How to build a skincare routine
A strong skincare routine does not need to be complicated. The goal is to use the right products in the right order, based on your skin’s needs and the time of day.
Morning Routine
AM skincare routine order
- Cleanse to remove excess oil and overnight build-up.
- Hydrate with a serum suited to dehydration or skin comfort.
- Moisturise to support softness and daily skin balance.
- Protect with SPF as the final daytime step.
Night Routine
PM skincare routine order
- Cleanse to remove the day and prep skin properly.
- Treat with a targeted evening serum or treatment.
- Repair with a barrier-supporting cream or moisturiser.
- Seal with an overnight mask or final hydrating layer.

Choose by routine role
Start by deciding whether you need a cleanser, serum, moisturiser, SPF or overnight treatment. This avoids building a routine around random products that duplicate the same role.
Choose by skin goal
If your priority is hydration, dullness, visible oil or barrier support, use that goal to narrow down the right ingredient cluster before adding extra steps.
Keep AM and PM different
Morning routines should focus on cleanse, hydrate, moisturise and protect. Night routines are where treatment, repair and sealing steps fit more naturally.
Build gradually
Stronger routines usually come from consistency and clear product roles, not from using too many formulas at once.
Skincare guide FAQs
What is a basic skincare routine?
A basic skincare routine usually includes a cleanser, a treatment or hydrating step, a moisturiser and SPF in the morning. At night, SPF is replaced by a treatment, repair or overnight sealing step.
What order should I use skincare in?
In most routines, use skincare from cleansing first through to your final protective or sealing step. Morning routines usually end with SPF. Night routines usually end with a richer moisturiser or overnight mask.
Which skincare ingredients are best for dehydration?
Hydration-focused routines often start with ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, then move into moisturisers that help support softness and skin comfort.
What is the difference between a serum and a moisturiser?
Serums are usually used as targeted routine steps before moisturiser. Moisturisers are used later in the routine to support softness, comfort and day or night skin balance.
Where should SPF sit in a routine?
SPF is the final step of a daytime skincare routine, after moisturiser and before makeup if makeup is used.
