How to Build the
Perfect Skin Care
Routine
It’s not enough to have
good skin-care products:
For your products to be
most effective, you also
need to apply them in the
correct order.
Your routine will depend
on your skin type, the
ingredients and formulations
of your products, and the
time of day. A good rule of
thumb, though, is to apply
in order of texture, from
thinnest to thickest, since
thin products won’t be able
to penetrate thicker ones.

Whether you have a threeor
nine-step routine, there’s
one thing anyone can do
to improve their skincare,
which is to apply products
in the right order. No matter
your skin concerns, you’ll
want to start with a clean,
toned base, then apply
concentrated, active
ingredients, and finish by
sealing in moisture—and, of
course, SPF in the daytime.
Here are the steps for a
good skincare regimen:
Wash your face
Morning and night, rinse your face
water and rub a small amount of
gentle cleanser between clean
palms. Massage face wash all over
your face using gentle pressure.
Rinse your hands and massage
your face with water to rinse your
face until you’ve removed the
cleanser and grime. Gently pat
your face dry with a soft towel. If
you wear makeup, you may need
to cleanse twice at night.
First, remove your makeup with
cleansing oil or micellar water. Try
leaving dedicated eye-makeup
removers on for a couple of
minutes to allow the makeup to
come off more easily and avoid
rubbing your eyes. Follow up with a
full-face gentle cleanse.
