How to Layer Your Face Wash, Serum, and Cream for Maximum Effectiveness

Application of face care products is very important but layering them in the correct order is also equally important as it helps your skin to absorb ingredients more actively. Along with that, layering skincare products gives you a better chance of seeing results properly from your face care products.

How to Layer Skincare Products?

First & most importantly it is crucial to layer your skincare products from thinnest to thickest consistency as the lightweight formulated products are absorbed first, followed by thicker skin care products. 

This will help in promoting better absorption of the product. For a perfect and complete face care routine, you absolutely don't need a heavy 10-step skincare routine as a basic skincare routine is enough. The most basic skincare routine includes a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF. These skincare products keep your skin clean, supple, hydrated, and protected from the sun. But if you want to treat specific skincare concerns by adding more skincare products to your routine then the below guide will surely help you.

Choose skincare products wisely and adapt them as your skin changes

Organizing an effective skincare routine is all about opting the ideal skincare products at the right time & using them in the correct order. We all know what our  general skin type is, but for the application of serums, choose skincare products that are going to work on your specific skin issues. Maybe your skin texture changes with change in weather, for example humid weather in the rainy season. Or pigmented patches on the skin? So to solve such skin issues it's very necessary to identify what exactly your skin needs first & after that only you will be able to choose the right skincare products to layer.

Layer from lightest to heaviest consistency skin care products

Once you’re done with finalizing your skincare products for your skincare routine, now you need to layer them from the lightest to the heaviest formulations. Begin with putting the thinnest formulated product first which absorbs very fast on your skin & up the next layer the heaviest over it. After that, add one with the thickest formula in the end up followed by sunscreen. 

So always apply your products in this order: cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. 

Layering Face Wash, Serum, and Cream for Maximum Benefits:-

1: Face Cleanser 

The first step is to cleanse your face as it is the most crucial part of any skincare routine. 

  • Cleansing is important as it provides a clean base so that the skincare products you apply can absorb into your skin with ease and it washes away any sort of dirt & oil accumulating in & around the skin pores.
  • When choosing a face wash, choose the one that's gentle on skin & chemical-free. These face cleansers are great as they won't remove the skin oils that maintain a balanced skin barrier.
  • However, different types of skin may require face cleansers which are more hydrating or contain oil-reducing ingredients. 

How to apply Face Cleansers

Rinse  your face with normal water & gently rub your face cleanser into your skin with the help of  your fingertips then pat your skin dry with a towel. Wash your face daily in the morning & night for proper cleansing.

2: Serums 

Face Serums are the one with lightweight formulation & are absorbed quickly in the skin and you can apply serum directly to the skin's surface after the application of cleanser or toner. Best Face Serums from Fun Formulae are amazing as they contain a high concentration of active ingredients without any chemicals. 

The Face Serums help penetrate the skin & improve hydration, brightness, or other specific skin issues.

How to apply Face Serums

Take a small amount of the product to your face with clean fingers. Then, rub it gently on your skin in a light tapping motion & apply it to your face and neck. 

3: Moisturizer 

Skin moisturizers often have a thicker formulation & it is to be used after lighter-weight serums or products. Face moisturizers are designed in a way so that it can increase the hydration in your skin & repair your skin barrier. Moreover, they also seal your skin & can prevent the products with thinner formulations from fully absorbing.

How to apply Moisturizers

Massage it gently onto your entire face & neck, don’t forget the under eye area, if you don’t use an eye cream.  

Conclusion

Layering the face products in your skincare routine is very important so try using the Face Wash, Face Pack, Face Scrub, Face Serum, and Cream from Fun Formulae for best results.
