If you’re anything like us, your skincare collection continues to grow, and it just may leave you wondering how to use everything! Now that you have gone through the Custom Skin Quiz and committed to a regimen, you might be unsure what is the best order to apply your products in. Applying your products in the correct order, and at the correct time of day is crucial to getting the most out of its formulas and benefits. In addition, the amount of product you use can be just as important. This skincare guide is here to help you through your skincare journey!
Let's start with the basics. Here are the steps of what a typical regimen will look like this:
Step 1: CLEANSE
Daily facial cleansing is essential, morning and evening, to remove any last traces of dirt, excess oil and pollution off the face.
Step 2: EXFOLIATE
It’s important to exfoliate skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores.
Step 3: TONE
Tone to remove any excess oil while also balancing and calming skin, morning and evening.
Step 4: TARGET
Manage or target specific skin concerns by incorporating serums into your regimen. The order of products is dependent on the texture of the serum — apply the lightest serums first and end with the heaviest. Be sure to allow each product to absorb completely before moving on to the next. Skin needs will change with weather, season and diet. It’s important to customize what serums you use based on your skin needs at the moment.
Step 5: TREAT
Like serums, treatments help to target manage or target specific skin concerns but are usually a bit thicker in texture. They usually will feel like a very heavy serum or extremely light cream. Be sure to allow each product to absorb completely before moving on to the next.
Step 6: EYE CREAM
The eye area is the most delicate of skin, so its important to use an eye cream in order to help prevent and fight the signs of aging.
Step 7: PROTECT
Keep an even complexion and fight the risk of sun damage by protecting skin every day.
Step 8: MOISTURIZE
Moisturizing morning and evening is imperative in keeping balanced, hydrated skin. It also protects your skin from becoming too oily or too dry which can bring on other unwanted skin issues.
You may be looking at your products wondering how many times a day you should use them. Putting on your skincare products seems like a no brainer, but you’d be surprised by how important applying the right product at the right time can be. It's recommended that you have an AM and PM regimen especially because not all products are meant to be used both day and night. You can use these as a quick reference.
