The sequence to use skin care products

In addition to find the right skin care products for yourself, you must also have a correct order of using products and establish your skin care order!

Did you know that the order in which you apply your skincare products can have a significant impact on how effective they are? Some products should be applied first; others should be applied last. Different types of products have different synergistic effects and should be used correctly to achieve the best results.

Day Care

1. Cleansing

First of all, daily care starts with cleansing. Cleansing can remove excess dirt and oil from the face, clean the skin and prevent the accumulation of aging cuticles, and start your day with clean and fresh skin. If the skin is not cleaned properly, the dirt in the pores will hinder the penetration of products, so that your skin cannot absorb them properly, and skin care products will not be able to play their role.

Evening:

If you use cosmetics, high or waterproof sunscreen products, you need to use makeup remover to cleanse. If your cleansing products cannot remove makeup, then makeup removal is the first step of your night care and should be used before cleansing products. Whether you like to remove makeup and cleanse at the same time in one step, or like separate cleansing procedures, it is fine. However, we do not recommend excessive cleansing of the skin three times, which will increase the chance of skin sensitivity. All GM Collin's cleansing products can be used in double cleansing procedures.

2 – Toning

Step 2 – Toning, this step is often underestimated. It is the first step after cleansing and is a basic step in the skincare routine. It can provide the skin with optimal hydration and prepare your pores so that the products can be absorbed faster and better, so that the products used can play the best role. Imagine that the skin is like a dry sponge. If you apply cream to a dry, brittle sponge, it will not be absorbed; however, if you moisturize the sponge, the cream will penetrate more easily . Of course, you should make sure that the lotion you use not only hydrates, but also solves your skin problems.

3 – Essence

Once you’ve prepped your skin, it’s time to treat it. We always recommend starting with an oil or serum. We recommend using the lightest product first and then working your way up to the thickest. This way you avoid having to apply multiple times during your skincare routine and creating unwanted texture. If you’re using GM Collins products, Hyaluronic Acid HD Primer Filler is the first serum step after toning.

night:

At night, you can use stronger or more efficient formula products, such as medical skin rejuvenation essence, Vit A night new skin cream, whitening and spot-removing products, which are all good choices for night care and provide efficient care for the skin.

4. Moisturizing Cream

Moisturizer should be applied after your serum to lock in the benefits of the previously applied product and provide your skin with optimal hydration. Moisturizers can be creams, gels, or anything in between, depending on your skin type.

night:

Your nighttime moisturizer could use a richer texture to give your skin a major boost of moisture and nutrients while you sleep.

5 – Eye Cream

Next, use eye care. The skin around the eyes requires very special care, as it is more fragile and more susceptible to external stress. It is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of the face. It has fewer sebaceous glands and is therefore more susceptible to dehydration or other skin problems.

6. Sun protection

Sun protection is the last step of day care. Never underestimate the last step: sun protection. We often emphasize the need to apply sunscreen. 90% of premature skin aging is caused by ultraviolet rays, so this step should never be ignored. Even in winter, you should use sunscreen every day.

Repeat application

During the day, some products can rehydrate the skin and ensure it receives maximum protection.

SPF : It is highly recommended to reapply SPF every 2 hours , whether we are indoors or outdoors, to keep our skin healthy and delay premature aging. However, windows do not protect us from harmful UV rays.

Lotion: Replenish your skin with lotion during the day to leave it feeling refreshed and hydrated.

Weekly maintenance

We recommend incorporating both steps into your skincare regimen and using them 1 to 3 times per week.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation requires makeup removal and cleansing, followed by toning. Exfoliation is an important part of home care because it reduces clogged pores and old keratin cells, allowing your skin to better absorb the serums and creams that follow. We recommend doing this step one to four times a week, depending on the type of exfoliant you use, and avoid using it too often as it can cause excessive irritation to the skin.

Facial mask

Masks should be used after toning and before serum. Masks are an indispensable part of the skin, providing active ingredients for all skin types and conditions, and the results can be seen in just 15 minutes. It is also a good choice to use masks with different functions on different parts of the body to solve different skin problems at the same time.

You are done. You now have the correct order for your skin care routine. If it seems like a lot of steps, here is a summary to help you remember the order:
