Eben- and Yaz, this also applies to you, for the love of all things holier than thou can you please both learn how to do a skin care routine
If you've worn a lot of makeup and let's face it, you two trowel it on like you're in the plastering business, take your makeup up off properly! A makeup wipe isn't going to cut it!
You need an oil based cleanser, something to break down the oils on your makeup, then you absolutely need to cleanse again really with a water based or gel cleanser!
Next you go in with your toner after you've pat dried your skin, preferably one for your skin tone! If you don't know your skin type you can easily get a skin analysis done in store boots etc or do a quiz online or just actually do some research online.
If you have an acid based toner then you should absolutely not be using that and using serums/moisturisers with acid in on top, same goes for retinol and vitamin c and if you do that, do it once a week tops, especially if you have acne prone skin as you'll just dry out your skin and potentially make your skin worse. So ideally you need two toners, one for every day and one for specific targeting if that's what you want or need.
Next it's your eye cream, dabbed gently onto the skin with a finger, then you use your serum and then your moisturiser last. It's the lightest product first to the thickest to get the most hydration into your skin. If it's day time you absolutely need spf too after moisturiser, even in winter. Please take note. Thank you.
