1. Use some cleanser which work for you if you close your eyes and use it on your lashes, it removes any non-waterproof mascara with ease, so I never have to use a separate eye makeup remover.
2. Your next step should be a toner, especially if you have oily skin. Forget that stinky yellow Seabreeze astringent of yore; you should be using an alcohol-free toner.
3. Retinol is a MUST to keep fine lines at bay and even your skin tone. I have been using a prescription retinoid consistently (except when pregnant) since I was 14.
4. Apply an essence. Is essence the same thing as a serum, you say? Nope, essence is a stinky water that you press into your skin BEFORE your serum.
5. Apply eye serum.
6. Enjoy! =)
