Layering serum

[acquaro]

I am someone who is new to skincare, and just started a routine as a new year resolution! I was wondering if there’s like a hard rule on how to layer serums or should I ask the questions with my whole routine.

@acquaro @Rule of thumb is to apply thin to thicker products. If you don’t know which one to apply first apply them to your arm and see which drips down first.

Hi @acquaro great question!

There are some tips and tricks to layering your skincare so it's the most effective for you.  If your products are pilling (rubbing off) that's just ingredients that don't get along in the same and routine.  Some important points are things like keeping your Retinols to night time,  using Vitamin C in the day, where to put SPF vs Primer, and more.  It can seem like alot at first but it gets easier.  There's alot of info online you can read 📚 

But what is your skin care routine?

A basic one would be:

Wash,Toner,Serum or Essence,Moisturizer, Spf for day time 😉

A great routine is Wash,Moisturize,SPF, it's all you need. But adding targeted serums to suit your skin care goals is pretty fun and adventurous 💕

So another important question, is what do you want your skin care to do for you? And then it's just choosing products to help you reach your goals. 

I hope this was helpful 🙂

Those all sound great @acquaro 

Niacinamide is an ingredient I really enjoy in my skin care,  it's got some solid benefits. Your routine sounds awesome.
