Step 7: Face Oil
When it comes to your nightly skincare routine, this should be your final step. You should apply face oil in the morning and evening. Why? Oils are occlusive, meaning they can help trap moisture in your skin by providing a protective barrier that prevents it from evaporating. This can help keep your skin from drying out while you’re playing out in the sun and while your skin is snoozing at night.
So, what should you look for in a face oil? Opt for a lightweight product that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed, like the Artistry Studio™ Zen Daze Ahead Facial Oil + 300 mg CBD from Amway™ With calming lavender and cucumber, it can your face feel ultra-nourished and give it that gentle glow no matter the time of day.
Step 8: Sunscreen
Last but definitely not least, sunscreen. While you won’t need this step during your nightly skincare routine, be sure to top off your morning ritual with it to help protect your skin against ultraviolet (UV) rays. When it comes to sunscreen, you’ve got your run of the mill between physical and chemical varieties. Physical sunscreen contains minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which can help reflect light away from your skin. On the other hand, chemical sunscreens can absorb light and convert it into heat, which may help to keep UV rays from penetrating your skin.
You probably wouldn’t be able to tell what each of these products does just by wearing them. But, you can tell them apart by the way they feel. Chemical sunscreens tend to be thinner and spread more easily. When in doubt, opt for a mineral-based formula that is gentler on sensitive skin. Be aware that these sunscreens may leave a white cast on darker skins, so choose a product that keeps your skin type and color in mind.
Taking care of your skin is an investment of your time and money. Make the most of your skincare routine by using the right products for your skin in the right order to increase their effectiveness.
