What Order Should I Follow for My Skin Care Routine?

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I applying my skincare products in the right order?” — you’re not alone!
A good skincare routine is not just about what products you use, but also the order in which you use them. Applying products correctly helps your skin absorb them better and get the most benefit.

Let’s break it down step-by-step

Step 1: Cleanser

Always start with a clean face.
Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, or makeup. Cleansing prepares your skin to absorb the next products properly.
Morning & Night

Tip: Try Skinaa Gentle Skin Cleanser — it cleans without drying out your skin.

Step 2: Toner

After cleansing, use a toner to refresh your skin and balance its pH level.
Toners help remove any leftover impurities and prep your skin for serums or treatments.
Use with a cotton pad or pat directly onto skin.

Try: Skinaa Anti-Acne Toner for oily or acne-prone skin.

Step 3: Serum

Serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin issues like dullness, acne, or fine lines.
Apply a few drops of serum and gently pat it into your skin.

Choose the right one for your concern:

Skinaa Vitamin C Serum for glow
Skinaa Niacinamide Serum for pores and oil control
Skinaa Hyaluronic Acid Serum for deep hydration
Skinaa Retinol Serum for anti-aging

Step 4: Moisturizer

Lock in hydration and keep your skin soft with a good moisturizer.
Even if you have oily skin, don’t skip this step! A lightweight, non-greasy formula works best.

For example:

Skinaa Moisturizing Lotion – great for everyday use
Skinaa BabySoft Lotion – gentle and soothing for sensitive skin

Step 5: Sunscreen (Morning Only)

Sunscreen is your best defense against premature aging, tanning, and skin damage.
Apply it as the final step in your morning routine, even if you’re staying indoors.

Try:

Skinaa Ultra Matte Sunscreen SPF 50+ for oily skin
Skinaa Aqua Sunscreen SPF 50+ for a light, dewy finish
Skinaa Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50+ for natural coverage

Step 6: Night Care

At night, skip the sunscreen and use a repairing product instead — like a nourishing cream or serum that helps your skin recover while you sleep.

Bonus tip: Once or twice a week, use Skinaa Clay Mask Exfoliator or Skinaa Anti-Acne Mask to give your skin a deep cleanse and glow boost.

Final Thoughts

The right order makes all the difference!
Remember this simple rule:
Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen (Day only)
