What's the Correct Skincare Order?

Facial skin is constantly exposed to elements such as sun, pollution, and dirt, which can harm its health and appearance. For this reason, skincare routines have become increasingly popular, offering protection and treatment for the skin.

However, the order in which we apply products is fundamental to ensure their effectiveness and correct absorption. To help, we have put together a 5-step guide that will simplify your skincare routine. Check it out!

1st Step: Skin Cleansing

Cleansing is the first and most essential step. It removes impurities, oiliness, and residues accumulated during the day or night, preparing the skin to absorb subsequent products. Choose a facial cleanser suitable for your skin type: oily, combination, dry, or sensitive.

2nd Step: Complementary Cleansing

Cleanser alone is not always enough to deeply clean pores. This is where complementary products come in to eliminate more stubborn impurities:

• Facial toner: Balances skin's pH and reduces oiliness.
• Micellar water: Cleans, removes makeup, and works well for oily and acne-prone skin.
• Exfoliator: Removes dead skin cells and cleans deeply, but should be used a maximum of twice a week, especially for sensitive skin.

3rd Step: Application of Dermocosmetics

This step focuses on specific treatments that address your skin's needs, such as combating acne, reducing blemishes, or signs of aging. Some of the most recommended active ingredients include:

• Vitamin C: Antioxidant that stimulates collagen and evens out skin tone.
• Hyaluronic acid: Deeply hydrates and maintains elasticity.
• Salicylic acid: Reduces oiliness and fights acne.
• Glycolic acid: Promotes cell renewal and improves texture and blemishes (use only at night).

Note: Consult a dermatologist to choose the right products and avoid combinations that may irritate the skin.

4th Step: Hydration

Hydration is essential for all skin types, including oily skin. Hydration helps restore the skin's barrier, improve texture, and prevent irritation. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type:

• Dry skin: Prefer denser textures.
• Oily or combination skin: Opt for light, oil-free, and fast-absorbing formulas.

5th Step: Sun Protection

The last step, but no less important, is sunscreen. It protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, as well as minimizing damage caused by visible light, such as from screens. Choose the SPF according to your skin's needs (30, 50, or more).

Tip: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you are exposed to the sun.

Should I do skincare in the morning or at night?

Both times are suitable, depending on your goals:

• In the morning: Prepares the skin to face the day, with protection against external aggressions.
• At night: Allows the skin to regenerate and repair while resting.

With the correct order and the right products, such as those offered by Dermagius, your skin will be healthier, more protected, and radiant. Adopt this routine and transform daily care into a moment of self-care and well-being!
