After cleansing and any optional lighter care such as a serum, a moisturizer can form the final step of an evening routine. The order can remain uncomplicated; a simple routine of cleansing followed by a suitable moisturizer may already be enough for the night.
ETUDE SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream is the product featured in this editorial. It sits here as an example of the final layer, not as a reason to make an evening routine longer than it needs to be.
The Final Layer
Moisturizer is usually applied after lighter care products, though in a simple routine it can follow cleansing directly. Use an amount that feels appropriate for your skin, spread it gently across the face and avoid unnecessary rubbing. The product instructions remain a useful guide.
Different skin types and personal routines may call for lighter or richer textures. The transition into the evening is a good moment to keep the routine comfortable and let the final layer fit the way your skin feels that day.
Keep the Evening Routine Simple
An evening routine does not need many steps, and more products are not automatically better. Moisturizer can close the routine after cleansing and an optional serum, with the amount and texture chosen for personal comfort. A straightforward final layer can round out the evening without making it feel more complicated than it needs to be.
