The Ultimate Simple Avon Skincare Routine: Myths, Steps & Secrets for 2026

By Ady Jones (The Avon Man in a Hat)

Admit it, you have all been there. You stand in front of the mirror, looking at five different bottles, wondering: "Do I put the serum on before the oil? Do I really need eye cream? And does expensive actually mean better?"

Skincare can be confusing. There are so many myths and complicated 10-step routines out there that it’s easy to give up and just use a face wipe. (Please don't do that!).

I’ve combined our top skincare tips, busted the biggest myths, and broken down the definitive Avon Skincare Routine that actually delivers visible results—without taking an hour every morning.

First: Let’s Bust 3 Big Skincare Myths

Before we start the routine, let's clear up the confusion.

• Myth 1: "You only need Anti-Ageing products when you see wrinkles."

Truth: Prevention is better than a cure! Starting a good routine with hydration and SPF in your 20s or 30s is the secret to looking younger in your 50s.

• Myth 2: "Oily skin doesn't need moisturiser."

Truth: If you starve oily skin of moisture, it panics and produces more oil to compensate. You just need a lightweight cream.

• Myth 3: "You need to spend £100 on a cream for it to work."

Truth: Ingredients matter, not price tags. Avon’s Anew range uses the same award-winning technologies (like Protinol™) as luxury brands, but at a fraction of the cost.

The Ultimate 4-Step Avon Skincare Routine (Keep It Simple)

You don't need 6 or 10 steps. You just need these four, done consistently.

Step 1: The Cleanse

This is non-negotiable. It removes makeup, pollution, and dead skin.

• Recommendation: A gentle micellar water or a cream cleanser. Clean skin absorbs serums better.

Step 2: The Treatment (Serum)

This is the "power" step. Serums have smaller molecules that penetrate deeper.

• Recommendation: Anew Renewal Power Serum. It restores collagen and works for almost every skin type.

Step 3: The Moisturiser (Day & Night)

This locks everything in.

• Day: Use a cream that protects and hydrates.

• Night: Use a richer cream (like the Platinum Night Cream) to repair skin while you sleep.

Step 4: The SPF (The Most Important Step)

If you do nothing else, wear SPF. The sun is the #1 cause of premature ageing, even on cloudy British days!

• Top Tip: Many Avon Day Creams include SPF, saving you a step.

Consistency is the Key

The secret to a radiant glow isn't a magic potion; it’s doing the basics, morning and night.

If you are looking for products that deliver visible results without the high-end price tag, the Avon skincare range is the smartest swap you can make this year.
