P.M. Step 5: Pile on the Night Cream
A New Kind of Night Mask The older you get, the less oil your skin produces. While that may be a cause for celebration for those with oily, acne-prone skin, it also means that your skin's natural hydration system isn't as effective -- meaning your skin will look older, faster. To combat the sudden drought-like landscape of your skin, Dr. Kraffert recommends a weekly sleep mask like La Prairie Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask or Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask in place of night cream.

A cabinet full of products to keep you blemish-, wrinkle- and sun spot-free means nothing if you don't know in what order to apply them. Instead of slapping them on and crossing our fingers, we conducted a skin care nerd-out session with board certified dermatologists Dendy Engelman, M.D., and Craig Kraffert, M.D., who is also the president of Korean skincare line Amarté. We grilled them to find out which products should be applied first, last and everywhere in between so that they can perform exactly as they're supposed to. Here, these derms school us in the exhaustive process of layering skin care.
