Mastering the Art of Layering: The Correct Order to Apply Skincare for Glowing Results

Skincare lovers who are new to their routine or looking to become more expert are often facing situations like this. Where they stand in front of the bathroom mirror, and question themselves, "Should the serum be applied before or after the eye cream?"

It is really quite a common question. It doesn't matter if you have the most luxurious vegan skin care serum; using it in the wrong applying order may significantly minimize  the active ingredients from working. Skincare is like science, and the sequence of your routine is the one that determines the absorption rate of the nutrient that your skin receives.

Florencia Beauty considers your skincare ritual as a self-care, mindless and momentous instance that brings noticeable effects. The guide concerning the proper order of applying skincare products for a youthful, glowing complexion is the one we provide you so that you can reap the maximum benefits from your regimen.

Why Does the Order Matter?

Categorize your skin as if it were a sponge. Once you coat it with a thick and heavy cream, no matter what you apply on top, like a skin care serum which is usually thinner,  will be able to break through that layer.

The fundamental rule that needs to be observed is to apply the products following their consistency, beginning with the thinnest and concluding with the thickest. Implementing this tactic will enable the lighter, water-soluble formulas to permeate the deepest skin layer, while the heavier ones will "trap" the moisture and give protection to the skin surface.

Now, let's go through the ideal step-by-step routine that uses the signature Florencia Beauty essentials.

Step 1: The Effective Initial- Botanical Peptide Oxygen Revitalizing Cleanser

An unblemished surface is the precursor of any successful routine. A face with a glow cannot be created over daily dirt, pollution, and make-up remnants. But unfortunately, some of the cleansers available in the market can be really harsh to the skin; such cleansers strip off natural oils and moisture.

One of the best things is that our Botanical Peptide Oxygen Revitalizing Cleanser is going to be your best friend when it comes to face washing. With its soft foaming, it will effectively cleanse and brighten your skin but still keep the moisture level of your skin intact.

• The unique ingredient of it: The composition consists of plant-based peptides and algae-based glycoproteins that are able to improve cellular respiration. To put it differently, the skin receives more oxygen, which leads to restoring and renewing the complexion, starting with the very first step. Moreover, it also tightens the skin and makes the pores ready for the next treatments to be absorbed.

Step 2: The Prep- Vital Balance Hydrant Toner (Hydrating Recovery)

Next, after you have washed your face, comes the toning step. Most people do not use toner, which is a common mistake; however, toner remains important because it restores the skin's pH and prepares skin for better absorption.

The Vital Balance Hydrant Toner can be compared to a skin "drink of water". It immediately restores the comfort and serenity that the skin might need because of the irritation caused by seasonal dryness.

The Benefit: This toner not only repairs the skin barrier but also stimulates collagen production, thus giving a surface that is moist and open. This is very important because wet skin is much more permeable than dry skin, which gives your next products a double effectiveness.

Step 3: The Treatment- Brightening Luminous Peptide Serum

The time has finally arrived to discuss the power behind your skincare routine. The concentrated serums are basically the potions focused on solving the specific problems of the skin such as wrinkling, dullness, or unevenness.

The Brightening Luminous peptide serum for face, has come out as the knock-out peptide serum for facial skin health through a combination of extremely powerful peptides, the finest natural skin-lightening extracts, and Sodium Hyaluronate (a form of Hyaluronic Acid) in a very light serum that is easily absorbed.

• Youthful Skin Science: The principal of our formulation is the effective and strong combination of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. The dermatological clinics' research has validated that these specific peptides are the ones producing awesome results - 39% less deep wrinkles and 16% more lifting effects.
  
  
• What You'll Get: It makes the skin look brighter, gives it uniform color thus supporting the upsurge of natural collagen process and finally providing the skin with a young and lively look.

Step 4: The Specialist - ALA Peptide Eye Cream

The skin surrounding your eyes is significantly thinner and more delicate than that of the rest of your face. This area undergoes the earliest changes indicating tiredness and the gradual process of aging, therefore the need for a specialized eye treatment is an absolute must.

The ALA Peptide Eye Cream, a luxurious and potent mix of nutrients, is here to help the tired-looking eyes. Its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants work wonders since they go straight to the areas that need the most.

• Pro Tip: Even though this cream is targeted at the eyes, it has such strong lifting and smoothing effects that it can be applied to the neck, forehead, and jawline as well, in the battle against sagging. It tightens the skin, lightens the dark circles and helps to reduce puffiness after a long night.

Step 5: The Lock - Moisturizer (Hydrate and Lock in Moisture)

Sealing them is the next step after the application of your specific treatments. A high-quality moisturizer seals in the moisture completely, thereby stopping the "transepidermal water loss" (the evaporation of moisture from the skin surface).

A Florencia Beauty moisturizer not only provides hydration that goes deep and lasts long but also assists in balancing the skin's moisture content and helps to restore skin’s barrier. It does this through the natural ingredients' interaction which helps to clean up the old fine lines by increasing the skin's cell turnover.

• The Objective: To supply nutrients and a lifting effect. The skin's moisture content is lifted by the daily application of moisturizer, which also keeps your face soft and plump-looking all day long.

Step 6: The Shield- SPF 50 Brightening Day Protection Broad Spectrum

If you are doing this routine in the morning, then the last step, which is also the most important, will be sun protection. Not applying SPF will result in the entire skin care routine being just a lost fight against the UV damage.

Our SPF 50 Brightening Day Protection provides a wide-ranging barrier against both UVA and UVB rays. This product is light and does not leave any white residue on the skin which is the complete opposite of the traditional sunscreens that are heavy or chalky in texture.

• More Than Just Protection: This is not just a barrier; it is also a treatment. It nurtures and repairs the skin by working to diminish the visibility of dark spots and to control the formation of new ones. It gives your skin a radiance and at the same time prevents the sun from causing aging.
