You don't need 10 products. For Pakistan's strong sun and heat, a 4-step routine does most of the work. Here it is.
The morning routine (AM)
- Cleanser — a gentle face wash to remove overnight oil.
- Vitamin C serum — brightens and fades dark spots over time. Apply on clean, dry skin.
- Moisturiser — lightweight for oily skin, richer for dry skin.
- Sunscreen SPF 50+ — the most important step. Reapply if you're outdoors.
The night routine (PM)
1. Cleanser 2. Hyaluronic acid serum (hydration) 3. Moisturiser. That's it.
Why sunscreen matters most here
Pakistan gets intense year-round UV. Sunscreen is what prevents tanning, dark spots, and early ageing — a vitamin C serum without daily SPF is wasted effort. Choose SPF 50 or higher, broad-spectrum.
| Concern | Hero product | Look for |
|---|---|---|
| Dullness / dark spots | Vitamin C serum | 10–20% Vitamin C |
| Dryness | Hyaluronic acid serum | "hydrating", "HA" |
| Sun protection | Sunscreen | SPF 50+, broad-spectrum |
