Starting the week off with good skin care habits can set the tone for the rest of the week. Here are some simple tips to help you maintain healthy and radiant skin on Monday and every day.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.
- Cleanse: Start the day with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or oil accumulated overnight. Use lukewarm water and avoid using hot water, which can strip the skin of its natural oils.
- MoisturiSe: Apply a moisturiser to lock in hydration and protect the skin from environmental stressors. Look for a moisturiser that matches your skin type and don’t forget to apply it to your neck and décolletage.
- Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re spending a lot of time outdoors.
- Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to allow your skin to recover and regenerate.
- Avoid touching your face: Keep your hands away from your face to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and dirt that can cause breakouts.
- Eat a healthy diet: Incorporate a diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats to provide the skin with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
By following these simple skin care tips, you can start your week with a glowing complexion and maintain healthy skin all week long. Remember, a consistent and gentle approach to skin care is key to achieving and maintaining healthy skin.

Knowing how and when to moisturise is just as important as the actual moisturiser you use on your face and body. Keep reading to learn the best times to incorporate moisturiser into your skin care routine – and how to apply it – for your most gorgeous looking skin yet.
Use moisturiser in the morning
Set your skin up for success by moisturising before you head out for the day. Moisturising should be the last step in your skin care routine before applying make-up, so don’t forget to use a face cream or lotion before applying your Annique foundation or BB Cream.
Use a moisturiser when you are breaking out
The first thing you may think when an unwanted breakout occurs is that you need to remove all moisture from your skin. And that’s totally the case, right? Wrong, in reality drying out your complexion won’t do you any favours! Keeping your skin care routine consistent, including moisturising up to eight times a day, is always a good idea.
Use a moisturiser…before you doing your make-up for a night out
As we mentioned earlier, applying a moisturiser should be the final step in your skin care routine, before you apply make-up for a night out – without repeating your skin care routine – it’s still important to moisturise. Using a moisturiser will hydrate and smooth out your skin, giving you the ideal complexion for applying your make-up look of choice. Seriously, try it!
How to apply your moisturiser
Press moisturiser onto your face; do not rub it in
- Pressing a moisturiser onto your face is a super gentle and non-irritating way of moisturising
- Pressing gives the skin a concentrated dose of moisturiser
- More of the moisturiser gets into your skin rather than rubbed into your hands
- Pressing pushes moisturiser ‘in’ rather than stretching your skin
