The Correct Order of Skincare (AM & PM) — Simple, No Confusion
Most skincare doesn’t fail because of bad products.
It fails because of the wrong order.
You can own the best serum in the world —
layer it incorrectly, and it quietly stops working.
Let’s fix that. Simply. Forever.
The Golden Rule of Layering
Light to thick.
Water to oil.
Treatment before sealing.
If you remember this, you’ll never mess up your routine again.
Your Morning Routine (AM)
Your AM routine is about protection, not correction.
1. Cleanser
To remove sweat, oil, and last night’s skincare.
2. Hydrating Toner
Wakes up the skin. Prepares it.
3. Serum (If Needed)
Vitamin C, niacinamide, hydration — keep it light.
4. Moisturizer
Locks everything in.
5. Sunscreen (Non-Negotiable)
Your glow survives only if this step exists.
If you skip sunscreen, your AM routine is incomplete.
Harsh truth. Real truth.
Your Night Routine (PM)
Your PM routine is where healing happens.
1. Cleanser
Double cleanse if you wore heavy sunscreen or makeup.
2. Hydrating Toner
Resets your skin after the day.
3. Treatment Serum
Acne. Pigmentation. Repair.
This is where actives belong.
4. Moisturizer
Barrier support. Recovery mode on.
That’s all you need.
More steps don’t mean better skin — just louder skin.
Where People Ruin Their Skin (Common Order Mistakes)
- Applying oil before serum
- Using actives after moisturizer
- Layering 3 treatments together
- Skipping moisturizer at night
- Using sunscreen at night (yes, people do that)
Your skin doesn’t need confusion.
It needs clarity.
The Truth About Over-Layering
Not every routine needs:
- Essence
- Ampoule
- Booster
- Sleeping mask
- Facial oil
If your skin feels:
- Heavy
- Sticky
- Congested
It’s not glowing.
It’s overloaded.
One Rule That Will Save Your Skin for Life
Treatment on clean skin.
Moisturizer on calm skin.
Sunscreen on protected skin.
Break this order — and your results break too.
