On the long road to skincare, we are often surrounded by various skincare products and trivial skincare steps. From deep cleansing to moisturizing, every bottle and jar we use carries our expectations for beautiful skin. However, one key issue that is often overlooked by all of us during this tedious skincare process is the order in which we use these skincare products.
Have you encountered this situation, why the same product, different order of use, will bring completely different results? Or why doesn't certain products seem to be working the magic it claims in advertising? In fact, the right order when using skincare products is very important.
1. Maximize absorption:The effectiveness of a skincare product is largely determined by the ability to absorb its active ingredients. In general, skincare products should be followed:Use in order from the lightest to the heaviest
This ensures that products that are lightweight and contain a high concentration of active ingredients, such as serums, can come into direct contact** and are fully absorbed.
2. Prevent active ingredients from interfering with each otherDifferent skincare products contain different active ingredients and there can be 'fights' between these ingredients. Using the right order can reduce negative interactions between ingredientsto ensure that each product performs its best.
Certain products, especially cleansers and toners, are designed to regulate the pH level. The correct order of use helps to maintain a healthy state of balance.
3. Strengthen protection and moisturizingMoisturizers and sunscreens are usually used last。These products form a protective layer on the surface of the product, locking in the moisture and nutrients of the product in the previous step and protecting the product from environmental damage.
4. Improve the effect of specific productsSome products require direct contact** to be most effective, such as those used for** acne or dark spots. When used in the correct order, you can be sure that these products act directly on.

A gentle cleanser can be used in the morning, and a double cleanse may be required in the evening, with a cleansing oil followed by a cleanser.
Step 2: Toner (optional) toner helps to restore pH balance, remove any residue left behind by the cleanser, and prepare for the absorption of subsequent skincare products.

Step 6: Moisturizing moisturizer or lotion can lock in the moisture and keep it moisturized. It should be used after a thinner product to ensure that moisture and nutrients are locked in**.
Step 7: Sun ProtectionThe last step in your morning skincare should be to apply sunscreen, which should be used every day, regardless of the weather. Sunscreen should be applied after all other skincare productsto ensure its protective effect.
Step 8: Make-up (optional) If necessary, put make-up last. To put it simply, the skincare routine is usually as follows: cleansing, medication to be used, moisturizing, sun protection, and makeup.
