Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. This prepares your skin for the rest.
Use a toner to balance your skin’s pH and remove any remaining impurities. It also helps to hydrate.
Apply an essence, which is typically lightweight and packed with active ingredients.
Serums contain concentrated active ingredients targeting specific skin concerns (e.g., wrinkles, dark spots).
Apply eye cream around your eyes. The skin here is delicate, so it needs special care. Use your ring finger.
If you have any acne or blemishes, now is the time to apply spot treatments. These are usually more effective.
Apply a moisturizer to hydrate and lock in all the previous layers. Choose a moisturizer based on your skin type.
If you use facial oil, apply it after your moisturizer. Oils can penetrate moisturizers, but not the other way around.
In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
At night, you can use a heavier night cream or a sleeping mask to nourish.
