Applying Your Skin Care In the Right Order

Sequencing your skin care routine seems relatively easy, but at times can be difficult to grasp which products follow which. Once you establish a solid and consistent routine, you'll notice huge improvement in skin clarity. Discover how to apply your morning and evening staples in the correct order.

Step 1: Cleanse and tone.
Cleanse and/or tone with a gentle formula to prepare your face for treatment and makeup.
Step 2: Treat and moisturize.
If you use a serum or gel, apply it to clean skin and let it soak in for five minutes. Apply moisturizer after the treatment is fully absorbed.
Step 3: Protect and perfect.
Slather on a quarter-sized dollop of your favorite sunscreen allover the face and neck and let it set for a few minutes. Apply your makeup after as usual.
