How to Layer Skincare in 90 Seconds
Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency, waiting 15-30 seconds between each layer for proper absorption.
- Start with clean skin. Use your regular cleanser and pat skin dry with a clean towel. Damp skin actually helps serums absorb better, so don't wait for complete dryness.
- Apply thinnest products first. Start with toner or essence if you use one, then serums, then oils. The thinnest consistency always goes first so it can actually penetrate your skin.
- Wait between layers. Give each product 15-30 seconds to absorb before applying the next. You'll feel when it's ready—the tackiness disappears and your skin feels smooth again.
- Finish with moisturizer. Apply your moisturizer last, using upward motions from your jawline to your forehead. This seals everything underneath and prevents moisture loss.
