Best Practices for Layering Skincare Products

Layering skincare products can be a bit tricky with so many options available. It’s essential to know the right order to apply them for maximum effectiveness. Typically, the rule of thumb is to start with the lightest products and move to the heaviest. This often means starting with serums and finishing with creams.

Have you all discovered any specific combinations that work particularly well? Also, are there any products you avoid layering together? Sharing personal experiences could be helpful for those trying to optimize their skincare routines!
