In what order do I apply my skincare products?
Toner, serum, cream…trying to figure out the right order to apply your skincare products can be a little overwhelming (particularly for those of us who may not know the difference between a serum and a toner).
Although we’d like to be able to say it doesn’t matter, the order that you apply your skincare products absolutely does matter! Why? Because if you don’t use your products in the right order they don’t absorb correctly and, in some cases, could irritate your skin.
Here we’ll demystify the age-old question, “In what order do I apply my skincare products?”
Cleanser - For any of your products to absorb correctly, you will first need to wash away make-up, oil, and any other impurities from the skin. Not sure what cleanser is best for you? Here are some of our recommendations:
Brightening Vitamin C Face Cleanser - Brightening Vitamin C and natural ingredients wash away impurities & infuse skin with a healthy radiance.
Firming Rose Face Cleanser - Infused with Rose, this firming cleanser nourishes as it washes away impurities for younger looking skin.
Nourishing Hemp Face Cleanser - Nourishing Hemp gently washes away dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping essential moisture.
Purifying Tea Tree Face Cleanser - Washes away pore-clogging impurities such as makeup, dirt, and oil as Tea Tree helps purify blemish-prone skin.
2. Toner - Toners are an optional step that should be done after cleansing your skin. They are meant to prime your face to better absorb skincare ingredients later on.
3. Serum - If you’re looking to up your skincare game, a good serum is a must! Serums are full of extremely concentrated nutrients, antioxidants, and hydrators that improve your skin health right away. Not sure what serum is for you? Here are our recommendations:
Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Face Serum - Anti-aging powerhouse Retinol helps to tighten and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Firming Collagen Face Serum - Our Collagen Complex works to firm, smooth, and diminish the appearance of fine lines for youthful looking skin.
4. Eye Treatment - Before slathering on creams and oils, apply your eye treatments first. This is because eye creams and serums tend to be lighter and thinner than face moisturizers. Not sure what eye treatment to try? We recommend Arganatural Brightening Vitamin C Eye Serum to brighten, illuminate, and hydrate.
5. Moisturizer - No matter what type of skin you have (dry, combination, or oily) you need to be using a moisturizer day and night. Moisturizers not only hydrate your skin but help seal in all the products underneath them to make your skincare more effective. Not sure what moisturizers are right for you? Here are our recommendations for A.M.:
Brightening Vitamin C Face Cream - Contains brightening Vitamin C with a blend of nourishing botanicals to help improve the look of uneven skin tone.
Anti-wrinkle Retinol Day Cream - Retinol promotes suppleness and elasticity with moisturizing ingredients to minimize the look of lines and wrinkles.
Firming Collagen Day Cream - Collagen helps promote elasticity for firmer, plumper looking skin as moisture-rich botanicals restore essential hydration.
For P.M. we recommend Arganatural Repairing Rose Night Cream to help minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles and repair the visible signs of aging overnight.
Beauty Oil - Since oils don’t actually moisturize your skin that well on their own, we recommend you layer them over products for effectiveness. By doing this, they leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and increase the efficacy of your skincare routine. Not sure which beauty oil is right for you? Here are our recommendations:
Brightening Vitamin C Beauty Oil - Instantly illuminates the skin while addressing uneven skin tone at its source for a youthful glow.
Repairing Rose Beauty Oil - Rose helps to smooth and soften the look of wrinkles to help repair the visible signs of aging.
Nourishing Hemp Beauty Oil - Intensely nourishes skin with hydrating Hemp and skin-loving botanicals for a smooth, moisturized complexion.
Purifying Tea Tree Beauty Oil - Tea Tree helps clarify, balance, and detoxify blemish-prone complexions with non-greasy hydration.
