What is the correct skincare order?
Curious about the correct skincare order? A good skin care routine includes products that work together effectively. Only in this way can you achieve beautiful, healthy and shiny skin. Almaaz tells you which steps you should definitely not skip in your skincare routine.
Cleaning
The first step of an effective skincare routine is cleansing your face. A mild facial cleanser , such as a cleansing foam, ensures that you remove dirt and excess sebum from your face. This way you optimally prepare your skin for the next steps in your skincare routine.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is a very important step in your skincare routine. An exfoliant removes dead skin cells and therefore products that you subsequently use on your skin are better absorbed. It is best to choose a BHA or AHA exfoliant. If you have normal to dry skin, an AHA exfoliant is most suitable. If you have oily or combination skin, it is best to choose a BHA exfoliant.
Toner
With a toner you bring your skin more into balance after you have applied the exfoliant. It also peps up the skin for the next step, because a toner makes your skin more moist. This will ensure that the following products from your skincare routine are better absorbed.
Serum
After applying the toner, apply a serum. For example, consider a vitamin C serum. It is very important that you wait a while before applying the next product, so that the serum can be properly absorbed into your skin.
A smoothing day cream
The penultimate step in your skincare routine is applying a smoothing day cream. For the best effect, choose a day cream that is suitable for your skin type. Do you have normal to dry skin? Then go for a cream that really nourishes your skin. If you have oily or combination skin, it is best to choose a cream with a slightly liquid structure or gel structure.
Last step skincare sequence: SPF
And our last tip: never leave the house without SPF! By taking care of your skin with a good SPF of at least factor 50, you prevent pigment spots or signs of premature skin aging. You can also minimize the risk of skin cancer. It is therefore very important to protect your skin against sun damage every day. Sun or no sun, a cream with SPF is the last step in your skincare sequence.
