There are so many different types of skincare products that serve various purposes and despite what our significant others might say as they are accidentally knocking down one of our $100 skin product while reaching for the toothpaste in the morning, we need all of them.
Still, not everyone is aware that there is an ordering system on how to apply skincare products. Therefore, here is a quick cheat sheet on how to apply your skincare products after washing your face and toning your skin.
MORNING ROUTINE:
- Serum – I’ve become a huge fan of face serums. Serums work the best when they are applied to freshly washed and toned skin, because they can absorb into the skin.
- Targeted Treatment – Topical prescription, spot treatments, and eye creams are best applied before moisturizer. If you apply them after your moisturizer, they might not be as effective.
- Moisturizer – You have to moisturize. It’s important. Therefore, don’t skip this step.
- All Over Treatment – The next thing to apply is an antioxidant treatment, all over acne treatment, and/or facial oil, because these products can be very harsh to your skin. Therefore, having already moisturizing your skin will act as a barrier for these products.
- SPF – You can’t skip this product. No matter the season, temperature, or weather, apply sunscreen. You can slather it on before your foundation or mix it with your foundation, just do it.
NIGHT ROUTINE:
The night time routine is not as lengthy as the daytime version, but just as important. Your skin rejuvenates overnight. So, you want to make sure you apply your skincare products. Here are the steps to take for applying your skincare products following thoroughly cleansing your face.
- Retinol, Prescription, or Serum
- Target Treatment
- Moisturizing Night Cream
I hope this reaches and helps those who needed to learn these steps. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
