Let's go through the basics
-
CleanseAny non-foaming cleanser is fine - milk, balm, gel - as long as it doesn't turn your face into a foam bath.
-
ExfoliateRather than harsh scrubs (which are thankfully going out of fashion), acids are about taking off the layer of dead skin cells and, depending on the type of acid, stimulating the skin.
-
Eye ProductDo not apply your eye product last. No matter how carefully you apply your serums and moisturisers, you will always get some in the eye area, and then your eye product won't be absorbed where you want it to be. Pointless.
-
Serums/OilsSerums - especially water-based ones - go on first. Next, a couple of drops of facial oil (if you are using one), topped off with your moistuiser.
-
SPFI always recommend using a walnut-sized dollop of a separate SPF. A moisturiser with added SPF will not benefit the skin as much as two separate products will. Also make sure you apply it everywhere, including the back of your neck and the top of your ears.
