A routine you can keep

Three steps in the morning, three at night. Start with these, give your skin four weeks, then change one thing at a time.

Morning

Wash gently, brighten, and never skip sunscreen in Xiamen’s sun.

Start with a cream wash. It cleans without leaving skin tight.

Pat in the essence while skin is still damp.

Finish with sunscreen, two finger lengths for face and neck.

Evening

Repair what the day wore down, then seal it in before sleep.

Smooth on the barrier serum after washing.

Add the repair drops three nights a week at first.

Press balm onto lips and dry patches last.

Patch test anything new

Dab a little behind your ear or along your jaw for three evenings. No itching or redness? Add it to your routine.

With retinal, start every third night and build up over a month.

Buy the routine as a set

The Morning and Evening sets hold full-size bottles and cost less than buying each one.
