ADVICE

Morning Skincare Application Order

  • In the morning, apply skincare in this order: cleanse, vitamin C serum, moisturizer, then sunscreen as the last step.
  • Sunscreen should be the final layer before makeup to ensure maximum sun protection.
ADVICE

Nighttime Retinoid Application Tips

  • At night, double cleanse and apply your retinoid either on clean skin or over moisturizer depending on sensitivity.
  • Using retinoid after moisturizer can reduce irritation by buffering absorption for sensitive skin.
ADVICE

Adjust Exfoliation for Cooler Weather

  • Dial back exfoliation intensity and frequency in fall and winter due to skin barrier changes and lower humidity.
  • Switch from stronger summer exfoliants to gentler acids like lactic or mandelic acid for cooler months.
