The rule of thumb to keep in mind as you go through your routine is to apply those with the thinnest consistency first and build your way up to the thickest. Another way to look at this is from liquid to oil.

However, you still want to wait a few minutes in between product applications to make sure your skin soaks up all of their goodness.
Now that you have the basics, you know precisely how to layer your skincare products like a beauty guru.
