HOW TO LAYER
Unsure how to apply your Maelove products?
Learn how to make the most of your skincare routine with this simple layering guide.
THE BASICS
The general rule of layering is to cleanse first, then apply serums, creams, and oils, in that order.
1
Cleansers
Start your routine with a fresh face
2
Serums
This is the treatment step! Stack your serums geared towards you skin concern
3
Creams
Using a cream locks in the serum beneath it and strengthens the skin's moisture barrier
4
Oils
Nourish the skin and help regulate sebum production
5
Sunscreen
The last step in your skincare routine regardless of weather! SPF helps protect you from harmful UV rays, sun damage, and reduces the risk of skin cancer
ROUTINE TIP
Layer your skincare products from thinnest to thickest in texture to maximize absorption and avoid pilling. Follow the order for the products you are using.

Is it safe to layer these products together?
All Maelove products are formulated to work together, but everyone's skin is a little different. If you’re a beginner to using products containing actives that promote exfoliation and cell turnover, start with using one product at a time, without layering. Use each product 2-3x a week to check for skin sensitivity. They can be used together in the same routine if tolerated.
