Why a routine matters so much

Your skin loves consistency. Just as your body benefits from a regular sleep rhythm or adequate hydration, your skin benefits from a fixed routine. Consistency! Not the most expensive product is the key to visible improvement over the long term.

Especially after 35, the skin changes. Cell renewal slows down. Collagen and elastin decrease. Hydration holds less well. A good routine delivers exactly what your skin needs at each moment of the day.

Step 1 - Cleanse: Cleansing Foam

Every routine begins with a clean slate. The Cleansing Foam removes dirt, excess sebum and residues from the day without damaging the skin barrier or drying out the skin. The mousse texture is gentle and effective, suitable for normal to dry skin.

✦  Use lukewarm water. Water that is too hot dries the skin and disrupts the barrier.

Step 2 - Tone: Hydrating Toner

A toner is the step most people skip. The Hydrating Toner rebalances the skin's pH after cleansing and prepares the skin for the following steps. Because the skin can now absorb more effectively, your serum and moisturiser work significantly better.

✦  Apply the toner with clean hands. Gently press, do not rub.

Step 3 - Serum: Vitamin C Serum (daytime)

During the day, SESE recommends the Vitamin C Serum. Vitamin C is one of the best-documented anti-aging ingredients: it stimulates collagen production, protects against free radicals caused by UV radiation and pollution, and gives the skin a visible glow. Our serum contains a stable form of Vitamin C combined with Ferulic Acid for maximum effectiveness.

✦  Apply the serum before your day cream on slightly damp skin for optimal absorption.

Step 4 - Moisturise: Firming Day Cream

The Firming Day Cream cares for, hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier. It is formulated to support the skin against daily environmental exposure such as wind, stress and fine particles. The light texture absorbs quickly and is ideal as a base under makeup.

Step 5 - Protect: SPF 50 Sunscreen Stick

This is the step that makes the difference and that most people skip. UV radiation is responsible for up to 80 to 90% of visible skin aging. Daily SPF is therefore the most impactful anti-aging product in existence. The SESE SPF 50 Sunscreen Stick makes this effortless: compact, no white cast, reef-friendly.

✦  Apply SPF as the final step of your morning routine, after your day cream.
✦  Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.
✦  Use it in winter too: UVA radiation is active all year round.
