Confused

I’m confused about the whole skincare thing.

In the mornings I wash face in shower then stick Oil of Olay on and do make up,

Evening I remove make up with Superdrug hot cloth cleanser thingy. Bedtime I put on Oil of allay night cream.

I now have, thanks to Santa I have serum, eye cream, make up remover and toner.

What do I do with them and when do I do it?

Probably sounds daft to most of you but think I missed the skincare lesson in school lol.

This would my theory but I could be wrong...

Morning = wash face, toner, serum. Oil of Olay
Evening = make up remover (assuming you’ve had make up on), hot cloth, toner, oil of Olay night and then eye cream.

Does the serum and eye cream say once a day?

Thanks. - they do say once a day.

Do I leave space between each product? Ie let them dry or do I just do one after another!

Eye cream then Serum then Olay I think. I always do eye cream first but being really unhelpful I can’t remember why. Sorry

Use the eye cream just around your eyes and do not put serum or face cream around your eyes. I would only use the serum at night after toning and before night cream.

I wonder why the eye cream says once a day?

What toner and serum do you actually have? There are so many types with different intended uses - that makes a massive difference to how you should be using them. A vitamin C serum and a glycolic acid toner for example should be used completely differently to a hyaluronic serum and glycerin toner. Also stop washing your face in the shower! The water is too warm, wash at the sink with tepid water :)
