The correct way to apply skin care products

Nov. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- We always take care of what skin care products we should use but ignored the point—what is the correct way to use those products. However, if don’t know which is the right way to apply them, you are wasting your time and money. With correct way to apply skin care products, you can get the most benefit from them and help you get a glowing skin easily.

Soak it up.

After you cleanse in the morning, apply products with therapeutic ingredients—lighteners that contain hydroquinone or kojic acid, anti-aging serums with peptides, and eye products, all of which work best in direct contact with skin. If you’re trying to target several problems like fine lines, consider buying one multifunctional product.

Seal the deal.

Then you should moisturize you skin. Some women rub on makeup primer or sunless tanners as their daytime cream to save a step, but you’d better make sure your formula contains sunscreen. Apply any products with aluminizing particles, such as eye brighteners, last, since they need to refract light to work properly.

Save for later.

Patients exfoliate at night. Afterward, you can put on your night serums followed by a p.m. moisturizer, but try not to irritate the skin by layering on too much of the same ingredient. For example, if you use a glycolic-acid peel, don’t also use a glycolic-based cream or you might end up with redness and flaking.

Watch for interactions.

Certain ingredients have specific restrictions. For example, lighteners like hydroquinone can be very drying, so they need to be followed with a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen to prevent further damage. And some prescription acne treatments shouldn’t have anything applied on top of them, so use them at night and always follow the directions.

Of course, the right procedure to apply different skin products day is also important.

- Cleanser
