Acquiring a trusted arsenal of beauty products is easy, but figuring out the right order to applying skincare is another challenge. I know this because I learned from trial and error. But once I figured it all out, my complexion began to improve each day?so much so, I wear very little makeup because glowing skin should speak for itself.

Whether you?re a beauty product junkie or a newbie to this whole ?proper skincare routine,? use this cheat sheet to learn the right order to applying skincare and get the most out of your products!

Step 1: Cleanse
Whether you?re getting ready to start the day or washing the city off your face, cleansing always comes first. At night, I like to remove my makeup using Glossier Milky Jelly and in the morning, I opt for a refreshing cleansing cloth. Step 2: Exfoliate (1-2 times per week)
Exfoliating once or twice a week will keep your complexion in check by sloughing away dead skin and dullness. The results I get from this Aveeno face scrub is incredible. While it’s gentle enough to use daily, I keep it safe by applying only a couple times a week.
Step 3: Tone
Applying toner has not been a part of my routine until last year. But I quickly learned I need this to help absorb serums and moisturizers. I feel super lucky to have discovered an affordable toner by Pixi that just works wonders on my sensitive skin. Personally, I only use this a few days a week when my complexion needs a pick-me-up.
Step 4: Apply Serum(s)
OK?so I?m kind of new ...
