The Ultimate Guide to Layering Your Skincare Products Correctly

Getting your hands on authentic Korean and global skincare brands like Beauty of Joseon, The Ordinary, and CeraVe is only half the battle. If you aren't applying them in the correct order, your skin might not be getting the full benefits!

Here is the golden rule of skincare layering: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin Start with a clean canvas. Use a gentle cleanser suited for your skin type to wash away impurities, excess oil, and dirt without stripping your skin barrier.

Step 2: Hydrating Toner or Essence After patting your face dry, apply a lightweight toner or essence (like a hydrating Korean essence). This preps your skin cells and helps subsequent products absorb much deeper.

Step 3: Targeted Serums & Treatments This is where you target your specific skin concerns—whether it's dark spots with Vitamin C or acne with Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid. Apply your active serums now while your skin is slightly damp.

Step 4: Moisturizer Lock everything in! A good face moisturizer builds up your skin barrier and prevents all those active ingredients from evaporating. Step 5: Sunscreen (Morning Routine Only) Never skip SPF during the day. Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and premature aging.
