so one thing that I need and please don´t judge I wake up at 8.30 every day without alarms, with a kiss from my daughter, husband and dog. so I truly believe that a good night sleep and a love circle are the best products you need. and water, of course.
morning: fresh start
I wake up my skin with a gentle cleanser that refreshes without stripping its natural oils. it’s like a refreshing splash to kickstart my day. then I apply morning shiseido soro bio-performance skin filler. after I go to my fridge and I drink a ginger and lemon shot. and at the fridge I finish with shiseido vital perfection uplifting and firming day cream spf30 which has an spf30 and also adds more glow to my skin. I use it every day. when is more sun I apply an extra spf50. this cold cream gives me an extra wake up. and of course I drink a coffee.

during the day I try to apply the spf50 and drink as much water I can. sometimes is not easy to me remember with all the tasks but I already have an app to remember. water can do so much for our skin.
evening: wind down
after a long day, I know I should start my evening routine with a double cleanse—first with a cleansing oil to remove makeup and impurities, followed by a gentle foam cleanser to purify my skin. but not every nights I have time (or patience) for that. so i give you this tip only.
my routine is in apply the cleanser like in the morning, after the night serum shiseido soro bio-performance skin filler. this time, it works overnight to repair and rejuvenate my skin, ensuring I wake up with a fresh, revitalized complexion.
after I follow with a richer moisturizer (shiseido overnight firming treatment), perfect for overnight hydration. it locks in the benefits of the serum and helps my skin recover while I sleep.

than I go to my bed I take of my colette bangle and my watch, but never take off my 18ct jewelry.
finally, I make sure to get a good night’s sleep, even if my day ends late at 1:00 am. creating a calm and comfortable sleep environment helps me wake up refreshed and ready to start my routine all over again.
