Skincare Layering 101✨

Layering your skincare doesn’t have to feel confusing, just follow one golden rule:

✨ Apply products from the lightest consistency to the thickest.

Here’s the correct and complete order:

1. Cleanser

Start with a clean base so everything you apply afterward actually absorbs.
Use a gentle cleanser (gel for oily skin, cream for dry skin).

2. Toner

This preps your skin and gives that first burst of hydration.
Think of it as your skin’s wake-up call.

3. Essence (optional but amazing if you love hydration)

Light, watery, and perfect for boosting glow while helping your next products penetrate better.

4. Serum

Your treatment step!
Pick one based on your skin concern:

• Vitamin C → brightness
• Niacinamide → dark spots + oil control
• Hyaluronic Acid → hydration
• Peptides → anti-aging

This is where the real magic happens.

5. Spot Treatment

Apply this only on the pimple or affected area before heavier creams.
Works best when the skin is clean and lightly layered.

6. Eye Cream

The under-eye area is delicate, so treat it gently.
Use your ring finger and tap it in, never rub.

7. Moisturizer

Locks everything in and keeps your skin soft and happy.

• Dry skin → choose a creamy moisturizer
• Oily skin → choose a gel moisturizer

8. Facial Oil (optional)

If you use oils, they always go AFTER moisturizer.
They seal in moisture, not the other way around.

9. Sunscreen (AM routine only)

Your final and most important step.
Never skip SPF, it protects your skin, your glow, and your future self.

💛 A Few Helpful Tips

• Wait a few seconds between each layer for better absorption.
• If your skin feels sticky, you might be using too much product.
• Introduce actives (like retinol or acids) slowly to avoid irritation.
• At night, skip sunscreen and focus on nourishing, repair-focused products.
• ✨ Remember: Skincare doesn’t have to be a 9-step routine. Don’t stress about using every product or following every step you see online. Focus on what your skin needs, keep it simple, and choose products that suit you
