1. Introduction
Do you ever wonder if you’re applying your skincare in the right order? I used to mix serums like cocktails — until I realised, timing and sequence matter as much as the ingredients themselves.
Let’s simplify the science of layering so every product you use delivers maximum glow.
2. The Golden Rules of Layering
Always move from lightest to heaviest: cleanse → tone → essence → serum → moisturiser → SPF (AM).
Give each product 30–60 seconds to absorb before applying the next. Over-layering can dilute active ingredients or trigger sensitivity.
3. Morning vs. Night Routine
- AM: Antioxidants + protection (Vitamin C, SPF).
- PM: Repair + renewal (retinoids, peptides).
