We can't stress enough the importance of establishing a solid and consistent beauty routine done. Not only will you notice a huge improvement in skin clarity, you won't have to waste time on trying to figure out which products to use next. Below is a basic guideline on how to apply your morning and evening staples in the correct order:

A.M. SKINCARE ROUTINE

1. Cleanse and tone: Cleanse and/or tone with a gentle formula to prepare your face for treatment and makeup.
2. Treat and moisturize: If you use a serum or gel, apply it to clean skin and let it soak in for five minutes. Apply moisturizer after the treatment is fully absorbed.
3. Protect and perfect: Slather on a quarter-sized dollop of your favorite sunscreen allover the face and neck and let it set for a few minutes. Apply your makeup after as usual.

P.M. SKINCARE ROUTINE

1. Cleanse & Tone: Cleanse and/or tone with your favorite products.
2. Treat & Moisturize: Apply serums, gels, and any topical spot treatments and let them soak in for 10 minutes. Spread serum onto damp skin for extra hydration.
3. Nourish and Moisturize: Dab eye cream around the orbital socket of the eyes. Be sure not to apply eye cream too close to the lashes. Apply moisturizer as usual.
4. (Optional) Exfoliants and Masks: Exfoliate once or twice per week on clean skin. Put on a purifying or hydrating mask onto clean skin once a week on evenings you don't exfoliate
