How To Layer Skincare

A Step by Step Guide to Achieve the best results 

All year round, healthy skin needs to be hydrated and nourished in order for it to look its best and perform optimally. A nutritious diet including plenty of vegetables, getting adequate restful sleep, exercising regularly; these are all key elements – but having the right skincare routine can make a significant impact too! Instead of putting your faith into every single product available on the market though, we have put together an easy-to-follow regimen tailored specifically by skin type.

Serums are a great way to add vibrancy, reduce the visibility of wrinkles, and keep blemishes at bay. With their light consistency and rapid absorption rate, serums serve as an ideal vessel for active molecules. However, this should not be your only source of moisture; use them as the foundation! Learn how to blend our favorite hardworking serums with replenishing moisturizers and sunscreens that are rich yet absorbent. The result? A perfect mixture for any skin type, leaving it dewy, plump and glowing all year round. Unlock the secret so your complexion always looks fresh!

OILY SKIN 

Those with acne-prone skin or generally more oily complexions should begin their skincare routine with a hyaluronic acid based serum for immediate replenishment without added oil. A common misconception is that those with oily skin don’t need additional hydration, and it can also feel like serums alone are moisturizing enough – but this isn’t always the case. To complete your regimen, opt for an ultra nourishing formula (with calming ingredients) and finish off your look by applying sunscreen made from minerals to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays.

DRY SKIN

When your skin needs a hefty dose of hydration, layer multiple serums according to their texture—the thinnest products should be applied first. Serums leave the skin just slightly more moisturized, so individuals with dry complexions must finish up with an ultra-rich cream and creamy mineral SPF for added protection.

SENSITIVE SKIN 

If you’re struggling with chronic redness and irritation, it’s time to nix the triggers. Start by reducing exfoliation if your complexion is especially sensitive – no need to overscrub! Make sure all of your beauty products are free from potential irritants such as fragrance and harsh chemicals. Incorporate nourishing extracts which will help reduce inflammation and restore balance for more radiant skin. Then, you should nourish your skin with a calming lotion: we love the Super Fruit Balm from 100%Pure. To finish off your routine, be sure to apply an SPF that is made purely of minerals; this is especially important if you have sensitive skin as chemical sunscreen ingredients can cause irritation and redness.
