The Silk RobeSkincare routine: A guide to product order and your skin type
A good skincare routine doesn’t have to take forever or involve a bathroom shelf full of products. It should suit your skin, feel good, and give each product a chance to do its thing.
Here’s how to build a daily routine with room for results, glow, and a moment to yourself.
Why is a daily skincare routine important?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ and your natural barrier against wind, changing temperatures, sun, and pollution. A consistent skincare routine helps keep it hydrated, nourished, and balanced – and feeling soft and supple.
Start with the essentials: gentle cleansing, hydration, nourishment, and sun protection. Then add mist, serum, or oil depending on what your skin needs.
And remember: your skin changes. What feels just right in January might not be what it needs in July.
The right order for your skincare routine
Which product goes on first? A good rule of thumb is to start with light, water-based textures and work your way toward richer, more nourishing layers.
- Cleanser: Start fresh. A facial cleanser removes makeup, excess oil, dirt, and whatever the day has left on your skin.
- Mist or toner: A light layer of hydration and a fresh start for the rest of your routine. Mist Delight gently showers your skin with fine, hydrating droplets.
- Serum: Your concentrated layer of care. Think of it as the base layer your cream goes over. Choose one that suits your skin’s needs, whether that’s moisture, glow, firmness, or a more even skin tone.
- Facial oil: A few drops bring extra nourishment, softness, and glow. Warm the oil between your hands, then gently press it into your skin. If you have combination or oilier skin, you may find you’re happy to skip this step.
- Face cream: Your cream brings it all together, helping your skin hold on to moisture and leaving it comfortably nourished.
- Sun protection: In the morning, finish with SPF. Sun Face Cream is a daily moisturizer with sun protection, so it can take the place of your regular face cream.
Let this order guide you, with a little room to find what feels best. You can also apply facial oil over your cream for extra nourishment or mix a few drops into it. Your skin may not need every step, but sun protection is one we recommend for everyone, whatever your skin type.
Morning vs. evening: How to build a skincare routine
Your skin needs different things throughout the day. In the morning, focus on hydration and protection. In the evening, cleanse away the day and give your skin time to settle into nourishing care.
Morning routine: Protection and hydration
Keep your morning routine simple: cleanser, mist, serum, then moisturizer or SPF. If your skin feels dry or needs a little more softness, add a facial oil before your cream.
Go with textures your skin enjoys. Combination skin often gets along well with a lightweight moisturizer, while dry skin may feel more comfortable with a richer cream.
Evening routine: Cleanse, replenish, and slow down
Evening is your chance to cleanse thoroughly and take your time. Wearing makeup or SPF? Or just in the mood for a more thorough cleanse? Try double cleansing with Hydrating Cleansing Milk or Nourishing Cleansing Oil, followed by Gentle Cleansing Foam.
Follow with mist and serum, then finish with the cream or oil your skin needs. Enjoy the textures, take a few gentle moments to massage them in, and notice how your skin feels.
Tailor your skincare routine to your skin type
There’s no single skincare routine that works for everyone. Your skin type, how your skin feels right now, the season, and your lifestyle all play a part. Start by getting to know your skin and what makes it feel good.
Skincare routine for dry skin
Dry skin naturally produces less oil and can feel tight, rough, or flaky. Give it both hydration and lipids to help it hold on to that moisture.
Start with Hydrating Cleansing Milk for a gentle cleanse with a soft, rich feel. Follow with a hydrating serum, such as Firming Perfector Serum or Sun Face Serum SPF 50 for sunny days, then apply Açai All in One Moisturizer or the extra-rich Firming Therapy Rich Cream. Still craving more? A few drops of Açai Facial Oil add nourishment and glow.
Skincare routine for combination skin
Combination skin can feel like having two skin types at once: a shiny T-zone and cheeks that feel dry or dehydrated. Give your skin care that helps it find its balance without stripping away its natural oils.
Try Gentle Cleansing Foam, a serum, and lightweight Moisture Delight, which hydrates without feeling heavy. You can adjust how much you use across your face. Your cheeks may appreciate a little more care than your forehead and nose.
Skincare routine for sensitive skin
Sensitive skin often appreciates a little breathing room. Keep things simple and introduce new products gradually.
Hydrating Cleansing Milk is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested, and tested on sensitive skin. So is Açai Anti-stress Facial Cream, developed with dry, sensitive, and overstimulated skin in mind. Build a gentle, comforting routine that helps your skin feel at ease.
Skincare routine for wrinkles and fine lines
Skin feeling a little less firm or elastic? We’ve got you. Our Firming collection gives your skin a generous dose of hydration from hyaluronic acid, while an active apple stem cell extract helps stimulate skin cell renewal.
Start with a cleanse in a texture you love and that suits your skin: Nourishing Cleansing Oil, Hydrating Cleansing Milk, or Gentle Cleansing Foam. Follow with a hydrating mist, then let Firming Perfector Serum get to work. Finish with Firming Therapy Moisturizer or Firming Therapy Rich Cream.
What about a skincare routine for men?
Our skincare is made for skin, whatever your gender. Choose your products based on your skin type, how your skin feels, and what it needs right now.
The essentials are the same: cleansing, hydration, and SPF. Add serum or oil whenever your skin needs more care. Shaving can leave skin feeling sensitive, so try a mild cleanser like Gentle Cleansing Foam, followed by the soothing hydration of Açai Anti-stress Facial Cream.

Skincare routine FAQ
The best skincare routine suits your skin and is one you’ll actually enjoy sticking with. Start with gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection. Then add mist, serum, or oil as your skin needs it.
Cleanse first, then move from light to rich textures: mist or toner, serum, facial oil, and face cream. In the morning, finish with sun protection.
Serum first, then moisturizer. A serum usually has a lighter texture and goes on after cleansing and mist. Think of it as your skin’s base layer, with your cream on top to add nourishment and help hold on to moisture.
If you use them separately, apply moisturizer first and sunscreen as the last step in your morning skincare routine. We recommend a daily moisturizer with SPF so you can get hydration and sun protection in one step. Just make sure you apply enough to get the protection stated on the packaging.
Yes, as long as it also gives your skin the hydration and care it needs. A daily moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF can do both jobs. Sun Face Cream SPF 30, for example, combines moisture, nourishment, and sun protection in a daily face cream. Prefer a serum texture? Sun Face Serum SPF 30 brings SPF to that step of your routine.
