7 steps for a healthy skin

The M-Beauty skincare routine

01

Cleanse

Cleanse
01

Cleansing removes sweat, oil, pollution and makeup so they don’t sit on your skin or clog your pores. With a clean surface, everything you apply afterwards can absorb properly and work as intended.
02

Exfoliate

Exfoliate
02

Exfoliation lifts away dead skin cells that naturally build up. This helps keep pores clear, smooths rough texture and lets fresh, healthy skin come to the surface.
03

Mask

Mask
03

Masks deliver a concentrated treatment that your daily routine can’t always give. Whether you need hydration, balance or clarity, a mask provides an intentional boost.
04

Tone

Tone
04

Toners rebalance the skin after cleansing, add a first layer of hydration and catch any residue left behind. This prepares the skin so serums and moisturisers can penetrate more effectively.
05

Treat

Treat
05

Serums focus on specific concerns, like dullness, breakouts or fine lines. They contain high levels of active ingredients that target what your skin needs most.
06

Moisturise

Moisturise
06

Moisturisers keep water in the skin and strengthen its protective barrier. This prevents dryness, sensitivity and helps maintain a balanced, healthy complexion.
07

Protect

Protect
07

Sun protection is the final and most essential step. UV rays cause most signs of premature ageing and pigmentation, even on cloudy days, so daily SPF keeps your skin healthy long-term.
