Finally! How to apply your day and night clean skincare routine, in order

The number of skincare products we’re supposed to layer on our face is staggering: cleanser, oils, serums, moisturizers, toners, sunscreens, and that’s before you even get into the hybrids like a tinted moisturizer sunscreen. What in the WORLD are you supposed to put on your face to look the youngest and healthiest? That’s the goal, right? here’s the proper day and night clean skincare routine, thanks to clean beauty brand Biossance.

One of the reasons I LOOOOOVE Biossance is that on the website, the company actually explains each skincare routine step. I know that seems obvious, but no other company does this as well as Biossance does. The website includes a list of each step and when to use each product. I LOVE the Biossance anti-aging skincare line (read my Biossance review!) My skin is transformed after using it. Am I completely wrinkle-free with zero signs of aging? No, it’s not Botox. But, my sunspots aren’t prominent and my skin is smooth and doesn’t feel like sandpaper. So, winning the 40s skin game.

Step by Step Clean Skincare Routine

Let’s bring it back to the topic of this blog post: the actual order we’re supposed to apply the arsenal of products we’ve accumulated to wage war on wrinkles. THANK YOU, BIOSSANCE. This graphic answers a life-long question that’s perplexed me each morning: I washed my face last night, isn’t it clean? And here’s the answer: skip cleansing. Oh, ok. Well, that makes a lot of sense. Just splash on some toner and get your serum on. Four decades of dutifully washing my face morning + night, and one infographic explained the obvious.

Here’s my current clean skincare routine:

Toner

First, a toner. The Beautycounter Countertime Minteral Boost Hydrating Essence is so soothing.

Eye Treatment

Next, a little tube of magic. Let me blow your mind: use this around your eyes AND lips to reduce wrinkles. Woah, I know.

Serum

Then, a serum to reduce wrinkles. Squalene + Phyto-Retinol Serum: Pretty sure this is why my skin looks so smooth & even.

Moisturizer

This is the reason I love biossance. I’ve tried other less expensive moisturizers (acure) and I love Beautycounter Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream. Biossance Squalene + Omega Repair Cream is a day + night cream truly makes my skin feel balanced.

Cleanser

Once you try an oil cleanser, you’ll never want to try one that suds.

Oil

Finally, an oil. Oooh, the Biossance rose oil is magical and makes your skin glow (but not in a shiny way.)
