Decoding the Skincare Routine Order: When to Apply What?

Are you confused about when to use your serums and creams? You’re not alone. I can understand. There are so many products that might make someone intimidated, especially people who are just starting their skincare journey.

In this guide, we are going to decode an easy skincare routine order, helping you understand what you should apply and when.

The Golden Rule: Thin to Thick

The basic idea is that the thinnest, most watery product goes first. And the thickest, most creamy goes last. Why does it matter, though? Thick creams stop thin serums from soaking into your skin if you put them first.

Understanding Your Skincare Shelf: What to Use When?

Cleanser (Facewash):

The perfect skincare routine order starts with a fashwash. Use it in the morning to wash off oil and in the evening to wash off dirt and makeup. Choose a natural, chemical-free cleanser to avoid any harmful toxins.

Nourishing Serum:

It helps in protecting your face from pollution and brightens your face. It works best under your sunscreen lotion. Opt for a serum that has potent Ayurvedic ingredients, just like FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum.

It is a lightweight, non-comedogenic serum that nourishes your skin from deep inside, leaving a beautiful shine on your face, making your skin damp and hydrated.

Exfoliation:

This isn’t actually one of the layering skincare products, but it is an essential one. You must exfoliate your skin at least twice a week, ideally at night. Use a scrub before you apply a face pack or other nourishing products so that they can get deep inside after the pores are cleaned up.

Eyecream:

Eyes are the most sensitive part of our body, and that’s why they need extra care. Ideally, you would want to use it both times of the day.
