How to Organize
Your Skincare

And Why it Matters

WRITTEN BY: Margi Kimball | September 1, 2024

In the words of the inimitable Monica Gellar, “Rules are good. Rules help control the fun.” This encapsulates exactly how I feel when I rearrange my skincare drawer, because clearing the clutter means clearing my mind–and it makes my ritual a total joy rather than a chore. Here are 3 ways to organize your skincare.

Make It a Moment

Skincare is all about self-care–and self-care is about practicing the rituals that bring us joy. I think the most powerful rituals are efficient, easy to achieve, and well-organized–because clearing clutter means clearing the mind. Arranging your skincare in a perfect-for-you way doesn’t just mean you’ll be more likely to use it, but that you’ll be able to find immense pleasure in your daily ritual, too.

Here are four ways to organize your products.

Ways to Organize

1. Organize By Routine
Most of us use different skincare for day and night, which can offer a simple structure for your product organization. Group your morning products in one section of your shelf or cabinet, and your night products in another. That way, you won’t have to think about what to use when.

2. Organize by Order of Application

Many of us have built our own custom routines, which is wonderful! But how do you arrange those products in an efficient, quick-to-use way? We like to line up our daily must-haves in order of application. Generally, we recommend applying skincare from thinnest to thickest, like this: 1) Cleanser 2) Serum 3) Eye Cream 4) Face Cream 5) Face Oil. Correctives can have their own bin. This method works especially well if you only have one product per category.

4.Organize by Category

Keep more than one Serum in the mix? Have three Face Oils you absolutely love? We get it. What our skin needs may change from day to day, which means which products we use might change, too. Grouping by category (like Serums to the left, Face Oils to the right) allows you to easily choose which products best suit your skin on any given day. Want to take it to the next level? Within each grouping, organize products from thickest to thinnest, that way if you wake up with particularly dry-feeling skin, you know it’s a thicker, left-side Serum & Face Oil day. Skin feeling a little blemish-prone? Stick to the lighter products on the right end of each group.

5.Order by Rainbow
While this may be the least practical method, it can also be the most beautiful. After all, organizing our skincare is as much about improving efficiency as it is about enhancing the moment, and nothing delights me quite like a thoughtful aesthetic detail. For me, organizing by rainbow sparks serious joy.

 

Keep It Fresh

Whichever method you choose, it’s important to regularly rotate your drawer or shelf because skincare expires over time. Wondering if your products need to be replaced? Because our products are naturally-derived and formulated without synthetic preservatives, our skincare is at its freshest 6-12 months after purchase.
