Skin concern guide
Your first skincare routine: three steps, done properly
Skincare doesn't have to be complicated. Many of our happiest customers use three products. Start with the basics, use them consistently, and add only what solves a real problem.
The three steps that matter
Cleanse to remove sweat, oil and sunscreen. Moisturise to keep the skin barrier comfortable. Protect with sunscreen every morning. That's it. Everything else — toners, serums, masks — is optional and should be added for a reason.
Choose textures for your climate: in Bangkok, that usually means gel cleansers, gel-creams and fluid sunscreens. If you're unsure where to start, message us your skin type and we'll suggest a first routine.

FAQ
Your first routine: questions
Not really — skin is skin. Men often prefer fewer steps and lighter textures, and an all-in-one moisturiser plus a non-greasy sunscreen is a great start.
Add a serum for your main concern: niacinamide for shine and pores, centella for redness, vitamin C for dullness. One at a time.
It's optional. Modern hydrating toners are lovely in air-con and humidity, but your routine works without one.
More concerns
Other skin concerns
Oily skin
Shine by noon, makeup sliding off, enlarged-looking pores.
Acne-prone skin
Breakouts, clogged pores and marks that linger.
Sensitive skin
Stinging, redness and skin that reacts to everything.
Dehydrated skin
Tight, dull and flaky — often from air-con, even if you're oily.
Dark spots & uneven tone
Post-acne marks, sun spots and dullness.
Sun protection
Choosing, applying and reapplying sunscreen in Thailand.
Early signs of ageing
Fine lines, loss of bounce and sun-related changes.
