Maintaining a simple yet effective personal care routine is essential for healthy, glowing skin and hair. At Swiss Cosmetics Labs, we recommend a four-step core routine: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, and protect โ with a few adjustments depending on the season. Hereโs our suggested daily and weekly personal care schedule:
Face Care Routine
Face Cleanser (Wash):
- Use twice daily โ morning and night, before applying your face moisturiser. Always follow up with a face moisturiser.
Face Exfoliator (Scrub):
- Use twice a week, ideally at night, before moisturising. When you exfoliate, skip the cleanser โ the exfoliator will do the cleansing. Always follow up with a face moisturiser.
Face Moisturizer:
- Apply twice daily. Day moisturiser in the morning. Night moisturiser in the evening, before sleep. Always, apply after cleansing or exfoliating.
Sun Protection (Sunscreen):
- Apply when exposed to sunlight (UV Index > 2). Use after moisturising. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Reapply every few hours during continuous sun exposure.
Hair Care Routine
Hair Cleanser (Shampoo):
- Use twice a week (every 2โ3 days). For very active lifestyles, shampoo every other day. Always follow up with a hair moisturiser (conditioner).
Hair Moisturizer (Conditioner):
- Use twice a week, after shampooing.
Body Care Routine
Body Cleanser (Wash or Soap):
- Use once or twice daily, depending on your lifestyle. Cleanse in the morning and/or evening as needed.
Body Moisturizer:
- Use twice a week, especially on elbows, hands, knees, and feet, which tend to dry out faster.
