This 4-Step Routine Is Your Fast Track to Glowing Skin

Contrary to popular belief, a well-rounded skin care routine doesn’t have to take hours or be comprised of multiple steps. In fact, some of the best regimens can be completed in less than four steps. By sticking to the pure essentials, your skin can boast a naturally radiant-looking glow—all without taking time away from your hectic schedule. To that end, we’re sharing a 4-step skin care routine—with products a la Lancôme—to help you achieve clean, hydrated and glowing skin without hassle.

Step One: Cleanse with Lancôme Lait Galatée Confort
What It Is: A comforting, milky cream cleanser and makeup remover.
The first step to any well-rounded skin care routine is removing makeup. As a recap, neglecting to rid your skin of makeup and impurities can cause them to sit on the skin’s surface and potentially lead to clogged pores, which could eventually lead to breakouts, a dulled complexion, or enlarged pores. To help keep this from happening, it’s important to remove your makeup and impurities at the end of the day prior to going to bed.
Lait Galatée Confort can remove makeup before it has a chance to wreak havoc on your skin. The formula—blended with milk, honey, and sweet almond oil—feels gentle and pampering on the skin, a far cry from cleansers that strip the skin of vital moisture and leave behind a tight, dry feeling.
How to Use It: Apply to the face using circular movements. Remove with a cotton pad.

Step Two: Tone with Lancôme Tonique Confort
What It Is: A rehydrating, comforting toner.
The beauty benefits of toners are aplenty. Toners can help remove dirt, excess oil, and other impurities from the skin’s surface, acting like an insurance plan for cleansers. What’s more, they’re also great for rebalancing the skin.
While there are plenty of toners out there, we recommend giving Lancôme’s Tonique Confort a try. It’s a rose-toned rehydrating, comforting toner formulated with acacia honey. Keeping dry skin types in mind, this soothing toning lotion leaves the skin feeling clean and looking radiant.
How to Use It: Saturate a cotton pad with 3-4 drops of toner and pat over the face. Let the products sit for a few minutes, then follow up with the rest of your routine.

Step Three: Exfoliate with Lancôme Rose Sugar Scrub
What It Is: A gentle exfoliating scrub formulated with sugar grains and rose water.
Exfoliating your skin can offer a slew of benefits. Sloughing away dead surface skin cells can not only improve skin radiance and texture, but can also reveal softer, smoother skin. Depending on how your skin responds, you can exfoliate your skin either once a week or multiple times per week.
If you’d like to exfoliate just a few times per week, we recommend using Lancôme Rose Sugar Scrub. The formula is enhanced with sugar grains and rose water and can help remove impurities and dead skin cells for healthy and radiant-looking skin.
How to Use It: Apply a small amount onto clean and wet skin. Massage for one minute. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water, avoiding eye and lip contours. Use 2 to 3 times per week.

Step Four: Moisturize with Lancôme Rose Jelly Mask
What it is: A hydrating, jelly-textured face mask.
To conclude your skin care routine, reach for an overnight mask. These formulas are great because they work while you snooze. What could be easier?
Try the new Lancôme Rose Jelly Mask. The re-hydrating mask is formulated with acacia honey and rose water and can help lock in moisture, leaving your skin smoother and suppler by morning.
How to Use It: Apply onto clean and dry skin and let it infuse overnight. Follow up the next morning by continuing with your typical morning regimen. Use 2-3 times a week.
