After cleansing comes the care products that remain on the skin. If you use a hydrating toner or serum, you usually apply it before the cream. Finally in the morning you apply sun protection, followed by make-up if necessary. There is no sun protection in the evening. For a routine with just a few products, the order follows: cleanse, apply cream and protect during the day.

When using multiple layers, the orientation from liquid to creamy often helps. However, it does not apply to every product: the application instructions on the package take precedence, especially for peelings or retinol. You don’t have to add an intermediate step just because it occurs in a detailed routine. Put your existing products in their order; that makes the next morning easier. You can find a clear explanation in our guide to morning and evening care.
