Back to Routine: Build a Consistent Skincare Regimen That Actually Works
Why Consistency Beats Complexity in Skincare

After summer chaos, travel, and SPF overload, August is the perfect time to reset. A consistent, simple skincare routine beats a 10-step ritual you abandon after a week.
Think consistency, minimalism, and smart actives.
Here’s a proven daily routine you can stick to—plus how to align it with Sono Contour’s gentle yet effective products.
Your AM Routine: Protect + Hydrate

1. Gentle Cleanser (optional)
If you wake up oily or sweaty, use a light gel cleanser. If your skin is dry or sensitive, splash with water and move on.
→ Try: Sono Contour Clarifying Green Gel Cleanser
Removes oil + sweat while keeping your barrier calm.
2. Hydrating Mist or Toner
Mist preps your skin and boosts serum absorption.
→ Try: Sono Contour Hydrating Essence Mist
Instant hydration with thermal water + hyaluronic acid.
3. Antioxidant Serum (like Vitamin C or Niacinamide)
This step helps brighten your skin, protect from pollution, and prevent sun-induced pigmentation.
→ Try: Sono Contour Radiance Repair Serum
With niacinamide + peptides, this multitasker soothes, brightens, and strengthens your skin barrier.
4. Moisturizer
Choose a lightweight cream or gel depending on your skin type.
Coming Soon: Sono Contour Barrier Restore Night Gel
Works day or night to lock in hydration without clogging pores.
5. SPF (Always!)
✔ Broad-spectrum
✔ SPF 30–50
✔ Reapply every 2 hours if outside
Your PM Routine: Cleanse + Repair

1. Double Cleanse (especially if you wore SPF or makeup)
Oil-based cleanser + gel cleanser = clean, balanced skin.
→ Use Green Gel Cleanser again here
Pro tip: cleanse for 60 seconds for full breakdown of sunscreen + sweat.
2. Essence Mist (again!)
Rehydrates after cleansing, and helps active ingredients absorb.
3. Targeted Serum or Treatment
This is where you focus on your skin goal: glow, firming, anti-aging, etc.
→ Try Radiance Repair Serum or retinol (if your skin tolerates it)
4. Barrier-Repair Moisturizer
Don’t skip this. Even oily skin needs protection.
