My Morning & Evening Skincare Rituals: Science, Luxury, and a Bit of Magic

Skincare, to me, isn’t just about products—it’s a ritual. A quiet moment of self-respect that bookends my day. Whether I’m racing between styling appointments or prepping for fashion week chaos, these routines help me reset, recharge, and glow—on and off the clock.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what’s really in my skincare lineup, here it is: a combination of cult-favorites, dermatologist-approved heroes, and a touch of French pharmacy magic.

Morning Routine: Rise and Shine (and Brighten and Protect)

The goal? Hydrated, lifted, and absolutely protected skin that plays well with makeup and doesn’t flinch in the face of stress, pollution, or that triple espresso.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. Toner: Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400.

A gentle yet potent exfoliator that balances, resurfaces, and preps the skin. I call it the facial in a bottle. It’s my wake-up call in a swipe.

2. Serums: The Biologique Trifecta

•Oligo-Protéines Marines: Brightening and energizing, perfect after a late night or red-eye flight.

•Collagène Originel: A firming serum that boosts elasticity and gives me that “post-facial bounce.”

•ISO-Placenta: For regeneration and healing—especially if my skin’s been under stress or recovering from a breakout.

3. Antioxidant Serum: SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.

A must. Vitamin C with ferulic acid that fights off environmental damage, evens tone, and enhances glow.

4. Eye Cream: Dr. Brandt Fatigue Fighting Eye Gel.

Cooling, de-puffing, and actually works under makeup. It’s the under-eye concealer’s best friend.

5. SPF: Sisley Super Soin Solaire SPF 50.

Silky, non-greasy, and no white cast. It’s pricey but worth every drop—because no glow survives without protection.

6. Day Cream: Biologique Recherche Crème Grand Millésime.

Rich but never heavy, this cream locks everything in and leaves a soft, nourished finish.

My Morning Mantra:

Protection + Prevention = Glow.

Evening Routine: Reset and Rebuild

Evenings are for slowing down. For letting skincare work while I do absolutely nothing (or binge old fashion shows). This is where the real transformation happens.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. Toner: Biologique Recherche P50 PIGM 400

Yes, again. Because glowing skin never takes a night off.

2. Resurfacing Serum: La Mer The Resurfacing Treatment

Think of this as a gentle polish. It smooths, brightens, and keeps texture in check without drying me out.

3. Anti-Aging Serum: SkinCeuticals P-Tiox

A peptide-powered formula that targets fine lines and helps the skin feel firm and lifted. Basically, Botox in a bottle (almost).

4. Regenerative Serum: Biologique Recherche Progeskin

Deep cell repair, especially helpful when I’ve had a long day in the sun or under makeup.

5. Night Cream: RéVive Intensité Crème Lustre Night

A luxurious, collagen-boosting moisturizer that hydrates, firms, and makes me wake up like I’ve had 9 hours of sleep—even if I’ve had 5.

My Evening Mantra:

Repair + Renewal = Radiance.

Final Thoughts

Is this routine extra? Absolutely.

But is it effective? Without question.

This skincare journey is as curated as my wardrobe—tailored to what my skin needs today, but with a timeless, luxurious core that doesn’t go out of style. And just like with fashion, it’s not about trends. It’s about what works.

So whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist, let your skincare be a form of self-respect, not stress. Because your skin deserves to be styled, too.
