The right order to apply cosmetics, cream cleaning

Taking care of your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated is one of the keys to delaying aging.If you also dedicate a daily, constant and responsible beauty routine, the results will leave you hallucinated.Because the best asset of any beauty product is constancy.That has been demonstrated by experts and also over the years.And, in addition to what time and pampering, we have discovered that the order of application of the products does matter.

It is something that is spoken in all the bibles of cosmetics, for example in which Lilin Yang wrote, 'Korean art of skin care'.The founder of Miin Cosmetics insists that, when applying a product, we must take into account its function and its texture and place it in the order it plays in the beauty routine.

Dedicating time to skin care is one of those little pleasures to which we steal time daily.Buying creams with which we dream and recommend us everywhere add more magic to the moment, but, then and irremediably, we have a thousand doubts about the routines that we must follow.And, although we give you a thousand data all day, we have realized that we do not remind you of the basics: how does it apply what?And when?

The amount of information we usually have always leads us to a basic doubt: does the order of factors really alter the result?What to put before, cream or eye contour?Or why does the serum always go the first?Altering the correct order of the products does not have to assume a risk for the skin, but it can influence the effectiveness of the ingredients we use.So point well

First step: cleaning

The first step, tomorrow and night, is always the same: clean the skin.When we wake up, to help you eliminate waste, our skin has been segregating in its night repair process, and when we lay us to remove makeup, pollution and dirt that has accumulated with the passage of hours.This step also serves to prepare the complexion for everything we are going to put next and improve your penetration, so we will take better advantage of the last drop of cream we use.

With the idea of eliminating any trace of dirt but without damaging the skin, in South Korea the cleaning in two steps began to gain popularity.The technique is simple and takes much longer than a hygiene to use.First an oily cleaner (balms, oils, biphasic cleaners) is used to remove makeup remains, especially if waterproof formulas are used.Then, and after rinseing the face, the time of the aqueous base cleaner, gel type, soap or foam comes.Its purpose is to clean the skin once the oily base cleaner has removed makeup, cream and photoprotective remains.

Second step: exfoliation

In the words of Sandra Burgos, director of formation of Clinique, “its main objective isIt slows down. ”The ideal is to refine the texture, soften the fine lines that appear by a weak hydration (which allows to show the most radiant face by better reflecting light) and helping to optimize the effect of makeup.

Physical cleaners, those who have some somewhat harder particles to discourage dirt and dead cells, can be very aggressive are used daily and end up sensitizing the skin, so chemical cleaners, peeling type, with Aha (alphahydroxyacids) or bha (betahydroxyacids) are a good option.If you do not feel too comfortable with the exfoliation, you can always do on alternate days or a couple of times a week.

Third step: tonic

Applying the moisturizing product before stabilizing the pH of the skin makes no sense.So do not jump one of the fundamental steps for your skin to look healthy.After this we would apply the essence or lotiCho of Koss Cosmetics.

Fourth step: the serum

The first thing to put is the serum.The reason is that their formulas have a much higher concentration of assets than creams and are lighter.This makes them able to reach deeper layers that could not reach if they 'stumbled' with a densest texture, such as creams.It is the step in which you can include the most powerful assets and specific care for your skin.

Fifth step: eye and lips contour

Behind them go the eye and lips contour.The skin of these areas is subject to movements much more frequent than those of the rest of the face and, as if that were not enough, it is thinner, especially in the case of the eyelids.Thus, in addition, we can take the opportunity to apply a slight massage that decongests and relaxes the area.Another reason to extend them before the cream is that this should not be put in these areas precisely because they are denser and, sometimes, by carrying assets that can cause an irritation.

Seventh and last step: treatment cream

The end point is the treatment cream, both the day and the night.The last ones must go for another added factor: they create a protective barrier that prevents dehydration and, in addition to their specific action (anti -tanks, antiacné, etc.), stop processes such as cellular oxidation.In the case of day treatment, better with SPF, to guarantee added care against photoenons.If not, you have to complement it with a sunscreen every day of the year.

Sun protection and a last advice

Not only is it important to apply products in the right order, but also apply a sunscreen after all of them.Between each one lets pass a few seconds: with half a minute it is enough.In this way we ensure that assets penetrate the skin and guarantee their effectiveness.In addition, we avoid saturating the complexion and reduce the possible risk of an acne outbreak or form fat balls in critical areas such as the eye contour.
