In what order should the skincare steps be performed?
In stores, there are now products of every kind for a complete skincare routine. However, sometimes these products are too numerous, to the point that often, especially when you are a beginner, understanding which actions are truly effective and necessary for your skincare routine becomes almost impossible.
In this article, we clarify a bit and try to answer two fundamental questions for the well-being of your skin:
- what are the steps to follow daily in your skincare routine?
- in what order should these steps be taken to achieve the desired effect?
From makeup removal, to cleansing and hydration: let's discover all the steps together!
Step 1: Remove make-up
The first essential phase in your skincare routine consists of makeup removal, that is, the removal of makeup worn on the skin all day. The first phase of makeup removal can be done using a specific micellar lotion, which you can also reuse in the morning to touch up your makeup in case of smudges or imperfections.
"We recommend trying the BIOMA CARE makeup remover lotion (link product) which, with a simple gesture, allows you to remove" makeup, impurities, foreign particles, and any harmful microorganisms from the skin. It also contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, for a complete care of the skin system.
Phase 2: Cleanse
Once the makeup has been removed in its predominant component, a more thorough cleaning must be carried out. It is important to remember that the first phase of makeup removal alone is not sufficient to achieve perfectly clean skin. Therefore, an oily cleanser should be used for dry skin, or a foaming cleanser if less hydration is needed. Rinsing off all products applied up to this point with plenty of water is truly essential for clean skin.
Remember: this phase is one of the most important in your skincare routine! If the skin is not properly cleansed, applying products on top will create a harmful mix for your skin and, above all, it will not allow you to achieve that healthy and radiant look you desire.
Phase 3: Tonic
After cleansing the skin, one step not to forget is the application of a good toner. The latter is very useful for restoring the hydrolipidic film that may be altered following the cleansing of the skin. Good toners also work on the skin's pores, giving it a more toned and fresh appearance.
Phase 4: Eye Contour
"An often overlooked part of our face is the eye contour area. This is actually a rather sensitive and delicate zone, as the skin present here is much thinner than that which makes up the rest of the face. Taking proper care of this area every day is essential to achieve a fresh, bright look free from dark circles, while also preventing the appearance of fine lines."
Applying moisturizer also as an eye contour is a very common mistake; given the specificity of this area of the face, it is necessary to always use a targeted product.
Phase 5: Hydration
The daily routine ends with a final phase of skin hydration. If we are talking about the morning skincare, a light yet moisturizing cream is generally what is needed; if we are referring to an evening skincare, the cream can be richer and more nourishing.
The day cream DAY BIOME is perfect to use in the morning as a base before proceeding with your daily makeup. It works by counteracting expression lines and free radicals.
The night cream NIGHT BIOME DETOX is perfect for nourishing the skin during nighttime rest, ideal right after cleansing.
