RIGHT SKINCARE

ROUTINE ORDER

CLEANSER
1 Start with a clean canva: remove all the grime on your skin so
your skincare can easily get through.

EXFOLIANT
2 Get rid of dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of
your face and make it harder for actives to reach the skin.

TONER
3 Not necessary. But if you use it, use it now.

PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS
4 If you're using prescription products, use them now. The
closer they are to the skin, the better they penetrate it.

SERUM
5 Higher concentration of active ingredients but lighter than
moisturiser. Apply it now.

EYE CREAM
6 Again, not necessary. Most of the time, your fragrance-free
moisturiser will do. But if use one, apply it now.

MOISTURIZER
7 A moisturiser seals all the other products in. It should always
be the last step at night and the second last in the morning.

SUNSCREEN
8 When scientists test sunscreen, they always put it on last. So
it makes sense to do the same

THE RULES

When in doubt, follow the two layering rules:

1. The rule of textures: start with the lightest product in texture and build your
way up till the heaviest in texture. 
2. The rules of actives: if you’re using any prescription products, retinols, vitamin
C, skin-brighteners or exfoliants, apply them as close to freshly cleansed skin as
possible.
