After a long winter hibernation, we’re giving our summer mornings an overhaul. With only a few weeks left until Christmas, we’re making them count — starting with a simple routine that sets us up for success and leaves us glowing through to the holidays.
By incorporating some morning movement, nourishing food and a little help from our favourite new L’Oréal Paris serum, you’ll be glowing your way through the rest of 2025.
Our new glow-worthy summer morning routine
9pm: The evening before: Ready, set..
As the saying goes, fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Spend 15 minutes getting organised for the following day: lay out activewear, pack your work bag, prep lunch. Then apply hydrating evening skincare and aim for 7–8 hours of sleep.
6am: Wake up and get moving
If you’ve been hitting snooze all winter, use the lighter mornings as motivation to rise earlier. Walk the dog, take a hot Pilates class, or stretch with a cup of tea in the lounge. However you move, you’ll start the day with more energy, a clearer head and your blood flowing, ready to take on whatever’s ahead.
7am: Shower and skincare
Glowing skin doesn’t need a complicated 10-step routine; just smart, multitasking products that work hard. We’re reaching for L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Le Duo Cell Renewing Serum. This clever double-serum instantly brightens and evens skin tone, while erasing signs of ageing like wrinkles and sagging. Big results, minimal effort. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser and SPF, and you’re good to glow.
7.30am: Eat a nourishing breakfast
Sorry, but a coffee on the commute doesn’t count. Fuel your body with protein, healthy fats and complex carbs. We love Greek yoghurt bowls with fruit and muesli, or eggs and avocado on sourdough.
8am: Out the door!
Whether you’re commuting or doing the school drop-off, step out fresh, energised and glowing — with your skincare doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
Turn back time
The new L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Le Duo Cell Renewing Serum (RRP $69.99) uses two super-powered formulas to help reverse visible signs of ageing. One side is a collagen-rich serum that smooths wrinkles and sagging; the other is a hydrating, vitamin-packed blend that evens skin tone and boosts radiance.
In clinical testing, users saw an 18.7% increase in firmness and a 15% boost in radiance — in just seven days.
