Use a hydrating toner to restore your skin's pH balance. Look for toners with ingredients like rose water or witch hazel to soothe and prep your skin for better absorption of subsequent products.

Choose a serum with Vitamin C or hyaluronic acid to boost radiance and hydration. For acne-prone skin, look for niacinamide to reduce inflammation and salicylic acid to prevent breakouts.

Apply a nourishing night cream or moisturizer to lock in hydration. Opt for products with glycerin, shea butter, tea tree oil, or cica to keep your skin supple and hydrated overnight.

Gently dab an eye cream around your eyes to hydrate and reduce puffiness. Ingredients like caffeine or peptides can help brighten the area and diminish dark circles.

If your skin tends to be dry, consider adding a few drops of face oil for an extra boost of hydration. Oils like argan or jojoba can provide a beautiful glow.

Use a mild exfoliator to slough off dead skin cells, revealing a fresh layer underneath. This helps in promoting cell turnover and enhances your skin's texture. Avoid over-exfoliating, as it can irritate the skin.

Ensure you get enough sleep, as it plays a crucial role in your skin's health. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality rest to allow your skin to repair and rejuvenate.
