When it comes to applying skincare products, there are different opinions on the correct order. However, the general rule is to layer products from thin to thick and to apply the products with the highest percentage of active ingredients first so that they are absorbed first. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply skincare products:
-
Makeup remover/cleansing oil: Start by removing any makeup or dirt from your face with a makeup remover or cleansing oil.
-
Cleanser: Follow up with a cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and prepare your skin for the next steps.
-
Toner/essence: Apply a toner or essence to balance your skins pH levels and provide hydration.
-
Serum: Apply a serum with active ingredients to target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, or dark spots.
-
Eye cream: Apply an eye cream to the delicate skin around your eyes to hydrate and reduce puffiness or dark circles.
-
Moisturizer: Apply a moisturizer to hydrate and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
-
Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Its important to note that you might not need all of these steps, and you should adjust your routine based on your skin type and concerns. Additionally, some experts recommend waiting a few minutes between each step to allow the product to fully absorb into your skin.
