How to layer skincare products?
Learning how to layer skincare products correctly is vital in order to attain radiant, healthy skin. By layering correctly, you ensure your skin receives all its full benefits. Here's a handy guide on how you can layer skincare products properly!
1. Start With A Clean Canvas
Before applying anything else, the cleanser should come first. Cleansing helps clear away dirt, oil, and makeup that accumulates throughout your day. Choose an appropriate cleanser suitable to your skin type to make sure products will penetrate correctly into the pores.
Tips for cleansing
- Use lukewarm water when cleansing.
- Do not scrub too hard when exfoliating
- Pat your face dry using a clean towel afterward.
2. Apply Toner
Toner plays an essential part in protecting and nurturing skin health. Toners help balance out pH levels to prepare it for further steps, remove any remaining debris left from cleansing, and help eliminate any residue left afterward. When selecting alcohol-free toners as these will avoid drying out the skin - simply pour some on a cotton pad and swipe over the face area for best results!
- Make sure your toner contains soothing ingredients like rose water.
- Hydrating components such as hyaluronic acid.
3. Continue with Serums
Serums are pure forms of active ingredients to treat specific skin problems, e.g. wrinkles, pigmentation spots or dryness. With their fast absorption rate and brilliant weight, serums need to go on early in your routine for the best effect – apply some drops and massage into the skin.
Popular serums include;
- Vitamin C serum for brightening
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration.
- Retinol for anti-aging

4. Moisturize to Lock It All In
Long-lasting hydration is supplied by moisturizers. Whatever your skin type or condition, it’s always best to moisturize as part of your daily routine, to lock in moisture and support its natural protective barriers. So apply your moisturizer over your serum and enjoy how great things feel afterward!
Types of moisturizers available today for oily or combination skin include
- gel-based for oily conditions
- cream-based for dry areas
- lightweight lotions to treat normal or combination complexions.
5. Don't Forget Sunscreen
No matter which products you use, always remember to end with sunscreen. Sunscreen protects skin against harmful UV rays which cause premature aging, sunburn, and possibly cancerous changes. Apply at least an SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning even on cloudy days!
Sunscreen Tips
- Apply sunscreen generously.
- Reapply every two hours when outside.
- Use a separate product instead of relying on makeup with SPF.

6. Extras: Masks and Exfoliation
Masks and exfoliants can add extra benefits to your skincare regime. They shouldn't necessarily replace daily products though! Aim to exfoliate once or twice each week in order to rid the body of dead skin cells while applying masks after cleansing but prior to serums or moisturizers as these extra treatments provide deeper treatment when necessary.
Types of exfoliants
- Chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs.
- Physical exfoliants like scrubs.
