WHAT IS THE CORRECT ORDER TO APPLY SKINCARE?

The world of skincare is vast, and navigating it successfully involves knowing the correct order to apply your products. The golden rule is to go from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. This ensures each product is effectively absorbed, providing your skin a full spectrum of benefits. Whether morning or night, adhering to the correct skincare routine order is key to unlocking the potential of La Mer's luxurious products.

STEP 1:

CLEANSE YOUR FACE
When it comes to the order to apply your skincare, the first step and foundation of any skincare routine is a thorough cleanse. La Mer's Cleansing Foam is a gentle yet effective option, catering to morning and nighttime rituals. This step is essential in the evening to rid your face of the day's impurities, including makeup and environmental polluctants. Cleansing prepares your canvas, allowing subsequent products to penetrate deeply and work their magic.

STEP 2:

USE A TONER
Following cleansing, the next step in the ideal skincare routine order is to tone your skin. The Tonic by La Mer serves this purpose impeccably, rebalancing your skin's pH and resurfacing your complexion. Toning is a crucial step in both morning and nighttime skincare routines. It primes your skin to absorb subsequent products and promotes a refreshed and revitalised appearance.

STEP 3:

APPLY A FACIAL ESSENCE
The Treatment Lotion, La Mer's iconic facial essence, takes centre stage in this step. Packed with beneficial ingredients, it prepares the skin for the coming layers. Delve deeper into the benefits of The Treatment Lotion and understand why it's a cornerstone in achieving radiant, hydrated skin.

STEP 4:

LAYER ON A SERUM
Now comes the time to address specific skin concerns with a serum. Always remember to apply serums before moisturiser. Serums, applied twice daily – morning and night – are designed to penetrate deeply, delivering concentrated ingredients. La Mer offers an array of serums tailored to different needs, including The Concentrate, which is ideal for soothing and healing stressed skin. La Mer’s Revitalizing Hydrating Serum is another wonderful option and is perfect for intense hydration and rejuvenation. Finally, the Lifting Firming Serum is the anti-ageing serum of your dreams, combating signs of ageing and helping to lift and plump the skin for a youthful glow. Applying serums before moisturiser is crucial, as their lightweight consistency allows them to penetrate the skin efficiently.

STEP 5:

APPLY AN UNDER-EYE CREAM
The delicate skin around the eyes requires special attention. Applying an under-eye cream before your face moisturiser is essential to your skincare routine order, as these formulations are lighter and thinner. La Mer offers targeted options, such as The Eye Concentrate, to address concerns like puffiness and dark circles. Consider using different eye creams for day and night to cater to the unique needs of your eye area.

STEP 6:

BOOST HYDRATION WITH A MOISTURISER
Moisturising is a pivotal step in both morning and nighttime skincare routine orders. La Mer offers a range of moisturisers to suit different preferences and skin types. During the day, opt for a lightweight formula like the Moisturizing Cool Gel Cream, providing hydration without feeling heavy. For your nighttime routine, indulge in the richness of Crème de la Mer, allowing your skin to soak in nourishment while you sleep.

STEP 7:

FINISH WITH A FEW DROPS OF FACIAL OIL
Finish your skincare routine order with a few drops of facial oil, such as the Renewal Oil by La Mer. This step may be optional for your morning routine, especially if you plan to apply makeup afterwards or have oily skin. The Renewal Oil helps lock in all the goodness from the previous steps, creating a protective barrier that retains moisture and enhances the overall efficacy of your skincare products.
