HOW TO APPLY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS IN THE RIGHT ORDER IN 2022

Learning how to apply skincare products in the right order needs to be emphasized,

Due to the increase in skincare products in the market both offline and online,

A lot of people find it difficult to get the right steps to take in applying the skincare product in the right order.

the difference between products and how to apply them to get the best result is very important.

Whether you have an 8, 10, or 15 step regimen or like to use only two simple products,

everyone can benefit from a little skincare tip, because the order in which you put on your serums, oils, moisturizers, and SPFs can make them work even better.

You might choose the right products for your skin type but it’s highly important to layer them correctly as well.

There is a general order for applying skincare products but there are a few variances. to take note of.

For example, your morning should include an SPF to protect your skin from the sun during the day, but you can skip the SPF at night for obvious reasons. I mean there’s no sunlight at night right?

For your nightly skincare routine,

I recommend focusing on treatment products that can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight,

such as topical retinoids for acne and other prescription medications for acne problems. such as eczema or rosacea.

She also added that any product used to treat and improve a known skin concern is best reserved for your nightly routine.

Cleanser

when thinking of applying skincare products in the right order,

literally, none of your skincare treatments would work if you did not have a clean canvas to start with,

which is why cleaning in the morning and evening is important.

The primary rule:

choose a facial cleanser that’s right for your skin type. Face toners are great
I will recommend the dry skin type to opt in for a facial cleanser with ingredients like

ceramides and glycerin to extend the barrier, but if your skin is extremely dry please opt for an oil-based cleanser.

Those with oilier skin should opt in for a gel-based formula, while skin type that is sensitive may fly with just using micellar water.
It is important to note, that washing twice each day is okay but the most important time to cleanse is in the hours of darkness.
The reason is for  You to remove the dirt, oil, makeup, and pollution from the skin that gathered up throughout the day.

 Exfoliation

Exfoliation is another important step in any skincare routine. Many will be wondering why? well here’s why
Exfoliation eliminates dead skin for a brighter skin tone.

Also refers to the removal of the dead skin cells on the skin’s surface.

Since it is proven that the skin naturally sheds dead skin cells every thirty days or so.
When this takes place new skin cells from the top layers of your skin. And if those dead cells don’t shed, it can result to dull, dry wacky patches.
Exfoliating skin products is very essential because it helps to speed up that process by removing those dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.

If you are a skincare minimalist who likes to use products that do double duty, I suggest using an exfoliating cleanser or sticking together with your tried-and-true mild cleanser

and using an exfoliating tonic. Either way,  it is best to form exfoliation the primary or second step of your skincare routine

to make sure it preps your face for all the opposite ingredient goodies you’re close to applying.

Toner

After you’ve cleansed yourself, it is time to work out, but not with those harsh formulas you grabbed from just any place,

I will recommend everybody to always use non-alcoholic toners.

This is very importatnt step

NOTE THIS:

The best toner ingredients for oily skin are

• salicylic acid,
• witch hazel, and
• alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).

While for dry skin type go for toners with

• glycerin or
• hyaluronic acid,

This is because they can provide hydration.

For those with redness or sensitive skin, opt for toner with aloe vera or chamomile,

it’s proven they can offer some soothing relief.

The key to being successful with a facial toner is to listen to what proportion you employ.

Toners are great for preparing the skin for a serum, but if you utilize an excessive amount of it, you’ll be able to dry out the skin.

Serum

When we talk about the serum, I want you to look at serums as a special kind of treatment for your specific skin needs.

The serum helps to target any issues you may have like.

Some of these issues may be dryness, dark spots, dullness, or acne.

Naturally, they’re delivery systems for specific active ingredients and you can utilize different formulations and ingredients for different times of the day.

During the morning hours, you can reach for a serum that’s packed with antioxidants to help limit the effects of pollution.

Reaching out to a vitamin C-based serum is one of the most well-known and potent antioxidants.

Vitamin C serum has been proven to be very effective.

Whilst during the night hours I highly recommend using a serum with retinol to help the skin regenerate as you enjoy your sleep.

Evening serums help to provide skin with reparative ingredients and stimulate collagen production, Which will result to a soft, revitalized complexion when morning comes.

Treatments

For treatments, if you have any specific skin issues you want to improve with the help of your skincare routine, this is where skincare treatments come in.

The issues can range from acne to hyperpigmentation. while treatments can either be over-the-counter products or prescription skincare medication, depending on what you want to achieve.

Regardless of what you want to achieve, this step is best followed right after serums or other light, fast-absorbing skincare products, and most especially before moisturizers.

As stated earlier, there are various skin problems that must be followed with the right treatment.

For example;

Treating Pigmentation you have to  go for a hyperpigmentation scrub

Treatment for Body spots you can go for our Indian bath scrub and tomatoes soap

Moisturizer

Moisturizers just don’t help to only hydrate your skin but do a good job to seal in all the ingredient goodness that you have applied prior.

I highly recommend During the day, opt in for a lightweight lotion, and save your heavier face oil for nighttime

Using Moisturizers twice a day is also recommended. Even if you have an oily skin type or are easily broken out,

There’s a formula for you because moisturizers keep your skin barrier healthy and it’s responsible for making your face look good.

Moisturizer not only infuses your skin with hydration but also aids to trap in all the products underneath it to make the ingredients even more effective.

 SPF

the SUN PROTECTOR FACTOR ( SPF ) protects your skin and reduces the risk of developing skin cancer and skin pre-cancers.

I recommend daily use of SPF because of its importance but not recommended to use during night hours. It’s a BIG NO. It is also advisable to apply it every single morning.

SPF does a great job to prevent the skin from aging prematurely which is a result of the sun’s effect on the skin.

It also prevents wrinkles, sagging, and age spots.

Regardless of your skincare routine, make sure you’re applying the products in the right order for a better result and for your health also, never forget this.
