How to Layer Skincare — The Correct Order and Why It Matters

The order in which you apply your skincare products can impact how well they perform. A simple rule is to apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Start with a cleanser, followed by toner, serums, treatments, moisturizer, and finally sunscreen during the day. This allows lightweight formulas to absorb properly before heavier products seal in hydration and active ingredients.

Proper layering helps your products work more effectively, reduces irritation, and ensures your skin receives the full benefit of each step in your routine.
