Cleanse or rinse
Every morning.
A clean surface keeps later layers predictable; if skin wakes up dry, a water rinse can be enough.

Firmness Support Routine
A complete routine for firmness goals that keeps SPF and recovery as part of the result.
Keep the useful core steady and avoid unnecessary complexity.
Morning routine
Antioxidant-style support
Every morning if comfortable.
Firmness routines are long-game routines; daily SPF and tolerable timing matter more than speed.
Moisturise
Every morning.
Cream or lotion seals the lighter support step and keeps the barrier from feeling tight by midday.
SPF
Every morning, last step.
Protection is the one daily step that keeps tone, texture, redness, and firmness work from being undone.
Evening routine
Cleanse
Every evening.
Evening cleansing removes SPF, sweat, and the day so the routine does not stack on top of residue.
Firmness target step
1-3 nights/week to start, then build slowly if comfort stays steady.
Firmness routines are long-game routines; daily SPF and tolerable timing matter more than speed.
Recovery buffer
On non-active nights, or anytime skin feels tight.
Quiet nights are not empty nights; they are what make the active nights tolerable enough to repeat.
Moisturise
Every evening.
The final cream step locks the routine into a comfortable finish and reduces the urge to add more.

Daily
Core routine
Keep cleanse, moisturise, and SPF consistent before adding complexity.

This is the public shape. A scan or cabinet lets MIRU place real products, hold back duplicates, and keep the same AM/PM logic personal.
