The sequence of using skin products matters because that will ensure product delivery into the skin. For example, if we apply lighter serums after heavier moisturizers, they might not get absorbed into the skin and won’t give the desired results. A basic skin routine for everybody (even a minimalist) is a face cleanser (according to skin type), a moisturizer and sunscreen.
1. One should apply lighter products before the heavier products. 2. One should cleanse the face first to remove any oil, dirt, grime or make-up. 3. This should be followed by any light serum (containing Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid) which is powered with antioxidants, nutrients for the skin and makes the skin supple.
There is no thumb rule with regards to the wait time. The idea is to let the product totally blend in the skin before moving on to the next layer. Usually when the skin feels dry after the application of a product, one can go for the next step.
Use the products on the face and neck both, for uniform skin tone and texture.
– One should not use Vitamin C with Retinol – Vitamin C shouldn’t be used with Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids – Retinol or Retinoids shouldn’t be used with AHA and BHA to prevent dryness
