Having a healthy skin routine can help keep skin cleansed and hydrated, improve skin’s appearance, and even help maintain skin’s barrier. In addition to addressing skin concerns, a daily routine is your first step towards healthy-looking skin.

If you are looking to start a skincare routine, schedule a consultation with a Kiehl’s Skincare Expert to learn more about your skin’s hydration levels and unique concerns. You can also learn more about your skin type and find formulas ideal for your skin whether it is oily, sensitive, dry or combination.

A healthy skin routine has a few key components. At Kiehl’s we recommend that you cleanse, tone, moisturize and apply sunscreen every day. For acne, dark spots and discolorations, fine lines and wrinkles and other concerns, apply targeted facial serums and treatments. Several times a week, treat your skin with a facial mask formulated to detoxify, hydrate or help firm skin.

After you have discovered your skin type and identified your skin concerns, look for formulas suitable for you. At your Kiehl’s consultation, our Skincare Experts can recommend skincare products that will effectively target your concerns and help you begin a healthy skin routine.

At Kiehl’s we recommend the following order for applying skincare products:

1. Face Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Eye Treatment
4. Facial Essence and/or Serum
5. Face Oil
6. Moisturizer
7. Sunscreen (during the day!)

If you are using a rinse-off face mask, apply after cleansing and follow with the rest of your skincare routine. If you are applying an overnight face mask, use it after or in place of your moisturizer according to the formula’s directions.
