A calm, 5-minute ritual that fits real mornings and leaves your skin quietly radiant.
The 5-Minute Glow Code Ritual
Let’s be honest — most mornings don’t look like a lifestyle ad. They’re fast, full, and often just a little messy. That’s why we created the Glow Code: a five-minute ritual built for women who want to care for their skin without sacrificing their sanity.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works.
Step 1 – Wake-Up Wash
- Use micellar water, cleansing pads, or a gentle gel cleanser.
- Keep it in the shower or by the sink so it’s easy to reach.
- Just 30 seconds clears away sweat, oil, and overnight buildup.
Step 2 – Instant Hydration Shot
- Choose a hyaluronic acid serum or mist with aloe or rose water.
- Pat gently with fingertips to help it absorb quickly.
- Your skin feels plump, fresh, and quietly radiant.
Step 3 – Barrier Lockdown Cream
- Lock in moisture with a gel cream or ceramide-rich moisturizer.
- Try a moisturizer that doubles as SPF for fewer steps.
- Soothing ingredients like niacinamide offer extra calm.
Step 4 – Invisible SPF Layer
- Protect with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (tinted or sheer).
- Look for formulas that play well under makeup.
- Powder SPF is perfect for touch-ups later in the day.
Step 5 – Bonus Radiance Mist
- Spritz a glow mist with vitamin C or licorice root.
- Adds a soft finish and refreshes tired skin.
- Optional—but beautifully worth it.
What You Can Gently Let Go Of
- 10-step layering routines
- Eye creams (your moisturizer already covers this)
- Facial tools that sit in drawers
- Harsh exfoliation more than 2x per week
- Oils layered under SPF
