The best techniques for layering skincare products

Properly layering skincare products ensures that each one can perform its best without interference from the others. Here are some techniques that help maximise your routine.

Always Use Thin to Thick Consistency

As mentioned earlier, apply products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency. This helps ensure better absorption and maximises the benefits of each product.

Wait Between Layers

Allow each product to fully absorb before applying the next one. This usually takes a few minutes and ensures that each product penetrates the skin effectively.

Pat, Don't Rub

When applying products, gently pat them into your skin rather than rubbing. This technique is less irritating and helps the product absorb better, especially around delicate areas like the eyes.

Don't Overload Your Skin

Avoid applying too many products. Overloading your skin can lead to irritation and reduce the effectiveness of each product. Stick to a few well-chosen products that have been tailored to your skin type and concerns – and more importantly, ones that you know work for you.

Why It Is Important to Apply Products in the Right Order

Applying your skincare products in the correct order is crucial for several reasons:

Maximises Effectiveness

Applying products in the right order ensures that their active ingredients can penetrate the skin and work effectively.

Prevents Product Interference

Some products can interfere with each other if applied in the wrong order. For example, applying an oil-based product before a water-based product can prevent the latter from being absorbed properly.

Protects Your Skin

Using sunscreen as the last step in your morning routine is vital to help protect your skin from UV damage. If applied too early, other products can dilute its effectiveness, leaving your skin vulnerable.

Don't Overload Your Skin

Proper layering helps lock in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated and feeling nourished throughout the day and night.
