How to apply layers of skincare products

Most of use more than one skincare serum and a common question is "In what order we  apply them?"

We do use specific products in morning vs evening. For example, vitamin C is for day use, unless its a blend. Vitamin C is excellent in preventing free radical damage by providing a thin layer of protection on the skin against environmental pollution. Retin A is recommended for night use, because it breaks down in the sunlight.

 If a product label specifies when or how to use, make sure to follow those instructions. Otherwise, products are recommended to be applied thinnest to thickest.

Some products work together and should be applied together, for example, Hyaluronic Acid should always be applied before moisturizer to aid in bonding the moisturizer to the skin. 

If you are uncertain of the sequence of application? Ask your skincare therapist to write down steps of protocols.
