Master Your Routine: The Right Amount of Skincare and How to Apply It

Alright lovelies, let's talk about getting that skincare routine on point. We all know which products we should be using, but the real question is: how much should we be using and how do we apply them? Let’s break it down:

Cleanser

Your face is small, so there’s no need to drown it in cleanser. One pump or a dime-sized amount is perfect. When you mix it with water, it’ll lather up and spread easily over your face, neck, and chest. Start with a damp face, work the cleanser in upward motions, avoid your eyes, and rinse with cool water. Pro tip: Pat your face dry instead of rubbing it to keep those fine lines at bay.

Toner

Toner can be confusing, but it’s super easy to use. If you have a spray, just spritz it on your face and neck. You can also soak a cotton pad and wipe your face gently in an upward motion, or pat it into your skin with clean hands. Let it dry before moving on to your next step.

Serum

Less is more with serum. A little drop can cover your face, neck, and chest. Dot it across your face—forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks—and gently rub it in until it’s fully absorbed.

Eye Cream

A pea-sized amount is all you need for both eyes. Remember to apply it around your eyes, not just underneath. Use your ring finger for the lightest touch to avoid tugging on the delicate skin.

Moisturiser

A dime to nickel-sized amount of moisturiser is usually enough. If you have dry skin, you might need a bit more. Apply it in gentle upward circles once your skin is dry from the serum. This helps your skin absorb all the good stuff.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Use about a nickel-sized amount for your face, and don’t forget it’s the last step before makeup. It’s your shield against those sneaky UV rays, even on cloudy days.

Now you're all set to layer like a pro!
