SKIN CARE PRODUCTS ORDER OF APPLICATION LIST

There is a lot of confusion as to which order we should apply skin care products to the skin. So I thought I would put together a 'Quick & Easy' list of the basic and most common items used with their order of application.

A.M

Vit C Serum

Sunscreen and Moisturizer.

*If using a Chemical SS this needs to be applied *before* moisturizer. If using a Physical SS which are products that contain Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide these can be applied *before or after* moisturizer, whichever you prefer.

Primer (if you use it)

Makeup

 P.M

Cleanser *Please Note* If you use a Physical SS during the day you will need to remove this with an Oil Cleanser. If you use a Chemical SS you can use whichever cleanser you prefer.

Niacinamide Toner

(wait 15 minutes)

Vit C Serum

Wait 15 minutes

Retin A

Hydroquinone (if used)

Both the Retin A & Hydroquinone can be applied together by mixing in the palm of the hand first if preferred.

If you would like to introduce an AHA product into your routine this needs to be used in the P.M and alternated between the use of Retin A for example:

Monday & Thursday use AHA products and omit Retin A use

Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday use Retin A and omit AHA use
