Morning Routine for Glowing Skin

Glow in the morning is not a highlighter. It is water held in the skin, plus light bouncing off a smooth surface. You can get there in five minutes if you stop treating the AM as a second PM.

Cleanse only if you need to — many faces do better with a rinse or a single pump of Pureté. Follow with Serein while skin is damp, then Lumière, then a thin veil of Nuit if you run dry. Mist Brume over makeup at 11am instead of powdering the life out of your cheeks.

The non-negotiable is sunscreen. Aura (vitamin C) under SPF is the only “brightening” step that compounds. Everything else is optional.

If you do one thing differently this month: apply cream to a wet face. Hydration is a sandwich. The filling needs bread on both sides.
