At Notino, we believe that every path towards beautiful skin should be as unique as you. That’s why we’ve come up with a skincare routine made up of 6 basic steps to help you achieve radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Take inspiration from our selection and create your own effective skincare routine.
Step 1 - Cleansing and makeup removal
We start off with an extremely important step in your skincare ritual! Cleansing is the cornerstone of every skincare routine. It removes impurities from your skin, gives it a radiant appearance and also prepares it for the absorption of subsequent products.
For particularly thorough and comprehensive cleansing, discover the magic of double cleansing, also known as ‘two-phase’ skin cleansing. Start with an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover to remove makeup, SPF, grease and fine dirt particles gently from your skin.
After rinsing off the oil cleanser, move on to a water-based product to cleanse your skin deeply. Take it one step further and use a cleansing brush for even deeper cleansing.

Step 2 - An exfoliator and a mask
Add an exfoliator to your routine once per week and enjoy a couple of minutes of pampering with a face mask. The exfoliator will remove dead skin cells, support circulation and accelerate skin regeneration. Apply the exfoliator to damp skin and massage in using circular motions before rinsing off.
The right time to apply your face mask is straight after the exfoliator; the high content of active ingredients delivers maximum nourishment to your skin. Choose a face mask in accordance with what your skin currently needs. Is it crying out for extra moisturisation? Does it need to be soothed or deeply cleansed? Or do you perhaps simply need to remove excess grease?

Step 3 - Facial serums
Looking for a solution to a specific skin problem? Seek help in the active ingredients contained in facial serums and their many benefits. Some serums brighten or hydrate your skin, whilst others combat ageing. The best time to use your serum varies – some are most effective during your morning routine and others deliver better results when applied in the evening.
Always tap your serum into cleansed skin with your fingertips and allow enough time for absorption. To help the serum penetrate deeper into your skin, use a massage tool to massage it on your face.

Step 4 - An eye cream
The delicate skin around your eyes is prone to the early signs of skin ageing. Make an eye cream an indispensable part of your morning and evening routines. Eye creams and serums help smooth, fill, moisturise and strengthen the skin around your eyes. For an even greater dose of hydration, to support collagen production and to eliminate bags, opt for an eye mask.
Always apply your eye cream in small amounts, around the size of a pea. Spread gently from the inner corners to the ends of your eyebrows. Avoid contact with your eyes and the area directly round them.

Step 5 - A face cream
A rich moisturising cream is essential to maintain your skin’s balance. They prevent fast moisture evaporation, supplement your skin’s natural proteins and protect its protective barrier. Apply one to your face, neck and décolletage in the morning and evening. Night creams regenerate and nourish your skin, whilst day creams brighten it, protect it against external factors and serve as a good base for foundation.
Don’t forget to make your lips luxuriously soft with an exfoliator and moisturising balm.

Step 6 - SPF
The final step in any good skincare routine consists of an SPF cream. It acts as a guardian for your skin whenever it is exposed to harmful UV rays, even during cloudy days. Sun creams prevent the damage caused by UV radiation, both on the skin’s surface and at a cellular level. Using one regularly helps prevent pigment spots, wrinkles, dry skin and even skin cancer.
Invest in your skin’s long-term health and beauty by not overlooking an SPF cream. Apply three finger lengths’ worth of the product to your face, ears and neck.
