How to Layer Your Skincare the Right Way

By Alice Anzanello

Build your ritual. Boost your results.

Great skincare isn’t just about what you use, but how you use it.
Layering your products correctly helps each one perform at its best, ensuring deep absorption, fewer irritations, and visible results.

Here’s how to build a Setosa ritual that works in harmony with your skin.

Step 1: Cleanse Gently

Start with a clean canvas. A gentle, non-stripping cleanser like Setosa Enzymatic Cleansing Mousse preps your skin to absorb active ingredients more effectively.
Pat your skin dry, leaving it slightly damp... hydration starts here.

Step 2: Apply Eye & Lip Contour Serum

Always treat your most delicate areas first.
The skin around the eyes and lips is thinner, so it benefits from early, targeted hydration. Use your ring finger to gently tap Setosa's Eye & Lip Contour Serum into place.

Step 3: Press in Your Face Serum

With your skin still slightly damp, apply 2–3 drops of Setosa Luminous Face Elixir.
Press it into the skin using flat palms rather than rubbing. This method boosts penetration and reduces friction.

Step 4: Seal with Moisture

Follow with Setosa Anti-aging Face Cream to lock in hydration.
This final layer protects your skin barrier and enhances the performance of your serum.

Bonus Tips for Layering:

  • Wait 30–60 seconds between steps to let each product absorb
  • Use upward motions to boost circulation and lift
  • Less is more—especially with concentrated serums like Setosa’s

The Beauty of Simplicity

Setosa was designed to work synergistically, meaning each product complements the next.
So whether you're following a 2-step routine or indulging in a full ritual, you can trust that your skin is receiving what it truly needs—nothing more, nothing less.
