Steps
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water for about 60 seconds. Rinse well and avoid hot water, which can leave skin feeling tight.
Pat your face dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing it. Leave your skin slightly damp so the next products spread more easily.
Sweep a small amount of toner over your face with your hands or a cotton pad. Skip toners that leave your skin stinging or tight.
Press a few drops of vitamin C serum into your face and neck. Give it about 30 seconds to sink in before the next layer.
Apply a pea-sized amount of moisturizer all over your face and neck. This seals in the serum underneath.
Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Do this every day, even when it is cloudy.
At night, use a richer night cream after your moisturizer and leave out the sunscreen. Keep the same patting motion.
Pat each product into your skin rather than rubbing it. Rubbing pulls at the skin and can leave it red.
Tips and common mistakes
Patch test any new serum or cream on your inner arm for 24 hours before putting it on your face.
Wait around 30 seconds between layers so each product absorbs instead of pilling.
Sunscreen always goes last in the morning, and you need to reapply it every two hours outdoors.
Use the lightest product first and the thickest last, so creams and oils never block your serum.
Questions
Do I really need a toner?
No. Toner is optional, and many people skip it. If your skin feels tight or stings after toning, leave it out of your routine.
Can I use vitamin C serum at night instead?
Yes, you can. Many people prefer it in the morning under sunscreen, but using it in the evening works too.
How long before I notice a difference?
Give a new routine a few weeks of consistent use before judging it. Change one product at a time so you know what suits your skin.
