AM Routine

Your morning skincare routine — focused on protecting and defending skin throughout the day.

What it does

Prepares skin for the day by cleansing overnight buildup, layering hydration and antioxidant protection, and finishing with SPF to defend against UV and environmental damage.

Glow notes

Your morning routine has one primary job above all others: get SPF on your skin before you face the day. Everything else supports that goal. The Meaga Glow AM routine follows six steps: Step 1 — Cleanse: Remove overnight buildup and prep skin for absorption. Choose Revive (gentle, hydrating), Clarify (acne-prone), or Brighten (brightening/exfoliating). Step 2 — Prep: Apply a toner or essence to balance, hydrate, and prime. Choose Aura (antioxidant mist), Balance (clarifying), or Milky Drops (barrier support). Step 3 — Treat: Apply your AM serum. Nova Vitamin C serum is morning-only. Bounce Serum can be used AM or PM. Step 4 — Moisturize: Apply Dew Crème or Meaga Benefits to seal in hydration and support the barrier. Dream Crème is not recommended for mornings — retinoids should be used at night. Step 5 — SPF: Apply as the last skincare step before makeup. Choose Sun Beam (tinted glow), Sun Crème (mineral, sensitive), or Invisible Defense SPF 45 (lightweight hybrid). Step 6 — Seal: Optional. A drop of Marula Oil applied before SPF for a lit-from-within effect. Consistency is the most important factor in an AM routine. The routine doesn't need to be long — but SPF, cleanser, and at least one treatment product done daily will produce results.

Routine note

Nova Serum is AM only — do not use at night. SPF is non-negotiable as the final skincare step every morning.
