When it comes to skincare, one of the most common questions people ask is:
“Do I really need a separate morning and night routine?”

The answer is: Yes—and here’s why.

Your skin behaves differently during the day and at night. It faces external stressors during the day and shifts to repair mode while you sleep. Using the same products morning and night can limit results. A smart routine that supports your skin’s natural rhythm will give you visible improvements in glow, texture, and health.

Why Your Morning Skincare Routine Matters

Your daytime skincare should focus on protection and prevention.

What Your Skin Faces During the Day:

• UV rays

• Pollution

• Sweat and oil buildup

• Dust and bacteria

• Blue light from screens

What Your Morning Routine Should Do:

• Cleanse gently

• Hydrate and prep the skin

• Brighten and protect

• Create a barrier against environmental stress

Suggested Morning Routine:

1. Cleanser:
   Use a gentle, sulphate-free cleanser like Satthwa Neem & Turmeric Face Wash to remove overnight buildup and wake up the skin.

2. Toner or Mist: (optional)
   Refreshes the skin and tightens pores.

3. Vitamin C Serum:
   Apply a few drops of Satthwa Vitamin C Serum to boost radiance and fight pigmentation. Vitamin C also protects the skin from UV damage when used under sunscreen.

4. Moisturiser:
   Use a lightweight moisturiser that hydrates without feeling greasy.

5. Sunscreen (MUST):
   Even indoors, sunscreen is essential to prevent premature ageing and skin damage.

Why Your Night Skincare Routine Is Just As Important

At night, your skin switches to repair and renewal mode.

What Happens While You Sleep:

• Skin cells regenerate

• Collagen production increases

• Blood flow to the skin improves

• Skin absorbs nutrients better

What Your Night Routine Should Do:

• Remove dirt and makeup

• Restore hydration

• Boosts cell turnover

• Target specific skin concerns like ageing or pigmentation

Suggested Night Routine:

1. Cleanser:
   Use a gentle face wash to remove dirt, sweat, and sunscreen from the day.

2. Treatment Serum:
   Apply Satthwa Bakuchiol Serum — a natural alternative to retinol. It helps reduce fine lines, improves skin tone, and supports overnight repair—without irritation.

3. Aloe Vera Gel or Moisturiser:
   Lock in moisture with Satthwa Aloe Vera Gel, which soothes and hydrates the skin while you sleep.

4. (Optional) Use under-eye cream or spot treatment if needed.
