Very important skin care question. Please help.?

Okay so here it goes. I'm not very much into skin care and all so my question is (i know its weird) that I've heard daily skin care routine includes cleansing, exfoliation, toning & moisturizing. At what time of the day do we need to follow this? I mean I use an exfoliating face wash during my shower that cleanses & exfoliates my skin at the same time. After that i use a moisturizer, but no toner. At night before going off to sleep, i use deep cleansing milk & toner, but no moisturizer, to get rid of dirt & oil (as I have combination skin). Is this regimen right or do I need to change? I'm not sure but I have this impression that all these steps are to followed in one go & one after another. Uhgg! I'm really confused. Help!

    exfoliating is like using a scrub to remove read skin cells. you dont want to over do it. so dont exfoliate more than twice a week. and make sure you use a FACE srub, because any other scrub would be too harsh.

    cleansing obviously is using a face wash. do this once in the morning and once at night.

    toner is used to balance your skin tone. do this both morning and evening as well. toner is used AFTER cleansing.

    lastly moisturizer... do this once in the morning and once at night as well. AFTER toning.

    also, a face mask can be used once a week to remove extra oil yet hydrate at the same time.
