How to Layer Skincare in 90 Seconds

Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency, waiting 15-30 seconds between each layer for proper absorption.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Finish with moisturizer. Apply your moisturizer last, using upward motions from your jawline to your forehead. This seals everything underneath and prevents moisture loss.
