I end my shower by washing my face using any of the three cleansers I mentioned but not all of them at once! After that, I put about 5 to 7 drops of one of the toners on a round cotton pad and gently swipe it on my face in an outwards direction. I proceed with the serum once my face has dried from the toner. I let that dry too before I apply my eye cream and moisturizer. Once my face is dry, I finish my skincare routine by putting sun protection.

Once I get home and I am sure that I won't be going outside anymore, I immediately remove my make up using any of the first three make-up removers that I mentioned. I only use the fourth one for "emergency" situations or when I have eye makeup and I want to remove it first before using oil cleansers. After rinsing the cleansing oil, I put a dime-size amount of one of the cleansers, usually the VMV one since it is also a gentle scrub, and cleanse my face for roughly 30 seconds. Then like in the morning, I damp a round cotton pad with a toner and gently swipe it outwards on my face making sure that it comes off clean. Once my face is dry, I put a serum, then let it dry before putting an ampoule which I would also wait to dry before putting an emulsion. Next is eye cream, then a face cream, or once in a while, a sleeping mask. If I have pimples on my face that are very noticeable, that's when I would use a spot treatment.
