Introduction
Having healthy, radiant and young skin is the dream of many people. However, the quality of the skin can be affected if the order of face creams is not applied correctly. In this article, I will explain the importance of following a precise order when applying beauty products and how to enhance their effectiveness and the penetration of the active ingredients.
Know your skin type
Before starting any beauty routine, it is essential to understand your skin’s needs. Is it oily, dry, sensitive or acne-prone? Do you have pigmented spots or acne scars? Knowing your skin type will help you select the right products for you.
The correct order of application
Respecting the proper order when applying creams to your face is crucial to obtain the best results. Below, I present the recommended order:
1. Facial cleanser
The first step is to use a facial cleanser to remove dust and impurities accumulated on the skin. This will help prevent clogged pores and the appearance of blemishes such as acne. You can choose from different textures of facial cleansers, such as milk, foam, oil or balm, depending on your skin needs.
2. Tonic
After cleansing your skin, apply a toner to restore pH balance and remove any last traces of makeup, dirt, or perspiration. The toner will prepare your skin for the next steps of your beauty routine and help the products absorb better.
3. Serum
The serum is a concentrated product with specific active ingredients to treat skin problems, such as wrinkles, blackheads, spots or lack of luminosity. Due to its light texture, it is recommended to apply it before moisturizing cream so that the skin absorbs it quickly. Serums usually contain more powerful and concentrated ingredients, so it is important to apply them to clean skin for effective results.
4. Moisturizing cream
After applying the serum, it’s time for the moisturizer. This cream will help fix the active ingredients of the serum and strengthen the skin barrier. In addition, it will deeply hydrate the skin and protect it from external aggressions. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type, whether oily, dry or sensitive.
5. Protector solar
The last but not least step is to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen. Even if you don’t go outdoors, it’s essential to protect your skin from the sun’s rays and damage caused by screens. Choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type and apply it daily to prevent premature aging, spots and other serious skin problems.
Conclusion
In summary, following a precise order when applying creams to the face is essential to enhance the effectiveness of the products and improve the quality of the skin. Remember to know your skin type, use a facial cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen in the correct order. Take care of your skin and enjoy an effective beauty routine!
