1. 6 - 8 AM

After a long night's rest, this is the time when hormones in the body are most active, and blood circulation is also accelerated. Additionally, Adrenaline, a stress hormone, becomes more active after you wake up, stimulating the body to produce more sebum, which can lead to clogged pores. On the other hand, skin cells also absorb water and moisture from the environment most rapidly during this period.

Therefore, what you need to do during this time slot is to cleanse your face with a gentle, mild cleanser, combined with a morning moisturizing routine. This routine should include a moisturizer containing vitamins and hydrating minerals, along with the application of sunscreen to protect your skin from sun exposure.

2. 11 AM - 12 PM

This is the time when you need to remove your base makeup and any other cosmetics on your face. At this point, the products on your skin will combine with oil and sebum, leading to clogged pores and making your skin prone to hidden acne and breakouts. Especially for office workers or students, this is also an ideal time for a nap, allowing your skin to rest after a morning of work.

If you have to be active outdoors in the sun, after removing your makeup, you'll need to reapply sunscreen to prevent tanning and darkening of the skin. Along with that, use blotting papers to absorb excess oil secreted on your face.

3. 4 - 6 PM

At this time, the skin enters its most tired and lackluster phase after long hours of work, as blood pressure and hormones in the body decrease. Therefore, you need to revitalize your skin by providing gentle moisturizing products such as milk-type lotions or facial mists.

4. 6 - 8 PM

This is considered a crucial time in your skincare routine. During this period, your skin needs to be thoroughly cleansed and have makeup removed after a tiring day of work and exposure to excessive dust and pollution from the environment. After makeup removal, you should cleanse your face with a facial cleanser and apply a hydrating toner to your skin. Afterwards, you can apply a face mask or perform massage techniques to enhance blood circulation under the skin and help firm the skin.

5. 8 - 11 PM

This is the final skincare stage for your skin. At this time, skin cells truly begin their resting, recovery, and regeneration phase after a day of activity. Consequently, the absorption capacity of nutrients from cosmetic products also increases. Therefore, you need to prioritize your skincare routine during this period, especially by using products containing ingredients like collagen or stem cells for skin recovery, regeneration, and antioxidant benefits.
