You do not need 12 products. A gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum and the right protection are all it takes for radiant skin.

The 5-Minute Daily Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

Good skin does not come from the number of products you use - it comes from consistency of the right basics.

Morning: Cleanse with a pH-balanced, sulphate-free face wash. Pat dry, apply 2 drops of a hydrating facial serum, then follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher, rain or shine.

Evening: Double-cleanse if you wore sunscreen or makeup. Apply the serum again on damp skin. Seal with a thin layer of moisturiser. Once a week, add an exfoliant - not more.

The most common mistake: applying actives to a dry face. Water amplifies hydration - apply serum within 60 seconds of cleansing.

Do not forget your neck and the back of your hands - they age faster than your face.
