The question I get asked the most is “what order should I apply my skincare products?” and today I am answering your questions about your morning routine!!
STEP 1: CLEANSE
- You can use a gentle, non stripping cleanser or simply use water.
STEP 2: TONER/ESSENCE
- This is technically optional but I NEVER skip it! Toner helps to balance your skin’s pH level, and you can achieve many benefits to toners and essences with ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration or niacinamide for brightening.
STEP 3: SERUMS - VITAMIN C
- You can either apply your serums from thinnest to thickest OR from most potent to least potent. I typically use thinnest to thickest, but those with sensitive skin may want to go the other way around.
- Vitamin C is a must have in the morning!!!
- Another favorite of mine is the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops.
STEP 4: EYE CREAM
- Use an illuminating tinted eye cream for help with dark circles.
- Moisturizing you’re under eyes is soooo important for makeup application. You don’t want cakey under eyes!
STEP 5: MOISTURIZER
- I like to use something more lightweight in the morning since I usually apply a separate sunscreen. You could also use a 2-in-1 sunscreen moisturizer combo.
STEP 6: SUNSCREEN
- SPF is soooo important in the morning!!! This prevents irritation, melasma and dark spots, redness, fine lines, wrinkles, etc. as well as protecting yourself from skin cancer!

I hope this helped you!! If you have any other questions, I would be happy to help! 💛😊
