I chose Prélude, Équinoxe, and Soleil for my Everyday Essentials because a good routine starts with the basics: cleansing, moisture, and daily sun protection. Prélude makes cleansing feel luxurious, Équinoxe provides comforting hydration, and Soleil finishes the morning routine with mineral SPF 50.

These may be the basics, but I’m particular about them. I want my skin to feel clean and comfortable after washing, my moisturizer to leave it soft, and my sunscreen to be something I’m happy to wear every day.

As an esthetician and a woman in perimenopause, I wanted an easy foundation for caring for changing skin. Whether you keep things simple or love adding treatments, these are three essentials worth making room for.
