Sometimes skincare products just don’t work as effectively as you hoped they would. Thankfully, you can get the most out of your products with these tips. These tips will help you to understand your skincare products better and help them work efficiently with your skin.
Dry Cleansing
Instead of splashing your face with some water before applying cleanser, try applying your cleanser directly onto your face without any water. Then, massage the cleanser into your skin. This will allow your cleanser to clean your skin properly and lift any makeup residue from your face. Then, apply some water and wash off the cleanser from your face. You want to do this method only with gentle cleansers as they won’t be too harsh on your skin. If you have dry skin, choose a cleanser that will moisturize your skin while cleansing it
Pat Your Skin Dry with Your Hands
Instead of using a towel to dry your face, let it air dry with some help of your hands. Use your palms to tap your face. Leaving your face damp before applying other skincare products will help your skincare products to absorb into the skin easier. Towels can contaminate your skin with germs and bacteria, and this method offers a great way to avoid them altogether.
Apply Your Toner on the Damp Skin
Your toner will absorb better if your skin is damp. This especially works great for toners with hyaluronic acids as they will be able to inject more moisture into your skin. This is a great way to achieve plump and moisturized skin. This method will also help active ingredients to penetrate deeper into your skin. Ensure you apply moisturizer at the end of your skincare routine to trap the moisture into your skin.
Wait In Between Your Products
You want to give your skin some time to absorb the product before moving on to the next one. This will result in your skin having absorbing active ingredients more efficiently, and you will get more out of your products.
Chemical Exfoliants
You want to take a slower and more mindful approach to chemical exfoliants. You don’t want to use chemical exfoliants too often. Be gentle to your skin. If you are just starting with chemical exfoliants, don’t use them more than once per week.
