Introduction

Skincare routines are gaining awareness among people in the aesthetics world. I personally observed this during my time at Wellaholic in Singapore and Laser Clinics Australia. It’s not just about the products you use; it’s also about when and how you use them.

I get asked all the time, “What’s the correct order of skincare?” and my answer always starts with, “Well, it depends on your skin type and goals, but there are some general guidelines.”

Let me break it down for you, sharing what I’ve learned and observed from countless customer interactions and my ongoing research into skincare best practices.

Whether you’re a skincare novice or a seasoned enthusiast, getting the sequence right can make a huge difference in your skin’s health and appearance.

Mastering Your Skincare Routine: A Pro’s Guide to Layering Products

As an Aesthetic Director with over ten years in the industry, I’ve learned that the sequence of applying skincare products varies depending on your skin type. Many online articles provide generic advice without considering that the writer may have completely different skin needs than the reader. For example, dry and sensitive skin often doesn’t require a toner, and facial oils aren’t suitable for everyone.

When layering products, I recommend starting with thinner, water-based formulas, followed by thicker, oil-based ones. In the morning, always finish with SPF or sunblock to protect your skin from UV damage. It’s a simple guideline I share with my clients at Wellaholic.

Throughout my career, I’ve created cheat sheets to help customers remember the proper skincare application sequence for their skin type. Personalizing your routine based on your unique needs is key to achieving the best results. Feel free to ask me if you need help figuring out the ideal regimen for your skin!

Daytime Skincare Routine

As an aesthetic expert, I always emphasize the importance of a proper daytime skincare routine. It not only prepares your skin for the day but also protects it from environmental stressors.

Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. This step removes impurities and prepares your skin for the next steps. While some debate the necessity of toners, I recommend using one, especially if it contains exfoliating acids like AHAs or BHAs. These can help remove any remaining dirt and grime.

Next, apply a vitamin C serum. These antioxidant-rich serums provide an extra layer of protection against pollution and environmental damage. Follow with a hydrating serum if your skin needs an added moisture boost.

After serums, moisturize with a product suited for your skin type – whether dry, oily, or combination. This step locks in hydration and nourishes your skin.

Finally, never skip sunscreen. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF moisturizer or sunscreen daily, especially if you use active ingredients like acids or retinol in your routine. Sun protection is crucial for maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

By following this simple routine, you’ll give your skin the care it needs to look its radiant best throughout the day.

Nighttime Skincare Routine

As an Aesthetic Director with over a decade of experience, I’ve helped countless clients achieve their best skin. A proper evening skincare routine is crucial for maintaining healthy, glowing skin.

Start by removing makeup and cleansing away the day’s dirt and grime. Double cleansing is a great option for a thorough clean. Use a gentle cleanser and a soft muslin cloth or flannel for best results.

If you’re using a mask, apply it after cleansing, about twice a week. Follow with the rest of your usual skincare routine. When using retinol, a powerful ingredient, swap out any acid-containing products to avoid reactions. Retinol can also increase sun sensitivity, so always apply it at night and use SPF the next morning. Introduce retinol slowly, starting with a low concentration, and consider skipping acids altogether on retinol nights. Apply treatment serums first, followed by exfoliating serums containing ingredients like glycolic acid.

Finish your evening routine with a moisturizer or facial oil suited for your skin type. This final step seals in all the beneficial ingredients and hydrates your skin overnight.

Remember, consistency is key. Stick to your routine, and you’ll see the results – healthier, more radiant skin that looks and feels its best.
