Alicia Keys' Morning Skincare Routine You Need to Try ASAP

Self-care doesn’t always mean weekend spa days and lavish getaways (though we do love any excuse for a little extra pampering.)

Instead of finding time to escape your daily life, get into the habit of enhancing your routine with intentionality. Translation? Keep your soulcare simple and consistent.

These can be small acts of self-love, whether that’s hitting the sauna, going for a long walk, or reading a book while your favorite face mask dries down.

A good place to put your intentions into practice is with your skincare. Kick-starting your morning with an a.m. skincare routine is a surefire way to boost energy and raise your vibration.

Here’s a glimpse into Alicia Keys’ favorite five-step skincare ritual to greet the day — and give herself and her skin some daily soulcare.

Morning Skincare Routine Steps

1. Cleanse Your Skin

Cleanse the skin and uplift your spirit with a daily face cleanser. Take a deep breath to soothe your mind as the soft warm scent of sage and oat milk wafts through the air.

Our best-selling Golden Face Cleanser leaves skin feeling fresh, helps wash away traces of makeup and impurities, and offers you a well-deserved moment of mindfulness before tackling the rest of your busy day.

2. Hydrate Your Skin

After cleansing, Alicia likes to hydrate her skin with 1-2 pumps of the Truly Becoming Multi-Benefit Peptide Serum, enriched with ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump skin while visibly firming and improving skin tone.

3. Moisturize and Help Protect Your Skin

After your favorite serum, it’s time to help hydrate and protect the skin. You can opt for a fragrance-free moisturizer, or reach for multitasking skincare like a daily moisturizer sunscreen hybrid.

Our hydrating offerings are formulated with ingredients that help skin feel pampered and cared for. Fan-favorite Skin Transformation Cream’s bakuchiol helps plump the look of skin, while ceramides plus hyaluronic acid help support hydration. Plus, Protect Your Light Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen with niacinamide helps brighten and balance the skin’s appearance.

Recite these offerings’ affirmations: “I welcome all circumstances as catalysts for change.” Or, “Protect your inner light.”

4. Let Your Skin Glow

Once your skin is cleansed, balanced, and protected, you’re ready to face the day — and primed to add a lit-from-within glow to your basic skincare routine. That’s where Let Me Glow Illuminating Priming Serum with Niacinamide comes in.

Niacinamide helps brighten and balance the skin’s appearance, while rose water helps to replenish dry, dull skin, making Let Me Glow a must-have glow enhancer in your morning skincare ritual. Wear Let Me Glow alone or under makeup for a sun-kissed, radiant complexion.

Recite this offering’s affirmation: “I give myself permission to glow.”

5. Brighten and Blur

Alicia likes to wrap up her daily skincare with It’s Like Skin Concealer + Tint, a multitasking spot concealer and all-over skin tint that helps brighten and blur. This buildable, blendable light-to-medium coverage comes in 40 diverse shades all while providing a naturally radiant finish to your daily look.
