Order matters, here’s why…

Applying your skin care products in the correct sequence ensures that your skin receives the full benefits of each product. You may be wondering, “What skincare product do I use first? Second? LAST@!!???” No need to worry, here is a routine that ensures you get the most out of every product!

Daytime Skincare Routine
The two main focuses of your morning routine should be hydration and protection.

• Step 1: Cleanser
• Step 2: Toner
• Step 3: Antioxidant Serum
• Step 4: Eye Gel
• Step 5: Spot Treatment
• Step 6: Moisturizer
• Step 7: SPF

Nighttime Skincare Routine
The two main focuses of your nighttime routine should be repair and rejuvenation.

• Step 1: Cleanser
• Step 2: Toner
• Step 3: Eye Cream
• Step 4: Treatment Serums
• Step 5: Hydrating Mask or Face Oil
• Step 6: Moisturizer or Night Cream

Aside from the order of application, it is also important to consider timing. Make sure to give each product enough time to absorb in your skin before moving on to the next step of your skincare routine. If you are in a rush, keep your skincare routines simple and short.

Lastly, and most importantly, always listen to your skin. If a new product causes a reaction – or an old one starts impacting your skin – stop using it. You can always call our team of aestheticians, too, and share any concerns or ask questions.
