OSKIA’s Head Therapist and skincare expert Holly Webster recommends layering products for optimum performance, so she’s helped us put together a step-by-step guide on how to reap maximum benefits from your skincare staples for a happy, and most importantly healthy, complexion.
DAILY
Step 1: Cleanser
Cleansing is an essential first-step, both morning and night. Cleanse in the morning to remove any oils released over night and to perk up your skin before makeup application. Follow up with a double cleanse every evening, firstly to remove sunscreen, makeup and impurities, and secondly to treat the skin.
Try our bestselling Renaissance Cleansing Gel or choose one of our other award-winning cleansers to suit your skincare needs.
Step 2: Eye Serum
An eye serum should form the base layer of your skincare routines post-cleansing/exfoliating/toning. Start by using both ring fingers to apply a fine layer of eye serum to the entire eye area from temple to temple, both morning and night.

Step 3: Serum
Next, massage your favourite serum into your face, neck and décolleté until absorbed. It may be you chose the same serum both morning and night, or use serums that have different actives while your skin focuses on rejuvenating overnight.
Try our Isotonic Hydra-Serum, Super 16 or Midnight Elixir
Step 4: Moisturise
Follow up with a moisturiser morning and night to keep the skin deeply hydrated.
Try our Nutri-Active Day Cream or Bedtime Beauty Boost
Step 5: Oil
Finally, due to larger molecular size, oils should be applied last. In cooler months you may chose to add an oil to your routine in the daytime as well as at night.

WEEKLY
Exfoliate or apply a mask 1-2 times a week
Add a weekly treatment to your routine, whether it be exfoliating to gently buff away dead skin cells and impurities or applying a mask to deeply cleanse, boost radiance and tackle ageing concerns. Weekly treatments with exfoliating and resurfacing properties will help your skincare products to absorb better and allow makeup to sit flawlessly on the skin.
We recommend pampering your skin with a treatment once a week, or twice a week for dry or mature skin types. Don’t be afraid to alternate between treatments if you would like to mix things a bit. Always apply post-cleanse.
