What Order Should I Apply My Skincare? A Simple Morning & Night Routine

The order you apply your skincare matters more than most people realise. Get it right and every product works harder. Get it wrong and you could be blocking actives before they even reach your skin.

Here is the simple, no-fuss guide to building a routine that actually works, morning and night.

☀️ The Morning Routine

Your morning routine is all about protection and brightness. You are preparing your skin to face the day, from UV exposure to pollution and everything in between.

Step 1: Cleanser
Start clean. A gentle cleanser removes overnight oils and preps your skin to absorb what comes next.

Step 2: Vitamin C Serum
Apply your Vitamin C Serum Stick to slightly damp skin. This is your morning brightener and antioxidant shield. It works with your SPF to protect against UV-induced damage throughout the day. Glide it over your face and neck and let it absorb fully.

Step 3: Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Layer your Hyaluronic Acid Serum Stick on top while skin is still slightly damp. It locks in moisture and gives you that plump, dewy finish that lasts all day.

Step 4: Moisturiser
Seal everything in with your moisturiser. This keeps your serums working and your skin barrier intact.

Step 5: SPF
Always last. SPF is non-negotiable, especially when you are using actives like Vitamin C and Retinol.

🌙 The Night Routine

Night is when your skin repairs and regenerates. This is when your actives do their best work, so load up and let them run.

Step 1: Cleanser
Double cleanse if you have worn SPF or makeup. You want a completely clean canvas before applying actives at night.

Step 2: Clay Mask (2 to 3x per week)
This is where the LuxeSticks clay masks shine. Roll directly onto dry skin, leave for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse. Choose your mask based on your skin needs. Our full range covers everything from brightening to deep purifying. Masks always go before serums.

Step 3: Retinol Serum
On nights you are using your Retinol Serum Stick, apply it now. Start 2 to 3 nights per week and build up gradually. This is your anti-ageing workhorse that speeds up cell turnover while you sleep.

Step 4: Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid Serums
Layer your Collagen Serum Stick and Hyaluronic Acid Serum Stick on top. Together they plump, firm, and deeply hydrate overnight. Your skin will thank you in the morning.

Step 5: Collagen Eye Masks (bonus step)
While your serums absorb, apply a pair of our Vitamin C Hydra Collagen Eye Masks under your eyes. Targeted collagen and Vitamin C delivery to the most delicate skin on your face. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes and wake up looking rested and refreshed.
