If you’ve ever wondered why your skincare products aren’t giving you the results you expected, the problem might not be what you’re using—but how you’re using it. The order of application matters more than most people realize, especially when it comes to serums.
At Bonjour Babe Beauty, our serums are designed to deliver high concentrations of active ingredients directly into your skin. But to get the full benefit, you’ll want to apply them in the correct order so they can absorb properly and work together without canceling each other out.
Why Skincare Layering Matters
Think of your skincare routine like building a house—you start with the foundation and layer upward. If you apply heavy creams first, lighter serums can’t penetrate through. The right order ensures every product can do its job.
General Rule:
Apply products from thinnest to thickest texture, and from most targeted to most protective.
Step-by-Step: How to Layer Bonjour Babe Beauty Products
Step 1: Cleanser
Start with a Gentle Cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping your skin.
Step 2: Toner
Use the Vitamin C Toner to balance skin’s pH, boost radiance, and prep your skin to absorb serums better.
Pro tip: Apply with a cotton pad or spritz directly, then pat in with clean hands.
Step 3: Targeted Serums
This is where you treat specific skin concerns:
-
Morning:
-
Niacinamide Vitamin Boost Serum – Minimizes pores, evens tone, and strengthens the skin barrier.
-
Apply first in the AM for bright, smooth skin all day.
-
-
Evening:
-
Collagen + Retinol Serum – Boosts collagen production, improves texture, and reduces fine lines.
-
Use at night since retinol can increase sun sensitivity.
-
If you’re using multiple serums, apply the thinnest first. For example, Niacinamide (lightweight) before Collagen + Retinol (slightly richer).
Step 4: Moisturizer
Seal in your serums with Oil-Free Daily Moisturizer—hydrating enough for dry spots, but lightweight for oily or combination skin.
Step 5: Sunscreen (AM Only)
Always finish your morning routine with SPF 30 or higher to protect your results.
Layering Tips for Best Results
-
Don’t Rush: Give each serum about 30 seconds to absorb before applying the next step.
-
Avoid Conflicts: If you’re new to retinol, don’t combine it with exfoliating acids in the same routine.
-
Listen to Your Skin: If it feels irritated, simplify your routine and reintroduce products slowly.
