Must Know, this is the Correct Skincare Routine!

The beauty trend is evolving along with the increasing use of skincare or facial treatments. Today we are familiar with various types of skincare products such as Toner, Essence, Sunscreen, and others. Basically, the sequence of using skincare can be grouped into Morning Skincare and Night Skincare. Let's take a look at the correct order of skincare application!

Cleanse Your Face with Facial Wash in the Morning

Skin care in the morning focuses on hydrating and protecting the facial skin from UV sunlight. The first step in caring for the skin in the morning can start with washing the face. While sleeping, the facial skin continues to produce oil and sweat which can result in the accumulation of dead skin cell residues and bacteria. Therefore, it is important to cleanse the dirt using a special facial soap.

Use Toner and Serum Suitable for Your Skin.

Toner can help restore the skin's natural pH after washing the face. If you have acne-prone skin or currently have acne, it is important to use the right Acne Serum. One alternative serum you can try is the Implora Acne Serum. This serum helps accelerate acne healing and inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
For those with dry skin, many dermatologists recommend regularly using Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid content which has been proven to maintain facial skin moisture. There are many other benefits of serums that you can adjust to your skin problems. For example, use Niacinamide Serum to brighten the skin, and Retinol Serum to reduce signs of aging.

Use Moisturizer to Lock in Moisture

The next step is to apply moisturizer as an extra layer to protect your facial skin. Moisturizers come in various forms, such as cream or gel. The best moisturizer is one that can hydrate the skin and maintain the skin barrier. Especially if you are in the process of treating acne and using active ingredients like Salicylic Acid that can dry out the facial skin, then you need to choose a moisturizer for acne-prone skin.

Don't Skip Sunscreen in the Morning

Sunscreen is a mandatory product in the skincare routine. According to dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tansi, many people still do not understand the benefits of sunscreen. In addition to causing uneven skin tone, excessive sun exposure can trigger wrinkles and fine lines.

All of this can be prevented by using good sunscreen, with a minimum SPF of 30, as recommended by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). Implora Sunscreen has been clinically tested to have an SPF of 44.33 and is suitable for all skin types. Its Almond Extract, Aloe Vera Extract, and Hyaluronic Acid content help care for and moisturize the facial skin.

After a Day of Activities, Double Cleansing is a Must!

Even if you don't wear heavy makeup, cleansing your face twice is a must. Double Cleansing is believed to thoroughly cleanse the face from makeup residues, sunscreen, dust, and accumulated sebum. The steps for Double Cleansing involve using two types of cleansers. You can use cleansing oil as the first cleanser. Make sure your face is dry when using this cleanser! Then use a gentle foam-based facial soap as the second cleanser. This step will remove all residues of the cleansing oil.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3

This step is similar to what you did in the morning. After washing your face, don't forget to apply toner and serum that suits your skin. You can use a different serum than the one you used in the morning. Moreover, you can try the layering technique if you want to address multiple skin problems at once.

Here are some layering recommendations for serums from Implora for various skin problems. Which serum combination is suitable for you?

• Hydrating Serum + Birdnest Skin Nourish Serum = Extra moisture

• Bakuchiol Serum + Birdnest Skin Nourish Serum = Preventing signs of aging

• Peeling Serum + Hydrating Serum = Removing dead skin cells & moisturizing the skin

• Acne Serum + Salmon DNA Serum = Caring for acne-prone skin

• Liporetinol Serum + Midnight Serum = Removing dead skin cells & rejuvenating the skin

• Luminous Brightening Serum + Bakuchiol Serum = Helping fade dark spots

• Hydrating Serum + Bakuchiol Serum = Strengthening the skin barrier

• Acne Serum + Luminous Brightening Serum = Soothing acne and fading acne scars

Routinely Use Sleeping Mask

Sleeping Mask is a facial mask used in the final step of the skincare routine. As a tip, choose the best Sleeping Mask with a light texture, usually in the form of clear or transparent gel. To use the Sleeping Mask, simply apply the mask to the entire face except the eye and lip areas, leave it overnight, then rinse with clean water in the morning.

In addition to locking in moisture on the skin, the benefits of using Sleeping Mask regularly can nourish and help accelerate the repair of facial skin.

So, that's the correct morning and night skincare routine. As a recap, you can follow a safe base skincare routine for beginners.

It is important to find out which skincare ingredients should not be used together, such as active ingredients like Retinol with Vitamin C, Niacinamide with AHA/BHA, and so on. Additionally, you need to consider skincare brands that are safe for breastfeeding and pregnant women. Lastly, don't forget to always check the BPOM registration of skincare products. Happy trying!
