What to apply first, what comes next, and what you can skip — a clear guide for Nigerian weather and skin.
Most skincare problems come from using the right products in the wrong order — or too many at once. The golden rule: thinnest to thickest, and sunscreen always last in the morning.
You only need four basics: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen and one targeted treatment. Everything else is optional.
Below is the exact order for morning and night, plus how to fit in actives like vitamin C, niacinamide and retinol.
In the order you should apply them.
Vitamin C in the morning; niacinamide, azelaic acid or retinol at night as needed.
Shop Serums →The most important step. SPF 30+ every single day, even indoors near windows.
Shop Sunscreen →Cleanse → vitamin C or niacinamide → moisturizer → sunscreen.
Cleanse (double-cleanse if wearing sunscreen or makeup) → treatment → moisturizer.
Introduce one new active at a time, wait two weeks, and never use retinol and strong acids on the same night.
Cleanser, toner or essence, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and — in the morning — sunscreen last. Apply thinnest textures first.
Four is plenty: cleanser, treatment serum, moisturizer and sunscreen. Add more only if you have a specific concern.
After. Sunscreen is the final step of your morning routine.
At night, starting two or three nights a week, always followed by moisturizer. Wear sunscreen daily when using retinol.
Hydration improves within days. Texture, acne and tone usually take 6–12 weeks of consistency.
