You may have brought all the right products but did you know that the efficiency of your skincare products has a lot to do with the order in which they are applied? It also depends heavily on the ingredients, which is why many people are now exploring with CBD skincare private label products, as they are made with anti-inflammatory ingredients by manufacturers that sell in bulk. Paying attention to both where your skincare products are from, and how they are applied, is very important in determining how effective your skincare routine is.
Failure to apply your skincare products in the right order will harm your skin, cause irritation and even dryness. To get the full benefit of your skincare products you need to know how to layer them in the right way. Here is the exact order you must follow in your skincare routine.
Step #1: The Cleanser
You may have washed your face, but you must not apply any products on your face without first giving it a good cleanse with a cleanser. The cleanser goes deep into your pores to get rid of any dirt, grime, or oil that the soap and water weren’t able to wash off.
Step #2: The Toner
This step is essential to enable your skin to absorb the other products into your skin. Toners help to balance the pH levels and restore the skin after cleansing. It also gives your complexion that needed boost.
Step #3: The Serums
Serums contain a lot of rich and powerful ingredients like antioxidants, retinol, or ceramides. So, it’s wise to apply serums after toning to allow those ingredients to seep into the skin.
To ensure that the serum gets into the skin, it’s best to pat them on your skin. Just like other skincare products, it’s also important to note the order in which you layer your serums. You need to apply serums with a lighter consistency first before the ones with heavier consistency. This will ensure that both serums work effectively without overshadowing the other. You can check out these Gundry MD Dark Spot Diminisher reviews for an example of an effective serum for diminishing dark spots.
Step #4: The Eye Cream
The skin around your eyes is thinner and that area needs more tender love and care. Eye creams are usually lightweight to ensure easy absorption of nutrients into the skin.
Eye creams are never slathered under the eyes. That could irritate the delicate under-eye area. Just like serums, eye creams should be gently tapped into your skin but this time with your ring finger.
Step #5: The Moisturizer
Hydration is extremely important for your skin. Moisturizers provide you with the hydration your skin needs to look its best. If you have dry skin, you’ll need a lot more than other skin types. You could apply facial oil for added moisture.
Most people with oil-prone skin feel that they can skip this step but that would only set their oil glands into action. This would cause more pimples. A lightweight moisturizer is ideal for you if you have oily skin.
Step #6: The Sunscreen
The last layer must always be sunscreen. Prolonged sun exposure can be harmful to your skin and is oftentimes the cause of premature ageing. Consistent use of sunscreen will help reverse the signs of ageing.
Make sure that you choose a sunscreen with a high SPF for better protection from the sun. Never leave your house without applying sunscreen, even in the winter.
I’ve always wondered when is the best time to apply serums and it looks like I’ve been doing it wrong! Now I know, thank you 🙂
Oh nice. Glad you found the post useful. Thanks for stopping by 😊
I really should be kinder to my skin! I do leave some of these out! X
I only started paying more attention to my skin some years ago. You can start today.

I was told when I was 39 that I was doing things in the wrong order. I had never considered before that it actually really mattered. If your moisturiser has an spf in it do you still need to apply suncream on a regular weather day?
No you don’t apply suncream if your moisturiser has spf already. But you would need to reapply if your skin is exposed to sun.
I always forget step six – suncream. I am really bad and only wear it on holiday, I need to start wearing it x
Oh yes pls do xx
Do you know what is terrible? I have no skincare routine! I take my make up off with make up remover milk and that is it! I really need to start doing more. Especially wearing suncream!
Having a skincare routine is great for the skin. Wearing suncream is a must. But I know you are not alone with this. Many have no routine.
I am so bad at having a good skincare routine. I am hitting forty so really have to get my act together!!
You can change that today. I just started paying my skin more attention one day and not stopped since.
This is exactly my skincare routine except for the eye cream as I don’t use that and sometimes don’t use the sunscreen.
Ah good to know your skincare routine is quite similar.
The one thing I was never sure about was when to apply eye cream. So I’m glad I’ve read your post because I now realise I was doing it wrong. That’ll change from tonight!
Oh good 😊
I only moisturise my skin! I really should do better with my skin care routine
You could try out other skincare products.
This is a good routine. I must admit, I don’t really do all of them but I think it’s about time I change my own skincare routine and try to give this a try.
Glad you like the routine.
I literally use a cleansing wipe and a moisturiser – I think I need to up my game
You could try adding new products.
the right toner can be a real game changer! it is an important step of the skincare routine, that i have been skipping for years. But today I can not imagine living without them x
Oh good. I agree on the right toner being a game changer.
