There are various types of
basic skincare products, including toner, toner pads, lotion (emulsion),
essence (serum), cream, eye cream, moisturizing cream, firming cream, cleansing
foam, and sunscreen.
Order of Applying Skincare
Products:
l Toner Pads, Peeling Pads, Exfoliating Pads
Apply right after cleansing while the skin is still moist to help even out the
skin tone. Use sparingly (about once a week) to avoid irritation.
l Toner and Skin
Both serve as boosters to refine skin texture. Use one, not both, as they come
from the same product line. A cotton pad can help hydrate and freshen the skin.
l Essence, Ampoule, Serum
These are concentrated with nutrients. Apply them after toner. Ampoule is the
thickest, followed by serum, then essence.
l Lotion and Emulsion
Lighter than creams, these products help balance moisture and oil. Apply after
serum for hydration.
l Eye Cream
Apply before creams. Avoid using serums around the eyes as they can hinder
absorption. Use sparingly around the eyes and neck to prevent irritation.
l Moisturizing, Nourishing, and Night Creams
Apply creams last to lock in moisture and enhance the effects of previous
products.
l Sunscreen
Apply as the last step during the day and remove at night. It helps prevent UV
damage but should be applied after lighter products to avoid blocking
absorption.
Skincare Tips:
- Use products sparingly to avoid clogging pores and
skin issues.
- Even gentle products may contain harsh chemicals, so
check ingredient labels to prevent skin irritation(Ruby's Various Daily
Life, September 17, 2024).
