How to Layer Your Skincare Like a Pro

Trilogy’s guide to radiant skin

If your skincare ritual isn’t delivering that natural glow, the issue might not be your products - it could be how you’re layering them. Applying your skincare in the right order helps each formula absorb properly and perform at its best. Here’s how to build a routine that works in harmony with your skin, using Trilogy’s powerful natural skincare.

Step 1: Cleanse

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prep your skin for nourishment.

Trilogy Tip: Double cleanse, particularly at night to remove make-up, SPF and excess build up – oil cleanser first, then cream/mousse. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping natural oils.

Step 2: Exfoliate

Gently buff away dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Trilogy Tip: Use 2–3 times a week to avoid over-exfoliation. Focus on areas prone to congestion or dullness.

Step 3: Tone

Restore balance and hydration with a toner that preps your skin for the next steps.

Trilogy Tip: Think of toner as your skin’s first drink of hydration. Apply immediately after cleansing to help lock in moisture and improve absorption of serums.

Step 4: Serum

Serums deliver targeted results - whether you’re brightening, calming, or firming.

Trilogy Tip: Apply serums to slightly damp skin for better absorption. Focus on areas of concern and gently press into the skin rather than rubbing.

Step 5: Eye Care

The delicate eye area deserves special attention.

Trilogy Tip: Use your ring finger to apply eye care - it naturally applies the least pressure. Tap gently around the orbital bone to avoid tugging the skin.

Step 6: Oil

Add a layer of deep nourishment, especially at night or during cooler months.

Trilogy Tip: Don’t be afraid to use oil, even on skin that isn’t dry. Facial oils can help regulate the skin's natural oil production – so all skin types can benefit.

Step 7: Moisturize

Lock in hydration and keep your skin soft and supple.

Trilogy Tip: Don’t forget your neck and décolletage – extend your moisturiser beyond your face to keep these areas nourished and protected.

Step 8: Sunscreen (AM only)

Help protect your skin from UV damage every morning.

Trilogy Tip: Apply sunscreen as the final step in your morning routine. Don’t forget areas like ears, neck, and hands – these are often exposed and easily overlooked.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. PROLONGED SUN-EXPOSURE SHOULD BE AVOIDED. SPF IS ONLY ONE FORM OF SUN PROTECTION. REAPPLY OFTEN.
