Ever wondered why your expensive serums and creams aren’t working as expected? The secret lies in layering your skincare products correctly! Applying them in the right order ensures that each product absorbs properly and delivers the best results.
Here’s the perfect skincare routine order you should follow:
1️⃣ Cleanser 🧼 (Morning & Night)
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Double cleanse at night if you wear sunscreen or makeup.
2️⃣ Toner 💦 (Optional, But Helpful!)
Toners help balance the skin’s pH and prep it for the next steps. Choose:
✔️ Hydrating Toner for dry skin
✔️ Exfoliating Toner (AHA/BHA) for acne-prone skin
3️⃣ Serum 🌿 (Treatment Step)
Serums contain concentrated active ingredients. Apply water-based serums first, followed by oil-based ones:
✔️ Vitamin C (Morning ☀️) – Brightens skin & fights pigmentation
✔️ Hyaluronic Acid (AM/PM) – Hydrates & plumps the skin
✔️ Niacinamide (AM/PM) – Controls oil & reduces dark spots
✔️ Retinol (Night 🌙) – Anti-aging & helps with acne
4️⃣ Eye Cream 👀 (Optional, But Great for Dark Circles!)
Apply a pea-sized amount under your eyes using your ring finger to prevent wrinkles and puffiness.
5️⃣ Moisturizer 💖 (Locks Everything In!)
Choose a lightweight gel-based moisturizer for oily skin and a thicker cream for dry skin.
6️⃣ Sunscreen ☀️ (MORNING MUST-HAVE!)
Never skip sunscreen! Apply SPF 30+ or higher every morning to protect against premature aging and sun damage.
💡 Pro Tip: Always go from lightest to thickest consistency for better absorption!
