The Right Order To Layering Your Skincare Products

 



it enough to just get the best products? Why is there so much fuss about the right order to layering your skincare products?


 First off, let’s just say you’re not the only one curious about these new skincare rules. There’s so much emphasis on skincare layering for a good reason so stick around to find out why.  


Why Is Skincare Layering So Important?

To get the best results from your favorite skincare products, you absolutely need to apply them in the right order.


1. The Wrong Order Will Make Some Products Less Potent

To put it simply, skincare products are made up of many different ingredients and textures that work best when used in certain ways. You will find that applying a product before or after another will determine how well either of them works.


2. Your Skin Needs All The Moisture It Can Get

Applying your skincare products the wrong way can deprive your skin of the right amount of moisture it needs. In the mornings especially, your skin needs to be moisturized and that moisture needs to be locked in.


3. Your Skin Might Get Even Worse

When you fail to apply your skincare products in the right order, even if you’re trying to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, or you just want to maintain it, it can get worse. The right order allows your skin to breathe and stay protected from atmospheric particles and even sunlight.


What Is The Right Order For Applying Skincare?

The basic thing you need to know about layering your skincare products is that the texture, ingredients, and skin type matter. Also bear in mind that before you even start applying these products, you’ve cleansed your face preferably with a hydrating cleanser.


1. The Watery Product Always Comes First

The first product that should go on your skin should be light and obviously moisturizing. This allows the other products that you layer on top to absorb better. The product that comes to mind is a toner because most toners are watery but if you have a serum or essence that is lighter in texture then use it first.


For oily skin, it’s best to soak the cotton pad with the toner and wipe your skin. Also bear in mind that AHA toners are better than toners with alcohol. If you have dry skin, you want to absorb as much moisture as possible which would leave your face feeling hydrated. Pour the product into your palm and apply it all over your skin.


2. Exfoliate

In a case where you feel like your pores are clogged with dead skin cells, especially after a long day, you’ll need to exfoliate first. Doing this would open your pores and allow them to absorb the products best. It’s also best if you use your hand to apply the toner or serum in this case.


3. Thicker Products Come Behind

Just like we mentioned earlier, your skincare layering should start with the wateriest product after which you start applying products with a thicker consistency. Following this  rule allows the products to get absorbed into your skin, allowing them to work effectively.


4. Lock In All That Moisture

The last step in your skincare would be to use oil to lock in all the moisture. It’s almost pointless to do all that great stuff and not use oil. The oil prevents these skincare products from evaporating and exposing your skin.


5. Sunscreen Can’t Be Left Out

If you’re fond of leaving out your sunscreen during your morning skincare routine, please stop! Sunscreen should be the second to last product that goes on your skin and then an oil.


An extra tip would be to take breaks before you apply the next product because it allows your skincare to be more effective especially if they have different pH levels. Applying your skincare products the wrong way is as good as wasting perfectly good products because you won’t get the best out of them. Give these tips a try and you’ll be glad you did!

"Any Office Holder Coming Into Office To Loot Money is Mad" - VP Osinbajo

Vice President President Yemi Osinbajo says that it is madness for people in positions like President Buhari and himself to come into office and look for money to loot. A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
