A simple rule works for almost every routine: from the thinnest texture to the thickest, and sunscreen last in the morning.
Morning
- Cleanser
- Toner or essence
- Serum (for example vitamin C)
- Moisturiser
- Sunscreen
Night
- Cleansing balm, if you wore sunscreen or makeup
- Cleanser
- Toner or essence
- Serum (for example niacinamide)
- Moisturiser or an overnight mask
How long to wait between steps
Just until the last layer no longer feels wet, usually under a minute. There is no need to wait ten minutes.
Adding something new
Add one product at a time and use it for two weeks before adding another, so you know which one your skin likes, or does not.
