π§ How to Layer Skincare Like a Pro
Unlock the full power of your products — step by step
Layering skincare isn’t just about applying products — it’s about timing, texture, and synergy. When done right, each step enhances the next, giving your skin the glow it deserves. Here’s how to layer like a pro, the SOUFJAN way.
π§Ό 1. Cleanser
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Double cleanse if needed — oil first, then water-based.
π¦ 2. Toner
Apply a hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH and prep it for absorption. Pat it in with your hands for a calming touch.
𧬠3. Essence (Optional)
Essences are lightweight hydrators that boost the effects of serums. Use if your skin feels thirsty or dull.
π§΄ 4. Serum
Choose a serum based on your skin’s needs — vitamin C for brightness, hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinamide for balance. Apply from thinnest to thickest.
π§ 5. Moisturizer
Seal everything in with a nourishing cream or gel. This step locks in hydration and keeps your skin soft and supple.
☀️ 6. SPF (Morning Only)
Finish with sunscreen in the morning — even if you’re indoors. It’s your skin’s best defense against aging and damage.
πΈ Final Glow Tip
Wait 30–60 seconds between layers. Let each product breathe, and your skin will glow with gratitude.
