The Ultimate Morning Skincare Routine For Healthy, Radiant Skin

The skin is the freshest in the morning, after it rejuvenates itself with restful sleep; and, of course, the nourishing night care rituals from the night before that add to the skin’s health and luminosity! But all that care for the skin can go to vain if it is not followed by a simple morning skincare routine, because the skin requires a gentle boost of hydration to “kick start” the day. This is similar to how the rest of the body also requires a boost in the morning and why Ayurveda suggests the ritual of Ushapana, or the first drink of water to activate the body’s systems for the day. Additionally, the skin is the most sensitive and fragile after waking up – hence, we must avoid using chemical cleansers in the morning, as these can harm the skin in the long run. The first thing you should apply to your face in the morning, should ideally be fresh water followed by a gentle, SLS free face cleanser; this will help to completely cleanse your skin of any of the remnants from the skin’s repair activity through the night.

About The Forest Essentials Rasa Activating Serum & Tejal Balancing Water

At Forest Essentials, our team of doctors and researchers have formulated a highly effective Facial Care Duo including an award winning Facial Serum and a toning Essence – which help activate the skin’s functions at the start of the day and to replenish the skin’s natural moisture, keeping it hydrated and plump. This nourishing, humectant rich Serum and Essence are lightweight in texture, thereby suiting all skin types. Enriched with naturally derived Hyaluronic Acid, age defying herb extracts and collagen boosting Vitamins, this duo regenerates the skin cells, moisturises dry skin, balances oily skin and soothes sensitive skin. Forest Essentials’ Rasa Activating Serum creates a pathway for effective absorption of nutrients from the products applied next onto the skin, in your morning skincare routine. Due to its lightweight ‘water-like’ texture, it is instantly absorbed by the skin and provides a dewy shine, as it is gently dabbed into the skin. When followed by the Forest Essentials Tejal Balancing Water, the skin is immersed in a veil of nutrients which regulate the skin’s collagen production, balance the skin’s pH and deeply moisturise it. Together, these products enhance the skin’s elasticity and natural radiance, while prepping the skin for the day ahead.

While the nourishing and balancing, Rasa & Tejal are the perfect fit in your morning skincare routine; our Ayurveda Experts have recommended various effective morning facial care routines which seamlessly incorporate this Duo as per your unique skin types.

Morning Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin

Oily skin types should favor natural cleansers and toners with purifying and balancing ingredients which clear and calm the skin. Follow with a gel based or oil free moisturiser which controls the excess oil production in the skin. For this,

• Wash your face with the Delicate Facial Cleanser Kashmiri Saffron & Neem and follow with the Facial Tonic Mist Bela to cleanse and tone the skin.
• Apply the Facial Care Duo, Rasa Activating Serum & Tejal Balancing Water, one after the other to prep and plump the skin.
• Moisturise with Light Day Lotion Lavendar & Neroli to nourish the skin. Alternatively, if your skin breaks out often or is sensitive, opt for Light Hydrating Pure Aloe Vera Facial Gel to lightly moisturise and cool the skin.
• Shield your skin with a pump of Sun Fluid for protection from harmful UV A & B rays.

People with dry skin often wake up with parched, dehydrated skin even after an intensely nourishing night cream. It is therefore essential to pick natural cleansers which do not strip the skin’s natural moisture, to start your daily skincare routine. Next, use a rich moisturiser that nourishes dry skin. Here is the step by step ritual:

• Wash your face with the Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater Facial Cleanser and follow with the Rosewater Facial Tonic Mist to cleanse and tone the skin.

Morning Skin Care Routine For Extremely Sensitive Skin
