In what order should skin care products be applied?

Skin care products should be applied in the order of thinnest to thickest consistency to ensure proper absorption and effectiveness of each product. This method allows the lighter, more easily absorbed products—such as serums and toners—to penetrate deeply into the skin before sealing in moisture and nutrients with heavier products like creams and oils. If thicker products are applied first, they can create a barrier that prevents lighter products from effectively accessing the skin, thus diminishing their intended benefits.

Using color and fragrance or applying products in random order does not take into account the formulation and consistency of each product, which are crucial for their efficacy. It's important to follow the appropriate layering technique to achieve the best results from a skin care routine.
