Right order to apply skincare PM

2025/6/17 Edited to

... Read moreAchieving an effective PM skincare routine is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Start with a gentle cleanser that matches your skin type, such as the CeraVe Smoothing Cleanser for dry or rough skin that keeps the skin barrier intact. Following cleansing, incorporate exfoliation 1-3 times weekly to remove dead skin cells, using a product like Z:SEA Exfoliating Mousse. Next, apply an essence or serum; the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is known for its hydrating properties. Finally, lock in moisture with a rich moisturizer like CeraVe's Moisturising Lotion, designed for very dry skin, which includes essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration overnight. Always remember to adapt your routine based on your skin's specific needs and seasonal changes. This structured approach can help you achieve a more radiant and youthful appearance over time.
