Skincare Order Made Simple: What to Apply and When

1 / 2

Figuring out the right order for your products can be confusing. Use a simple rule: apply from lightest to heaviest consistency so each formula absorbs properly. Begin with a cleanser to remove dirt, oil and makeup. You can follow with a toner to hydrate or address concerns like acne. Next, apply your serum—vitamin C in the morning for brightening and protection, and hydrating or acne-fighting serums as needed. Then use a moisturizer to lock in hydration and strengthen your skin barrier. In the morning, finish with sunscreen to guard against sun damage and premature aging. For your night routine, skip sunscreen and include treatment products like retinol after cleansing, then seal in moisture with your night cream. Remember, consistency matters more than having ten steps you never complete.
