How to Layer Skincare the Right Way (Without Pilling or Overdoing It)
Share
"Why is my moisturizer peeling off like eraser bits?"
I’ve been there. I’d finish my routine — feeling like I did everything right — and then five minutes later, my serum and cream would start pilling. Tiny rolls of product just… sitting on my skin.
So frustrating.
At first, I thought something was wrong with my products. But the truth?
It was all about how I was layering them.
The Mistake We All Make
I used to rush through my routine.
Layer after layer — toner, serum, cream, oil — all within 2 minutes.
No wait time. No thought. Just the goal of “finish and glow.”
But great skin isn’t built in a rush.
It’s built in layers — the right ones, in the right order, with the right pauses.
The Right Way to Layer Skincare (Without Pilling or Suffocating Your Skin)
Here’s the simple rule that changed everything for me:
Thin → Thick. Watery → Oily. Let each step breathe.
1️⃣ Cleanser
Start with a clean base.
Lanijam’s Gentle Cleansing Balm melts away makeup and stress — without stripping your skin.
2️⃣ Toner or Mist
Rebalance and prep. Go for light hydration that opens the skin up.
(You can skip this if you already use a hydrating serum.)
3️⃣ Serum
This is your treatment step. Use lightweight serums first, then heavier ones if you layer more than one.
Lanijam’s Hyaluronic Serum sinks in without stickiness — think of it as water for your skin.
⏳ Wait 30 seconds before the next step.
4️⃣ Moisturizer
Seal in all that hydration.
Lanijam’s Recovery Cream gives soft comfort without heaviness. No pilling. No residue.
5️⃣ Facial Oil or Sleeping Mask (if needed)
Use this at night for extra nourishment. Just 1–2 drops of oil or a thin layer of mask.
Lanijam’s Overnight Repair Mask feels like a hug after a long day.
🕯️ Final Thought
Layering isn’t just about order — it’s about intention.
Let your skin breathe between steps. Give it a moment.
Don’t rush the ritual.
With the right rhythm, your skincare won't just stay on — it'll sink in.
