolerates, not only on where an ingredient comes from.
Skonsam hudvård är hudvård som tar hand om huden utan att belasta hudbarriären – hudens yttersta skyddslager. I praktiken betyder det:
Skonsam hudvård passar alla, men är särskilt viktig för känslig och torr hud.
Känslig hud reagerar lätt med rodnad, sveda eller klåda. Då gäller det att hålla rutinen kort:
Mineralbaserade solskydd, som Luminous Defence SPF 50, brukar uppfattas som milda av många med känslig hud.
One key ingredient from each product – and what it does.
A mild plant oil that dissolves make-up and sebum and keeps cleansing soft.
Found in: Velvet Cleansing Oil-to-MilkA versatile, well-studied ingredient that suits most skin types.
Found in: Niacinamide Gel Moisturiser (5 %)A rich plant butter that softens and helps the skin retain moisture.
Found in: Velvet Barrier CreamA mineral filter that protects against both UVA and UVB.
Found in: Luminous Defence SPF 50Four products, but you don't need them all. Start with what you're missing most – the rest can come later.
Massage onto dry skin, add water and rinse. Make-up and sunscreen come off with it.
Velvet Cleansing Oil-to-MilkA light gel cream that absorbs instantly and works under both sunscreen and night cream.
Niacinamide Gel MoisturiserDoes your skin feel dry or tight? Finish the evening with a richer cream.
Velvet Barrier CreamAlways last in the morning, all year round.
Luminous Defence SPF 50More products means better skin.
More products means more chances of irritation. A simple routine used every day often gives better results.
Skin gets used to products and stops responding.
Skin doesn't become immune to hydration or sunscreen. If a product seems less effective, it may be your skin that has changed – with the seasons, for example.
Natural always means gentle.
Origin says nothing about how your skin will react. Some natural ingredients are among the most common causes of skin irritation.
Everything for a simple routine. Choose the parts that suit you.
↗
The evening cleanser. Turns from oil to milk when it meets water.
↗
Morning and evening hydration in a light gel.
↗
A rich night cream for when your skin needs extra.
From thinnest to thickest: cleanser, gel moisturiser, cream. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.
Not necessarily. A serum is a way to add a specific ingredient. If your routine works and there's nothing in particular you want to improve, you'll do just fine without one.
The basics can stay the same. Many people want a richer cream when it's cold and dry, and get by with just a gel moisturiser when it's warm and humid.
Inte automatiskt. Det viktiga är att produkterna passar din hud och att du använder dem regelbundet. Många bra rutiner kombinerar naturliga råvaror med välbeprövade ingredienser som niacinamid.
