The best order to apply skincare

It is realy important when using skincare that you apply them in the correct order to give the best results.

You should always start by cleansing your face to ensure you start with a clean base and removing anything that may clog your pores.
Next add a toner if you use (toners are great for helping clear away anything that has been left on the skin even after cleaning (alot of people dont bother with a toner- i personaly like it) you want to now add any kind of serum and anything medicated, such as creams for treating acne or rosacea, this all goes on next to skin, this way the active ingredients can penetrate properly into the skin, If your treatment cream is heavy then youll want to let this soak into the skin for a few minutes first before the next step.

Next is the best time to apply a sunscreen to make sure your skin is protected - alot of people dont do this step but it is recommended to alawys wear some sort of sun protection (even if the weather isnt sunny) - you can save time and money with a moisturizer with an SPF added or even a tinted moisturizer with SPF (if you dont need a foundation)

While the cream is settling into the skin I would then apply eye cream all around the eye area, from underneath where the eye bags normaly are right up to the brow bone.
When applying eye crean you want to always use your ring finger as this is the finger with the lightest touch and you only want to pat the product onto the area gently- no rubbing this can seriously cause broken vessels under the eye and make the eyes look even darker underneath and give off a constant dark blue shaddow.

Next and last step is to apply a moisturiser if you dont have a built in spf as previously mentioned, let this set in the skin then you are ready to apply your makeup (if needed)
