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

Thinnest textures ALWAYS go first.

4️⃣ Moisturizer — Seal in the goodness

Choose textures by skin type:

  • Oily: gel cream

5️⃣ Sunscreen — Non-negotiable

The REAL anti-aging step

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
