How To Layer Skincare: A Simple Guide

Let's face it: skincare layering can be confusing. Do oils come before water-based serums? Or do serums go before oils? And where the heck does toner go? While a multi-step routine might seem overwhelming, applying your skincare in the right order can make or break the efficiency of your products.

Here's the right order for layering your skincare products for best results.
