I've been doing beauty treatments for a while now and the #1 mistake I see?

People layer their skincare in the wrong order.

Here's what actually works:

1. Double cleanse — Oil cleanser first to break down makeup and SPF, then a gentle water-based cleanser. Most people skip the oil step and wonder why their skin still feels congested.

2. Treat while damp — Apply your serums (vitamin C in AM, retinol in PM) while your skin is still slightly damp. Absorption increases dramatically.

3. Seal it in — Moisturizer locks everything in. If your skin is dry, add a facial oil on top of moisturizer, not under.

That's it. No 12-step routine needed.
