What is a proper skincare sequence?
Your skin thrives most when you use a cleanser, toner, serum and an appropriate cream. To achieve the best results, you want to follow a specific order. For example, a toner that prepares your skin for a serum or cream is less effective if you apply it to the face last. So we go over each step of the proper skincare routine with you.
Step 1: cleanser (Cleanser)
Start and end your day by cleansing your face to remove dirt, oil and impurities. For those with sensitive or dry skin, a moisturizing cleanser is ideal, while a cleanser with salicylic acid can help with oil-rich or acne-prone skin. Cleansing allows subsequent products to work more effectively by providing a clean base.
Step 2: toner
After cleansing, a toner helps restore your skin's pH balance, refine pores and prepare the skin for serums and moisturizers. Choose a toner based on your skin type: hydrating toners for dry skin, and exfoliating toners for oil-rich or acne-prone skin.
Step 3: exfoliant or peel
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture and stimulates cell renewal. It is best to do this 1-3 times a week, depending on your skin type and the exfoliant you choose. Chemical exfoliants such as AHAs (for dry skin) or BHAs (for oil-rich and acne-prone skin) are effective options.
Step 4: serum
Serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin problems such as aging, pigmentation, or dry skin. They contain active ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin. For daytime, you can choose an antioxidant serum with Vitamin C, while for nighttime, retinol or hyaluronic acid serums can help with skin rejuvenation and hydration.
Step 5: eye cream
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, so it requires special attention in your skincare routine. An eye cream can help reduce dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. Gently pat the cream in with your finger until it is absorbed into the skin.
Step 6: moisturizer
Hydration is important for all skin types, even oil-rich skin. A moisturizer helps to strengthen your skin barrier, keep moisture in the skin and make it supple and smooth. Choose a lighter lotion or gel for day and a richer cream for night.
Step 7. SPF (for morning routine).
Greasing the skin is not only important during the summer and on vacation. In fact, we recommend oiling your face every day. Daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF helps protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, premature aging and reduce the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, apply your sunscreen as the last step of your morning routine, after your moisturizer but before you apply your makeup.
