The 10-minute evening ritual your skin will thank you for

The best skincare routine isn't the most elaborate one — it's the one you actually do. Here's a simple evening ritual built around 10 minutes of light therapy, designed for real evenings: the tired ones, the busy ones, the ones where you almost skip it.

Step 1 — Cleanse (2 minutes)

Light therapy works best on clean, bare skin. A gentle cleanser, lukewarm water, pat dry. No need for anything fancy — you're just removing the day (makeup, sunscreen, city) so the light reaches your skin directly.

Step 2 — Mask on, world off (10 minutes)

Put on your Skinora™ mask, press start, and do absolutely anything else: read a chapter, make tomorrow's to-do list, lie on the couch and stare at the ceiling. This is the part people get wrong — light therapy isn't another chore, it's ten minutes where multitasking is officially encouraged.

Tip: attach the ritual to something you already do every evening (kettle on → mask on). Habit researchers call this stacking, and it's the single best trick for consistency.

Step 3 — Moisturise (1 minute)

After your session, apply your usual moisturiser or serum to comfortable, warm skin. Keep it simple: one hydrating product you love beats five you forget.

What to expect, honestly

• Weeks 1-2: not much visually — this is normal. Skin cycles take time.
• Weeks 3-4: many users notice skin looking calmer and more rested.
• Weeks 6-8: with consistent use (3-5 evenings a week), smoother texture and a more even, radiant look.

Mark a date 8 weeks out in your calendar and take a bare-skin photo today. Progress you can compare beats progress you try to remember.

The whole point

Thirteen minutes, start to finish. No 12-step protocol, no shelf of half-used products — just cleanse, light, moisturise, repeat. Your skin doesn't need more products; it needs more consistency.
