As a rule of thumb, we typically recommend applying products in order from lightest to heaviest. For oils and serums, that usually means applying serums (which are often water-based) first. After the serum absorbs, you can apply your moisturizer, then top it off by patting a few drops of facial oil onto your skin.
Ideally as the serum penetrates deeply in your skin so its better if you use face oil after using serum. You can actually mix oils with your moisturizer and use it (to give your skin that dewy finish ) or simply use it before your moisturizer.
Order Matters: Serums are applied after cleansing and toning and before your moisturizer. If you don't use toner, then apply serum directly after cleansing. Keep It Simple: It's best to layer no more than two serums at a time. Too many layers can possibly prevent the ingredients from absorbing as effectively.
“In general, face oil should be applied as the last step in a skincare routine (after serum and/or moisturiser if they are being used), but before sunscreen and make-up in the morning, and as the last step at night.” However, when using an oil during the day, you do need to be careful about how it interferes with your ...
When to Apply Serums and Oils in Your Routine. Both serums and oils can be used morning and night and should be patted (gently) onto the face, neck, and chest. Following the rule of applying skincare from thinnest to thickest, serums should be applied after cleansing and toning but before moisturizing.
Yes. You can use hair serum after towel-drying your hair and can then add a little oil as a finisher. However, it's essential to keep oil away from the roots. On the days you don't wash your hair, you can either use a few drops of oil or serum to rehydrate your strands.
It depends on your skin type as to whether you need to use both a face oil and serum. If you have a particular skin concern then yes, we recommend using both products. This will ensure the specific problem is being addressed, while also receiving all of the benefits of face oil.
If you're wondering how to layer your skin care, start with the thinnest formulas first to give skincare products a chance to absorb into the skin. After cleansing your face, follow up with toner, water-based serums (think: hyaluronic acid and vitamin C serums) and creams (an emulsion of water and oil).
Conclusion. In summary, using the correct order of skincare is critical to maximize their efficacy and creating healthy, radiant skin. After cleansing, proceed with toning, exfoliating, applying essence, serum, eye cream, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, and applying face oil.
When it comes to serums and oils (or moisturizers), we recommend waiting about a minute between each application. 60 seconds — give or take, gives each product a little time to delve into your skin. Another product that needs a little time to itself is SPF.
Hyaluronic acid should be the first serum you apply: To lock in that hydration, hyaluronic acid serums should be the first serum you apply in your skincare routine.
“Skin oils [that your face naturally produces] are critical to maintaining the barrier and minimizing water loss, which is essential for healthy, hydrated skin—and for preventing outside chemicals and irritants from entering the skin.”
Both haircare products have different functions and qualities to offer for your hair. Hair serum is basically a hairstyling product that adds shine and protects hair from heat damage. Whereas a hair oil adds nourishment to hair, prevents dandruff, enhances hair growth, and improves overall hair quality too.
During the day, revitalize your skin by applying a daily antioxidant facial oil after your serum treatment and before your moisturizer and sunscreen . At night, apply a hydrating face oil after a face serum and before a moisturizer or overnight mask.
Both moisturizers and facial oils contain large molecules that are meant to slowly absorb, hydrating the skin's outermost layer. If you want to penetrate deeper (which can help deliver a plump, youthful complexion), we suggest applying Moisture Maker before your moisturizer and/or oil.
The conclusion is that facial oils are best used daily when they're most easily absorbed: at night. There is, however, one exception: if you have dry skin, you may benefit from adding a few drops of facial oil to your morning routine to layer under your makeup.
Two reasons why you should apply oils to damp skin
Damp skin is more receptive to oils, meaning better absorption as the oil locks in the water that's already sitting on the skin, securing hydration and moisture, the perfect combination for balanced and supple skin.
The Three Rs of Corneotherapy: Repair, Replenish, Regenerate
Consider Corneotherapy the pathway to sustainable skin health, and the pathway that will care for the skin throughout the client's lifetime.
This click-baity sounding rule suggests that you go straight into their skin care routine immediately after washing up, within 3 seconds. While this may just seem like a silly recommendation from an over zealous skin care fanatic, science tells us that moisturizing immediately after cleansing is better for your skin!
Many people make the erroneous assumption that face oil can replace moisturizer because it's so rich and emollient. But because face oil adds nourishment and seals in moisture, using it alone is like eating food without drinking water. You'll get by, but your skin won't be adequately hydrated.
Simply dab a few drops of facial oil onto your skin and smooth over your face and neck. Give it two to three minutes to absorb before following up with foundation. If you apply foundation on skin that's ultra-oily, it may slip and slide around.
