What’s your skincare routine? Whether you’re a complete newbie or you just want to understand your skincare needs more, we’ve got the perfect 7 step routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing. After all, beauty goes skin deep.
The importance of a skincare routine
Establishing a skincare routine can help you understand your skin concerns and how to treat them. As there’s a host of skincare products out there, it can be tricky to know where to start. The basics of any skincare routine? A cleanser to clean the skin, a toner to remove any impurities and a hydrating moisturiser to finish.
Why the order of your skincare routine matters
If you want your skin to soak up the full benefits of each product, start with products that penetrate the skin, such as antioxidant serums, and let any emollients, like moisturisers, sit on top. This way, you’re not compromising the efficacy of your routine and still getting the best results.
How to layer your skincare products
The general rule of thumb is to apply your products from thinnest to thickest, so the key ingredients have direct contact with the skin. Let each product sit on your skin anywhere between 30 seconds to a minute so they can get to work.
