Step #2: Toner

After cleansing the second step is toning. Toning is a very important step in the skincare order because it provides you double benefits. Firstly, it will cross-check if any dirt or residue is left behind. Next, it will prep your skin for the application and absorption of other skincare products.

But the need is to know your skin and then make the right choice for yourself. You can start with lighter face oils that are preferably applied during day time.

Tips:

Daytime Routine: Light-weight and anti-oxidant-rich face oils are better to use in the daytime. La Coéss REVITALISÉ Nutrient Organic Face Oil can be a great choice in this regard. One thing to remember is to apply the serum first, then the face oil, and then moisturizer. This is the best skincare order for daytime applications.

Nighttime Routine: You can use the same face oil or can even go for a richer one at night. But the skincare order for the nighttime routine would include the facial oil to be applied at the end.

Step #5:  Moisturizer

Moisturizer is another important step in the skincare order. Different moisturizers will be used according to your skin type. Rich creamy moisturizers go best for people with dry skin to make it hydrated. And for oily skin, you can go for lightweight moisturizers. You must know your skin before getting yourself a moisturizer.

Step #6 (for day time only): Sunscreen

The most important but mostly neglected step in the skincare order is the sunscreen. You need to apply good sunscreen daily after your moisturizer. Your daytime skincare routine is incomplete without sunscreen. According to the latest research, using a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 15 is recommended. People with fairer skin can even go for higher-SPF sunscreen.

Skincare Booster: Face mask

Applying a face mask once or twice a week can be a bonus step in the skincare order. You just need to apply a cleanser and toner before the mask and you are good to go. The rest of the steps remain the same.

Skincare Booster: Exfoliation

Another step that you can gradually include in your daily skincare order is exfoliation. You can start once a week and then bring it up daily after building up the tolerance. Remember that over-exfoliating your skin can have the same consequences on your skin as not exfoliating completely.
