How to Layer Your Skincare

The order you apply products in matters as much as the products themselves. The general rule is to go from the thinnest, most watery textures to the richest, most occlusive ones.
Start with a cleanser, then any water-based toner or essence, followed by serums (the most concentrated actives), then moisturiser to seal in hydration. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF.
Give each layer a few seconds to absorb before the next, and introduce new actives one at a time so your skin can adjust.
