Quick answer

Apply Yummy Skin Glow Serum after cleansing and before moisturizer. This allows the serum's skincare ingredients to absorb fully while the moisturizer seals in hydration and glow.

Why layering order matters for glow serums

Serums are formulated with smaller molecules that penetrate deeper into the skin. Applying them before a thicker moisturizer ensures active ingredients reach the skin effectively. If you reverse the order, the moisturizer can create a barrier that blocks the serum from absorbing properly, reducing its glow-enhancing benefits.

Yummy Skin Glow Serum is a skincare-infused priming serum designed to hydrate, prep, and protect. Its sheer bronze tint adds a lit-from-within radiance, but only if the product is able to sit close to the skin. Layering it correctly maximizes both the skincare and glow effects.

When to skip moisturizer after the serum

If you have oily or combination skin, you might find the serum provides enough hydration on its own, especially in humid weather. The serum's hydrating formula can double as a lightweight moisturizer for some skin types. However, if your skin feels tight or dry after application, follow with a moisturizer to lock in the benefits.

For dry or mature skin, always layer a moisturizer over the serum. The serum preps and plumps, while the moisturizer prevents water loss and keeps the glow from fading throughout the day.

Step-by-step layering guide

  1. Step 1: Cleanse and pat dry: Start with a clean, damp face. Gently pat skin dry with a towel, leaving it slightly damp to help the serum spread evenly. Applying serum to damp skin can boost absorption, but avoid rubbing vigorously.
  2. Step 2: Apply Yummy Skin Glow Serum: Dispense 2-3 drops of the serum onto your fingertips. Press and smooth it over your face and neck in upward strokes. Focus on areas where you want extra glow, like the high points of your cheeks. Common mistake: using too much product. A few drops are enough; excess can cause pilling under makeup.
  3. Step 3: Wait 30 seconds for absorption: Allow the serum to absorb into the skin before moving to the next step. The texture should feel slightly tacky but not wet. This ensures the serum's active ingredients have time to sink in. Skipping this wait time can dilute your moisturizer and reduce the serum's glow effect.
  4. Step 4: Apply moisturizer: Take a pea-sized amount of your regular moisturizer and gently press it over the serum. Use a light hand to avoid disturbing the serum layer underneath. Focus on drier areas like the cheeks and forehead. Avoid rubbing or massaging aggressively, as this can break down the serum's film and cause pilling.
  5. Step 5: Finish with SPF (daytime) or face oil (nighttime): In the morning, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step. At night, you can seal everything with a few drops of face oil if your skin is very dry. SPF is non-negotiable for daytime — the glow serum enhances radiance, but it does not protect against UV damage.
