FYI , just in case you are perhaps as clueless as I once was , THIS is the proposed order for using your skincare products.
Cleanse , tone and then moisturise your skin in the morning before you kick start your day , and once more as you wrap up your day before bed.
Once or twice a week replace your cleanser with an exfoliating face wash to remove any dead skin cells which are dulling down the appearance of your skin.
