The Skincare Order That Changes Everything
Glow doesn’t come from more products —
it comes from the right order ✨
Even the best skincare can fail if layered incorrectly.
Products must absorb from lightest → richest to truly work.
Here’s the ToneLab-approved routine order that unlocks better hydration, smoother makeup, and happier skin — every day.
🌤 Morning Routine (for protection + radiance)
1️⃣ Cleanse — Refresh, don’t strip
✔ Light gel or cream cleanser
✔ Removes overnight oil + sweat
Avoid harsh foaming formulas
2️⃣ Tone / Mist — Hydrate the base
Preps skin to absorb what comes next
3️⃣ Serum — Treat your skin goals
Target: glow, fine lines, breakouts, dullness
ToneLab Pick: Hydra Prep Glow Serum
Thinnest textures ALWAYS go first.
4️⃣ Moisturizer — Seal in the goodness
Choose textures by skin type:
-
Oily: gel cream
-
Dry: nourishing cream
5️⃣ Sunscreen — Non-negotiable
The REAL anti-aging step
SPF 30+ every single morning 🌞
(oil-free for acne-prone skin)
6️⃣ (Optional) Makeup
Apply glow-enhancing ToneLab base 💛
🌙 Night Routine (for healing + repair)
1️⃣ Double Cleanse
✔ Oil cleanse → melt makeup & SPF
✔ Gentle second cleanse → clear pores
2️⃣ Toner / Essence
Rehydrates after cleansing
3️⃣ Treatment Serums
Night formulas can include:
-
Retinoids
-
Niacinamide
-
Exfoliating acids (not every day!)
4️⃣ Eye Cream
If you use one → apply before heavier layers
5️⃣ Moisturizer
Lock in moisture during sleep
Supports skin barrier recovery
6️⃣ Optional: Face Oil or Glow Balm
Helps seal everything in overnight
ToneLab Pick: Glow Balm Stick (skincare + highlight hybrid)
Repair thrives in the dark — treat skin with kindness before bed.
💡 Quick Rule: From Water → To Oil
Think of skincare like dressing your skin:
✨ sheer layers first → cozy layers last ✨
