My morning routine is all about waking up my skin and adding back the brightness I naturally lack.

Since my complexion leans dull, I gravitate toward hydrating and glow-boosting products that revive my face before I start the day. These are the staples I reach for every morning!

Cerave Cleanser

This cleanser consistently leaves my skin feeling clean without stripping it. The creamy texture breaks down leftover makeup and sunscreen effortlessly, and it keeps my face feeling soft instead of tight. It's a simple step, but it sets the tone for the rest of my routine.

Pixi Vitamin C Mask

This mask feels like a fresh burst of energy first thing in the morning. Once I rinse it off, my skin looks a touch clearer and more awake. It's a quick way to prep my face before any serums go on.

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Serum

A concentrated serum that spreads easily—you only need a tiny amount. It helps even out my skin tone and gives that "quiet glow" that comes from within. With consistent use, it helps my skin look smoother and more radiant overall.

Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Shooting Gel

My holy grail moisturizer. It sinks into the skin so beautifully, making everything feel plush and hydrated rather than sitting on the surface. It keeps my face feeling balanced and nourished all morning.

Heimish Tone-Up Sunscreen

This sunscreen adds an instant glass-skin finish, giving my complexion a soft glow. Three small drops are enough, since it brightens the skin tone quickly. I like that it doesn't pill, even when layered over my hydrating products, and it leaves my skin luminous in a natural way.

This routine has helped bring back life to my dull skin while keeping it moisturized and protected. Every product plays a role—from cleansing to brightening to glowing—and together they make my mornings feel refreshed and intentional. Let me know which products you're loving in your AM routine too!
