A great skincare routine isn't just about what you use — it's about how and when you apply each product. The right order ensures maximum absorption and effectiveness.
Step 1 — Cleanse
Always start with a clean canvas. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove impurities and prepare your skin for what follows.
Step 2 — Exfoliate (2–3x per week)
Apply your exfoliating scrub after cleansing. Gentle circular motions for 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. This removes dead skin cells and allows serums and creams to penetrate deeper. Never exfoliate on irritated or sunburned skin.
Step 3 — Serum
Serums are concentrated actives — apply them on damp skin for better absorption. A few drops are enough. Press gently into the skin rather than rubbing.
Step 4 — Moisturiser
Seal everything in with your face cream. This locks in the serum's actives and keeps your skin barrier healthy. Choose a formula suited to your skin type — lighter for oily skin, richer for dry.
Golden Rule
Thinnest to thickest. Always apply products from the lightest consistency to the heaviest. Your skin will thank you.
