When it comes to layering your skincare, start with the lightest, most fluid products — like serums and ampoules — because this will allow them to penetrate the skin and deliver their active ingredients right where they’re needed. Once those have absorbed, you can move on to thicker products like lotions and creams, which help lock in all that goodness.
This technique isn’t exclusive to any particular skincare routine; it’s a universal guideline that ensures each product performs its best. But if you’re trying out more of a multi-step Korean skincare routine, it’s still important to know! (BTW, you can read more about why the order of your skincare matters at Cleveland Clinic.)
Plus, it gives you a moment to really savor each step in your skincare ritual, turning it into a relaxing self-care experience that feels as indulgent as it is effective.
