Do you have all the right products for your skin but aren’t sure about the correct application order? At Allure Laser, Skin, and Aesthetic Medicine Centre, we’re here to help you maximize the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
An effective routine not only matches your skin type but also follows the correct application order to ensure the best results. Did you know applying moisturizer before serum can reduce the serum’s effectiveness? Or that sunscreen should be your final skincare step before makeup? Let’s walk you through the proper skincare routine, step by step.
Step 1: Cleansing
Cleansing is the foundation of any good skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and impurities, leaving your skin ready for the next steps.
Continuous exposure to pollutants and external factors can dull your complexion, clog pores, and accelerate aging. Using the right cleanser for your skin type helps maintain your skin’s natural pH balance and provides protection.
Recommended Products:
- Mesoestetic Purifying Mousse Cleanser: Ideal for combination to oily skin, this cleanser removes impurities and balances oil levels.
Step 2: Exfoliation
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and smoothens your skin’s texture. Both physical and chemical exfoliants can help refine your complexion.
Exfoliate 1-3 times per week, depending on your skin’s tolerance, to achieve a radiant glow and prevent dullness or breakouts.
Recommended Products:
- Blemiderm Resurfacing Gel: Perfect for acne-prone or oily skin, it uses glycolic and salicylic acids to renew skin texture.
Step 3: Mask
A mask provides concentrated benefits, targeting specific concerns like dryness, dullness, or sensitivity. Use a mask 1-2 times a week to boost your routine.
Pro Tip: Use a rinse-off mask before applying toner, or a leave-on mask overnight for maximum hydration.
Recommended Products:
- Hydravital Mask: Provides deep hydration for dry skin.
- Pure Renewing Mask: A clay-based mask for oily skin, exfoliating and refining pores.
Step 4: Toner
Toners replenish your skin with hydration and prep it for better absorption of serums and creams. They also help restore your skin’s natural pH balance after cleansing.
Recommended Products:
- Hidratonic Mist: A refreshing mist that hydrates and protects your skin from pollutants.
Step 5: Serum or Concentrate
Serums and concentrates are formulated with potent active ingredients to target specific concerns like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or dullness.
Recommended Products:
- Age Element® Brightening Complex Plus: Targets uneven skin tone and boosts radiance.
- Age Element® Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles while firming the skin.
Step 6: Eye Contour
The skin around your eyes is delicate and requires specialized care to address puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
Recommended Products:
- Age Element® Anti-Wrinkle Eye Contour: Smooths wrinkles and enhances firmness.
- Age Element® Brightening Eye Contour: Brightens dark circles for a more refreshed look.
Step 7: Moisturizing Cream
Moisturizers lock in hydration and support your skin’s natural barrier against environmental stressors. Choose one based on your specific skin concerns.
Recommended Products:
- Age Element® Anti-Wrinkle Cream: Hydrates and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
- Age Element® Firming Routine: A complete kit designed to firm and tighten sagging skin.
Step 8: Sun Protection
Sunscreen is non-negotiable! It protects your skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Apply daily, even when indoors, and reapply every two hours if outdoors.
Recommended Products:
- Mesoprotech® Melan 130 Pigment Control: Offers high sun protection with a touch of color for a fresh-faced glow.
- Mesoprotech® Light Water Antiaging Veil: Lightweight, hydrating sunscreen ideal for all skin types.
Step 9: Makeup
If you choose to wear makeup, apply it after completing your skincare routine. Look for makeup products that offer additional skin benefits, like tinted sunscreens or mineral-based foundations.
