Before deciding what goes on first, decide what belongs in your routine. Write down the role of each product: cleansing, hydration, eye care, moisturising, facial oil or occasional treatment.
Remove unnecessary overlap
If two products do the same job, you may not need to use both. A new set should fill a useful gap, not require you to apply every bottle you own.
Follow the specific directions
For Maktafa, Begin · Focus · Complete names the roles within a box. It is not a universal rule for layering every ingredient. A removal product must be used as directed; an eye formula belongs around the eye contour; an exfoliant has its own frequency.
Keep occasional products separate
Make a simple note of which evenings, if any, include exfoliation. Do not add other exfoliants just because they come in another ritual. If your skin becomes uncomfortable, stop the new product and review its directions.
Check the essentials
Does your chosen box include cleansing and a face moisturiser? Do you have separate daytime sun protection? Read Morning and Evening Skincare to plan around those needs.
