From Eye Cream To Essence This Is The Exact Order To Apply Your Skincare Routine

The Ultimate Guide to Your Nighttime Skincare Routine

Step 1: Double Cleanse

This should only be part of your night-time routine unless you've left make-up on from the night before. Start by using an oil-based cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. Then, follow up with a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities.

Step 2: Exfoliate (Optional)

Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. However, it's important to only exfoliate 1-2 times per week, as over-exfoliating can damage your skin.

Step 3: Apply Toner

Toner helps to balance your skin's pH levels and remove any remaining impurities. It also helps to prepare your skin for the next steps in your routine.

Step 4: Apply Serum

Serums are concentrated treatments that target specific skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or dark spots. Apply a few drops of serum to your face and neck, and massage it in until it's absorbed.

Step 5: Apply Eye Cream

It's important to use a separate eye cream because the skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of your face. Eye creams are formulated to hydrate and protect the skin around your eyes, and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Step 6: Apply Moisturizer

Moisturizer helps to hydrate and protect your skin. Apply a dime-sized amount of moisturizer to your face and neck, and massage it in until it's absorbed.

Step 7: Apply Lip Balm

Lip balm helps to hydrate and protect your lips. Apply a thin layer of lip balm to your lips before bed.

Regardless of which products you choose, the order of application remains consistent.
