So you have your daily skincare routine in place but what about your weekly regimen? You know you have to exfoliate and apply a mask twice a week but when exactly? And we bet more often than not, you forget it altogether, thanks to your jam-packed schedule.
To help you ease it out, we have made a weekly skincare calendar so you don’t miss out on showering your skin with all the care and love it deserves. Whether you want to reduce dark circles with an eye cream or control excessive oil, we’ve got you covered.
- Monday: Cleanse + Tone + Moisturise
- Tuesday: Cleanse + Mask + Tone + Moisturise
- Wednesday: Cleanse + Exfoliate + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
- Thursday: Cleanse + Tone + Moisturise
- Friday: Cleanse + Tone + Serum + Eyes
- Saturday: Cleanse + Mask + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
- Sunday: Cleanse + Exfoliate + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
Monday: Cleanse + Tone + Moisturise
Mondays are hectic, plus you’re dealing with Monday blues, so let’s keep it simple. A usual CTM routine is enough to kick start your week, don’t load your skin with too many products.
Tuesday: Cleanse + Mask + Tone + Moisturise
Other than your regular cleansing, toning and moisturising, include a mask in your night time skincare routine. We suggest using a skin-specific face mask for best results. If you have oily skin look for a clay or charcoal based mask, and for dry skin use a hydrating sheet mask.
Wednesday: Cleanse + Exfoliate + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
Apart from masking, your skin also needs to be exfoliated twice a week, so scrub dead skin cells and deep set dirt off on this day. While you are at it, don’t ignore your eye area, this delicate part of your face requires moisturising too. After cleansing and exfoliating, apply a concern-specific face serum to get healthy and glowing skin.
Thursday: Cleanse + Tone + Moisturise
Just like you need a day off from the gym, your skin too needs a break in between. Therefore, on Thursdays stick to a simple CTM routine.
Friday: Cleanse + Tone + Serum + Eyes
After a night of partying, you wouldn’t want to keep your skincare routine elaborate. We understand and have therefore kept it simple. Don’t forget to apply an eye serum or cream unless you want to wake up with puffy eyes the day after partying.
Saturday: Cleanse + Mask + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
It’s the weekend, time to pamper your skin with some TLC. Whip up a DIY mask using some of your favourite skincare ingredients from the pantry or stick to your usual, but don’t forget masking! Use this day to also gently tap some serum on your skin and apply eye cream to relax your eyes after that long marathon of Netflix shows.
Sunday: Cleanse + Exfoliate + Serum + Eyes + Moisturise
Follow the same routine as Saturday and replace masking with exfoliating. This Sunday skincare routine will prepare your skin for the week to follow.
