LAYERING PRODUCTS

Layering skincare can be confusing. The general rule is to apply lightweight formulas first to be easily absorbed without the barrier of heavier creams. It's also advised to apply water-based products before oil-based products to maximize active ingredients' penetration in the same concept.

After each layer, allow time for the product to absorb. This will help prevent pilling– tiny little balls you get when you've used too much product. You can brush your teeth between steps, do a dance, take a selfie, whatever you're like that will give your skin a little extra time to absorb products in between steps.

Note this is a generalized step. You do not need a complicated routine. In fact, When first dabbling into skincare, start with the core of your routine—cleanser, moisturizer, SPF—then slowly work your way up from there. Serums, exfoliants, and masks are a great supplement to your routine but should be used on an as-needed basis.
