You don’t want to mess up this order and ruin all the hundreds of hours you spent choosing the right skincare products (and the hundreds of dollars you spent on it).

Cleanse
No matter if you have skin that looks like a baby’s bottom or skin that’s pockmarked with years of acne scars, using a facial cleanser should always be the first part of your daytime skincare routine (or nighttime). This way you can remove any oils or impurities that are on your skin before putting on any other skincare products.

Tone
Toner isn’t necessarily a mandatory step in your skincare routine, but it can be a great way to brighten, exfoliate, and treat skin issues like acne. It can also balance out the ph of your skin, so if you do use toner, apply it on your damp skin right after cleansing.
Moisturize (Including Eye Cream)
Before you apply moisturizer, apply eye cream gently onto your eye area, by tapping the delicate skin around your eyes. If you have dark circles around your eyes or puffy eyes, eye cream is an important skincare product to use.
Once you have eye cream in place, use a high-quality moisturizer on your face and neck. If you have dry skin then you can consider using a thicker cream that can help prevent water loss. But for normal skin, a thin water-based moisturizer is more than enough.
Sunscreen
No matter if you live in a place where the days are mostly cloudy or rainy, sunscreen is the most important thing you can use in your daytime skincare routine. Make sure to use a sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are working outdoors (or if you sit next to the window). Don’t skimp on this skincare product and choose wisely.
