For those who get confused about the order of their skincare routine, it is easy to remember if you do it this way.

While studying home care, I noticed that many people are confused about the order in which to apply products. I was the same way. I’d like to share the information I gathered while researching.

The basic principle is from thin to thick.

The basic order is Toner → Essence → Ampoule → Serum → Eye Cream → Lotion → Cream. They say that applying products with lighter textures first ensures proper absorption.

3 minutes after washing your face is the golden time.

They say that skin moisture evaporates quickly as time passes after washing your face. My habit changed after I learned that I need to apply toner within 3 minutes to properly lock in moisture.

Layering toner is effective.

Applying thin layers with your hands two or three times is much more effective for hydration than wiping it off once. It takes a little time, but the condition of your skin is definitely different the next morning.

Sunscreen is the last step.

Sunscreen should be applied last in your skincare routine to ensure proper UV protection. You should apply sunscreen over your cream, and then apply makeup on top. I heard that changing the order reduces the protective effect.

While studying, I realized there were quite a few things I had been mistaken about. Now that I know the basics properly, home care has become much more fun haha.
