One of the most common questions Indian skincare beginners ask is: “Do I really need different routines for morning and night?”
The short answer is: Yes.
Your skin faces UV rays, pollution, and humidity in the daytime, while at night it goes into repair mode. That’s why a day vs night routine makes all the difference.
Here’s how to build the perfect morning & night skincare routine for Indian skin, with the right Perenne Clean Beauty products.
Why Morning and Night Routines Are Different
- Morning: Protect against sun & pollution.
- Night: Repair, hydrate & rejuvenate.
- Using the same products for both may leave your skin under-protected or under-repaired.
Morning Skincare Routine for Indian Skin

- For dull skin → Perenne Glow Booster Radiance Serum (Vitamin C + Kakadu Plum)
4. Moisturizer (Choose Based on Skin Type & Age)
Even oily skin needs moisturizer — it locks hydration in and protects against pollution.
