Moisturisers
This is as mandatory as a daily shower, no matter what your skin type. In the morning you probably want a light, hyaluronic based moisturiser, so you don’t get too greasy during the day. At night you can go a thicker one if you like. Personally, I want as light as possible, because a heavy one suffocates my skin and I feel as clammy as a pedo in a kindergarten. Resident Beaurt Expert Julia says moisturisers are very personal, so if you find one you like, stick to it.
“Moisturiser is super personal, so if you have found one you like I say stick with it! I have used a variety of different ones in my time, but always comes back to my trusty Cetaphil; I feel like if you are using enough serum/treatments for your concerns, then you can leave your moisturizer pretty simple” (Resident Beauty Expert Julia).

Also, guess what? Unless you are going to apply a tablespoon size of moisturiser with SPF, the SPF in it is not enough. You need to apply a separate sunscreen.
Sunscreen
Get a face one so it’s not hella thick - a nd that’s your day routine done!
Once you’ve put your day moisturiser on, go make some vegemite toast, because you can’t put your sunscreen and make up on for another 5 mins.
