Start with cleansing
Your night routine should remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup using products suited to your preferences.
Choose one leave-on layer
A toner, essence, or serum can add hydration or a focused routine goal, but one well-chosen step is enough for beginners.
Finish with moisturizer
A moisturizer helps the routine feel complete and can be adjusted by season and skin feel.
