Let’s talk skincare! If you’re after a routine that’s simple but oh-so-effective, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to streamline your steps, this 5-step routine is perfect. Avon makes it easy to get glowing, healthy skin—and it doesn’t need to take forever. Let’s break it down!
1. Cleanse
Cleansing is the first and most important step. It clears away dirt, oil, and makeup, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean. Think of it as giving your face a clean slate so all the other products can do their magic.
At the end of the day, this step is non-negotiable—especially if you wear makeup. A gentle cleanser will melt away foundation, sunscreen, and the day’s grime.
Why it’s essential: Cleansing not only refreshes your skin but also keeps your pores from clogging. And let’s be real, nothing feels better than a clean face before bed!
2. Tone
Toner might seem like an extra step, but trust me, it’s a game-changer. After cleansing, toner sweeps away any residue your cleanser might have missed, balances your skin’s pH, and preps it for the next steps.
Think of it as a mini reset for your skin—plus, it feels super refreshing.
Pro tip: Use a cotton pad or reusable cloth to gently apply toner across your face and neck. It’s quick, easy, and gets your skin ready for the real magic to happen.
3. Eye Cream
The skin around your eyes is delicate and needs a bit of extra love. Whether you’re dealing with dark circles, fine lines, or puffiness, an eye cream is your new best friend.
Applying eye cream daily keeps the area hydrated and smooth, and it makes a massive difference in how fresh you look—even on those early mornings!
How to apply: Use your ring finger (it’s the gentlest!) and pat a small amount under your eyes and along the bone. No rubbing—just soft, light taps.
Pro tip: Apply eye cream before your serums and moisturiser to let it absorb fully.
4. Serum
This is where the magic happens! Serums are like the superheroes of skincare—concentrated formulas designed to tackle specific concerns like fine lines, hydration, or dullness.
If your skin feels thirsty, go for a hyaluronic acid serum. Need some glow? A vitamin C serum is the way to go. Whatever your skin needs, there’s a serum for it.
Why it’s a must-have: Serums work deeper than moisturisers, so they’re essential for targeting those tricky skin concerns.
Top tip: Apply a few drops to your face and neck and gently pat it in. Don’t rub it into your hands—you don’t want to waste a drop!

5. Moisturise
Seal the deal with a good moisturiser. This step locks in hydration and strengthens your skin’s barrier, keeping it soft and protected all day (or night) long.
In the morning, reach for a day cream with SPF to protect your skin from UV rays. At night, treat yourself to a rich night cream that works while you sleep.
Why it’s essential: Skipping moisturiser can leave your skin dry and unprotected. The right moisturiser keeps your skin smooth, healthy, and glowing.
Pro tip: Apply your moisturiser in upward motions—it’s like giving your skin a little lift while you hydrate.
