Have you ever wondered if you were applying your skin care regime in the right order? Here is an easy way to know what comes first and last and everything in between. Think in terms of thinnest to thickest when applying products.
1) Cleansing always come first.
2) Tone second as it compliments the cleansing process and actually helps your serums and moisturizers perform more effectively.
3) The next step for either day or night would be a serum (if you have one), if you don't we recommend one because it penetrates the skin with vital nutrients. Vitamin C serum is wonderful because it is one of the best antioxidants to fight free radical damage. Serums should be used before your day or night cream.
4) Day cream for day, with or without SPF, night cream for night. The thicker creams provide a protective barrier and help to seal in the nutrients and hydration provided from your previous few steps.
Remember your daytime routine should provide protection from both UVA/UVB damage as well as free radical damage. Your nighttime routine is meant to feed and nourish the skin.
Don't forget that your make-up can be an additional treatment for the skin, especially some of the new mineral make ups which also provide some UVA/UVB protective properties.
Feel free to ask Amanda should you have questions or concerns regarding any skin care issues.
