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.


🧼 1. Cleanser

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Double cleanse if needed — oil first, then water-based.

πŸ’¦ 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.

🧬 3. Essence (Optional)

Essences are lightweight hydrators that boost the effects of serums. Use if your skin feels thirsty or dull.

🧴 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.

🧁 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.

🌸 Final Glow Tip

Wait 30–60 seconds between layers. Let each product breathe, and your skin will glow with gratitude.
