Should You Layer Skin Care Products? What to Know

By



Your skin care regimen is more than just a part of your daily routine; it’s an opportunity to practice self-care, celebrate your inherent beauty, and visibly rejuvenate your skin. While high-performance, luxurious products are the foundation of any dream skin care regimen, applying them in the right order can make a difference.

Plus, layering products properly can benefit anyone. If you love exploring science-backed skin care and innovative ingredients, understanding how to layer your products correctly can help you get the most out of your routine. If you prefer to keep your wellness regimen simple, layering a few key products can help you create a streamlined system. Here’s what to know about properly applying skin care products. 

Layer From Lightest to Heaviest

When layering skin care products, the general rule of thumb is to start with products that have a lighter consistency, such as serums, and work your way up to thicker products, like eye creams and moisturizers. This helps lighter products absorb into your skin, and allows thicker, hydrating products to lock in moisture. Versatile products, such as a lightweight, water-based hydrating cream that can be used on its own or on top of serums, are great additions to a simple, efficacy-driven skin care regimen.

While this rule is a good guideline, there is plenty of variation in skin care products. Shopping with reliable skin care brands and following the instructions for your favorite products can help you apply them in the perfect order.

 Pause Between Products

A rejuvenating skin care routine can be a moment for self-care. Taking your time applying products will not only help your treatments, serums, and creams absorb, but can also help you slow down and enjoy your radiance-boosting regimen. Waiting three to five minutes between products can help your skin absorb active ingredients and prevent products from diluting each other.

Fine Line Eye Serum

To make it easy to pause between steps, choose products that provide a refreshing experience and visible results, such as an Icelandic water-infused fine line eye serum with a stainless steel rollerball applicator. Products that offer a cooling, invigorating experience can help you reach your skin care goals and give you a luxurious experience worth savoring.

Stay True to a Trusted Brand

The goal of any skin care routine is to achieve visible results, which is why choosing products that work synergistically is key. One of the easiest ways to make sure you’re layering your skin care properly is to stick with a trusted, science-backed brand that crafts products designed to work together.

Your favorite brand might offer a weekly hydrogel mask designed to boost the absorption of your favorite serums. Or, you might elevate your daily routine by finding a hyaluronic acid-infused cream that complements your daily serum. However you choose to enrich your routine, staying true to a reliable brand can help you get the most out of your products and layer them properly.
