How to Layer Your Skincare the Right Way (No Degree Required)

How to Layer Your Skincare the Right Way (No Degree Required)

Confused about what goes where in your skincare routine? You’re not alone.
Between cleansers, serums and creams, it’s easy to feel like you need a science degree to figure it all out.

That’s exactly why we created Face Junkie’s hashtag system.

What Is the Hashtag System?

Each of our products is labelled from #1 to #6, guiding you step-by-step through your daily routine. You don’t have to guess what comes next; just follow the numbers.

The Basics of Layering

In the morning:

  • 1 Prepare (Cleanser) → #2 Prevent (Serum)#3 Protect (Cream with SPF)

In the evening:

  • #4 Re-Cleanse (oil-based Cleanser)#5 Replace (serum)#6 Regenerate (night cream)

By following our numbered system, you’re applying products in the right order, which is key for absorption and results.

Why Order Matters

If you apply a thick cream before your serum, the serum may not absorb properly. Think of it like painting: the smooth base always goes first.

One Less Thing to Overthink

With Face Junkie, the order is built in. No confusion, no mismatched products — just skincare that makes sense.
