How Layering Your Sunscreen Helps During Summers

Regular application of sunscreen is vital to protect the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing sunburn and skin damage, making it an essential part of a skincare routine.

Proper layering can maximize its benefits by ensuring that each product penetrates the skin effectively. It also reduces the risk of negative interactions between ingredients, minimising the chance of irritation or adverse reactions to the skin.

Additionally, layering complementary formulations can enhance product efficacy. Pairing products that work well together can boost their effectiveness, leading to better results for your skin.

To begin with: Apply thin, water-based products before thicker, oil-based ones for better absorption.

Active ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C should be applied before moisturisers to enhance their penetration into the skin, ensuring maximum benefits.

Apply treatment products before moisturisers to avoid dilution and to maintain the effectiveness of the product.

Moisturisers play a crucial role in barrier formation, locking in moisture and active substances from prior steps.

Personalising skincare routines based on individual skin needs and preferences is important since everyone's skin is unique, ensuring optimal results tailored to specific concerns.

Customise skincare routines and SPF variations according to the temperature to address specific concerns and optimise results during different seasons.
