A skin care routine is all about finding what works for YOU! It’s about creating a consistent regimen that cleanses, nourishes, and protects your skin. From cleansing and toning to moisturizing and exfoliating, each step plays a crucial role in achieving healthy, glowing skin. Whether you’re a minimalist or a skincare enthusiast, tailoring your routine to your skin type and concerns can make all the difference. By prioritizing your skin’s needs, you’ll be on your way to a brighter, more radiant complexion!
In what order should I apply my skin care products and does it matter?
YES, sequence matters, here’s why:
Applying your skin care products in the proper order ensures that your skin receives the full benefits of each product.
The order of application is incredibly important.
The skin’s job is to keep things out, but many of the skin care products we use have ingredients we want to get in. Only a very small amount of these key ingredients can penetrate the skin, even when perfectly formulated and perfectly applied.
If you don’t apply products in the correct order, you will not see the best results from your skin care regimen.

So which product goes on top of what, you ask?
An easy rule of thumb to follow is to apply your products with the thinnest consistency to thickest, or from liquid to oil.
In general, think thin-to-thick, but you also want to first use the products that will benefit your main skin concern for example pigmentation and ageing with the ingredients that are most important to penetrate into the skin (like serums and treatment products) and finish with the products that need to sit on top of the skin (like moisturisers and sun protection).
The morning routine is all about moisturising and protecting the skin against the elements.
As your skin naturally repairs itself at night, your night time routine should be all about treatment and giving your skin the nourishment that it needs.
