HOW DO I LAYER MY SKINCARE?
Layering your skincare products is a very similar process between the morning and evening applications, however there are small changes for each. For example, in the morning or early day you would want to apply sunscreen. This would not be needed during the evenings.
Additionally, adding products that include retinol should be done during the evening as contact with the sun can negate the benefits of the retinol. These products are best used before you climb into bed for the night as they can be working their magic while you sleep.
Morning Routine
- Exfoliate and Cleanse
While you sleep, dead skin cells and other impurities can build up on the surface of your skin and in your pores. Using a cleanser such as the ILUMA Intense Brightening Exfoliating Cleanser is an excellent first step to give yourself a clean canvas to work with. - Press In Your Favorite Toner
Toner is almost like a second cleanser and can help remove any impurities you missed in the first step. After adding toner, consider adding any hydrating essences you may have now as well. - Slather on a Concentrated Serum
Serums are easily absorbed into the skin and are a great way to deliver targeted nutrients where you need them most. If you suffer from dry skin, consider using the VITAL C Hydrating Anti-Aging serum to restore intense levels of moisture to your skin. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is also amazing in tandem with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This is also the right time to apply some eye cream. - Dab on Facial Creams
To finish off your routine and lock in all the hydration and nutrients, now is the perfect time to add any facial creams you may have. This can include eye creams or SPF moisturizers such as Prevention+ Daily Hydrating Moisturizer with SPF 30 protection.
