    Starting out Thin

    A great place to begin thinking about your routine is to apply in order of texture; from thinnest to thickest, since thin products such as serums won’t be able to penetrate thicker ones like a night cream.

    Three Main Steps

    Cleansing — Washing your face. 
    Toning — Balancing the skin.
    Moisturizing — Hydrating and softening the skin.

    • 4. Apply eye cream

      Eye creams combat dak circles and fine lines. You can apply regular moisturizer to your under-eye area, but if you decide to use a specialized eye cream, you’ll typically want to layer it underneath moisturizer, since eye creams tend to be thinner than face moisturizers. You can also use a facial tool to apply eye cream and penetrate the skin deeper, or store it in the fridge to counteract puffiness in the morning.

    • 5. Moisturize

      Moisturizer both hydrates skin and locks in all the other layers of product you’ve applied to make them more effective. Look for a lightweight cream for the morning, in the evening you can use a thicker night cream. Those with dry skin may want to use a cream morning and night. Consider also chosing a different body moisturizer. Body creams are usually thicker than face moisturizers because clogging pores is not as much of a concern, with thicker emollients aimed at protecting the skin.

    7. Apply face oil

    If you use a face oil, make sure to apply it after your other skin-care products since nothing else will be able to penetrate the oil.
