A face and body routine with glutathione: morning and night, step by step
A simple morning and night routine for face and body with a glutathione face wash, shower gel and night cream, in the right order, with sunscreen.
What is a good glutathione routine for face and body?
Keep it simple: wash your face morning and night, use sunscreen every morning, use a leave-on night cream on the face at night, and use a gentle shower gel and a moisturiser on the body. Start any active product slowly.
Do I need to use glutathione on my body too?
No. Many people use a glutathione product only on the face. A gentle shower gel and a moisturiser are enough for the body, and sunscreen on skin that sees the sun does the most for even-looking tone.
In what order do I use face wash, shower gel and night cream?
In the shower, wash your body with the shower gel and your face with the face wash. Pat dry, then moisturise the body. At night, apply the night cream to the clean, dry face and neck. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
A good routine is short enough to repeat every day. Here is a simple face and body routine built around a face wash, a shower gel and a night cream. It works with any gentle products, and it shows where each step fits.
The morning routine
- Face: wash with a gentle face wash such as Gluta Boost Face Wash, or just rinse with water if your skin feels tight. Pat dry.
- Body: wash with a shower gel such as GlutaNex Aqua Fresh Shower Gel in lukewarm water. Moisturise within a few minutes.
- Sunscreen: a broad-spectrum sunscreen on the face, neck and any skin that is out in the sun. This is the step that matters most for even-looking tone. See glutathione cream with sunscreen.
The night routine
- Cleanse your face with the face wash. Pat dry fully.
- Night cream: a pea-sized amount of GlutaNex Glutathione Night Cream on the face and neck, avoiding the lips and eyes. It contains retinol and salicylic acid, so start 2 to 3 nights a week and build up. See how to use glutathione cream.
- Body: if you shower at night, use the shower gel and moisturise afterwards.

What to expect
Skin changes slowly. Judge a routine after 8 to 12 weeks, not 8 to 12 days, and remember that results vary and that glutathione does not change your natural skin colour. If you have melasma or stubborn pigmentation, see a dermatologist.
Common mistakes
- Using the shower gel on your face. See face wash vs shower gel.
- Starting the night cream every night from day one.
- Skipping sunscreen, which cancels most of the work.
- Using hot water for every wash.
- Changing products every two weeks.
Where the products fit
The GlutaNex range covers each step: the Night Cream is available now, and the Face Wash, the Shower Gel and the Glow Trio set are launching soon. Join the waitlist on any of those pages.
When to see a dermatologist
See a dermatologist for rashes, melasma, very sensitive skin, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and unsure about any product, because the night cream contains retinol.
General information about cosmetic skincare, not medical advice. Results vary from person to person. See a dermatologist for persistent or changing pigmentation.
