Learn the basics of layering skin products that will enhance beauty products
Skin care is the end-all-be-all before your exterior beauty routine. Makeup application needs to start with a rich base of skin-enriching products.
As if a cosmetic application isn’t dreadful enough, we can understand why skincare layering is equally as scary and confusing. TikTok certainly does not help by showcasing on your FYP new 10-step skin product routines that are somehow ‘trending’ on a daily basis. We’ve pulled together a guide on the perfect order of getting your facial base routine down pat to avoid any issues with your enhancement products.
Cleanse
Morning or night, do it! Clean your face and neck area with your favorite cleanser to get rid of every scrap of oil, dirt, and taco residue sitting on your chin from 3 hours ago. This first step in your skin-perfecting routine helps to eliminate surface-level germs sitting in your pores.
Toner
After gently cleansing your skin, it’s time to go in with a bit of toner and wipe off any residual dirt that may have still remained. Use a cotton pad or a clean microfiber cloth, dab with a bit of toner, and get to clarifying those pores!
Serum and Spot Treatment
Using topical treatments like niacinamide can literally zap away acne, absorb oils, and lighten those acne scars! The general rule is to start with your favorite serum or spot treatment that caters to your biggest skin care scaries. Make sure to use one that will absorb into the skin in the most effective way.
Moisturizer
Let’s get it straight. Even if your skin is considered oily or in combination, you still need to moisturize. It is one of the necessities to have in your skincare routine, daylight or nighttime! Reach for your favorite tube or tub of your facial moisturizer and get to massaging away! Avoid rubbing delicate areas like your under eyes. Instead, lightly pat in! We recommend using a lighter moisturizer for the day and a heavy one at night.
SPF – SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen is strictly non-negotiable. This is an end-all-be-all game changer for your daytime skincare regime. Grab that SPF and massage a hefty amount onto your face! Our facial skin is delicate, so applying a facial sunscreen ensures that our skin barrier is protected from harmful UV rays radiating from the sun. Get this, even if it’s cloudy out or you’re inside all day, applying sunscreen still helps in the fight against premature aging!
Seeking a Professional Esthetician’s help in your skin care journey isn’t a bad thing either. In fact, it’s a GOOD thing!
