LAYER UP

We asked an expert how to stack your skincare routine like a star

- Elaine Obran

Perhaps it’s our love for rituals, the buzz around Korean skincare or just the satisfaction of bringing products together to create amazing results - whatever the reason, layering our skincare has become about as essential as applying a daily SPF.

But among all the noise of serums, oils, moisturisers and elixirs, confusion has snuck into the lineup, too - yep, even for us beauty writers.

Lucky for you - and your overcomplicated beauty regime - we hit up Amelia Goff, the owner and founder of Fresh Face Skin, for her advice on layering your way to a flawless complexion.

TO LAYER OR NOT TO LAYER?

It’s one thing to have a multi-step approach to skincare, but it’s another to be in tune with your skin and know if you're doing it correctly.

Goff warns that this is where order matters, stressing that mismatched combinations or applying products in the incorrect sequence - despite the best intentions - can sometimes trigger skin concerns.
