Your guide to a simple skin care routine

Layering

Layering skincare products effectively can enhance their benefits and simplify your routine. Dendy Engelman suggests applying products from thinnest to thickest, starting with toner and ending with thicker creams like eye cream 1. This method ensures each product is absorbed properly, maximizing its effectiveness. Marielle Segarra emphasizes the importance of knowing your skin type and goals to tailor your routine 2.

If you're unsure if you're layering two serums, for example, thinnest to thickest is a really great rule of thumb.

Combining

Combining skincare products can save time and reduce complexity in your routine. Dendy Engelman highlights the convenience of using products that combine active ingredients, such as sunscreens with antioxidants or night creams with retinol 1. This approach not only simplifies the process but also ensures that you are not overloading your skin with too many separate products. Marielle Segarra advises patience and consistency, as skincare products take time to show results 2.

This is one area where it's okay to be convenient. Let's have a sunscreen that has antioxidants in it, or let's have a night cream that has humectants and retinol in it.
