This guide breaks down the correct skincare routine order across 9 steps, from cleanser through to sunscreen, explaining why applying products thinnest to thickest helps each one absorb and perform properly. It covers morning versus night routines, with morning focused on protection (hydration and SPF) and evening focused on repair (actives and richer moisturiser). Each step — cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, spot treatment, moisturiser, retinol, and sunscreen — is explained with practical advice on when to use it and how to match it to your skin type. The article also addresses common mistakes like over-layering actives and applying thick creams too early, and closes with a simple framework for building a consistent routine that's easy to maintain.

This guide covers the core principle of applying skincare from thinnest to thickest texture so each product absorbs properly without being blocked by heavier layers. It walks through a step-by-step routine — cleanse, toner (optional), serum, eye cream, moisturiser, and sunscreen — explaining the purpose of each step for morning and evening use. Key tips include placing vitamin C serums in the morning, reserving exfoliating acids like glycolic acid for night, and always finishing with sunscreen as the final morning layer. The article also addresses common mistakes like stacking too many actives, applying thick creams too early, and over-cleansing, and closes with simple sample routines for different skin types.
