Les bons gestes

Start with skin logic, then personalize.

Haru does not pretend everyone needs the same routine. The base is simple: cleanse, treat carefully, moisturize, protect. Then the details change by skin type.

Morning is protection

Cleanse only if you wake up oily or sweaty, hydrate, then finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day.

Evening is removal and repair

Remove sunscreen and makeup, cleanse gently, then use treatment only if your skin tolerates it. Finish with moisturizer.

SPF is the non-negotiable step

Reapply about every 2 hours when outdoors, and after sweating or swimming. Actives work better when UV is controlled.

Do less when skin is irritated

Pause retinoids, acids, scrubs and fragrance-heavy extras when skin stings, flakes, burns, or stays red.

Dry or tight skin

Guide

AM: Gentle rinse or creamy cleanser -> hydrating toner/serum -> ceramide moisturizer -> SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> hydrating serum on damp skin -> richer moisturizer or sleeping mask.

Watch out: Avoid foaming cleansers that leave skin squeaky, daily acids, and layering too many actives.

Oily or breakout-prone skin

Guide

AM: Light cleanser -> niacinamide or calming serum -> gel moisturizer -> lightweight SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> BHA 2-4 nights/week or acne treatment -> non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Watch out: Do not skip moisturizer; over-stripping often makes oiliness worse.

Sensitive or redness-prone skin

Guide

AM: Minimal cleanse -> centella/panthenol serum -> barrier cream -> mineral or gentle SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> soothing serum -> ceramide moisturizer. Add actives one at a time only.

Watch out: Avoid starting retinol, vitamin C and exfoliating acids in the same week.

Combination skin

Guide

AM: Gentle cleanser where needed -> light hydration -> moisturizer only where dry -> SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> treatment by zone: BHA on oily areas, barrier care on dry areas -> moisturizer.

Watch out: Do not force one heavy routine on the whole face if your T-zone and cheeks behave differently.

Dullness or uneven tone

Guide

AM: Cleanser -> vitamin C or niacinamide -> moisturizer -> SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> gentle AHA 1-3 nights/week or retinoid on alternate nights -> moisturizer.

Watch out: Do not exfoliate daily for glow. Irritation creates more uneven tone.

First simple routine

Guide

AM: Cleanser if needed -> moisturizer -> SPF.

PM: Cleanser -> moisturizer.

Watch out: Add only one new product at a time, then wait 1-2 weeks before adding another active.

Rules Haru uses when checking a routine

  • Apply thinnest textures before thicker creams.
  • Keep retinoids mostly at night and pair them with morning SPF.
  • Use exfoliating acids gradually; more tingle is not more result.
  • Patch test new actives, especially if your skin is reactive.
  • A routine that you can repeat beats a 12-step routine you abandon.

BHA

PM

Oil-soluble pore and blackhead support.

Benzoyl peroxide

Based on dermatologist-style routine basics: gentle cleansing, moisturizing, broad-spectrum SPF 30+, cautious active use, and sunscreen reapplication outdoors. Haru is guidance, not a medical diagnosis.
