Routines
What order do you apply skincare in?
Step-by-step routines for your face, body, hair, and vaginal care, based on recommendations from doctors. Each step explains what it does, how to apply it, and what to watch for if you're pregnant or trying to conceive.
Face
The basic rule: cleanse first, then apply products from the thinnest (watery toners and serums) to the thickest (creams), and finish with sunscreen in the morning. You don't need every step. A cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen are the essentials; add the rest only if they help your skin.

Body
Body skin needs the same basics as your face: cleanse gently, moisturize, and protect from the sun. The most important tip from dermatologists is timing: moisturize right after your shower, while your skin is still damp.

Hair
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. The general rule from dermatologists: shampoo your scalp, condition your ends, and choose products made for your hair type.

Vaginal care
Many of us were never taught this. The most important thing to know: your vagina (the inside) cleans itself, so it doesn't need soap, washes, or douches. Your vulva (the outside, including the labia) only needs gentle care. Less is more.

Dry, oily, curly, sensitive, pregnant, or postpartum: each guide has a routine, the ingredients that help, what to go easy on, and when to see a doctor.
Pregnant or trying to conceive?
Your routine order doesn't change, but some ingredients do. Jouaxia rates retinoids (like retinol) and hydroquinone Avoid, and salicylic acid, arbutin, and some chemical sunscreen filters Use caution. Look for the pregnancy notes on each step, and check your routine with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.
