VITAMIN C VS. RETINOL: WHICH ONE IS FOR ME?
Explore the difference between two of the skincare world's most famous ingredients
-
"Straight after cleansing and exfoliating, you're going to apply your eye cream first. That's because it's the most delicate piece of skin so you want to get the targeted richness of the cream onto the desired area before you put your moisturisers on; the eye cream won't be able to penetrate through the other layers."
-
"After a double cleanse and applying your serum, this is the last product to use in your routine. I recommend using it last thing at night, as facial oils are fantastic at regenerating skin while you're sleeping. You can spend a bit of time really massaging it into the skin, with upwards and outwards motions, encouraging lymphatic drainage - your lymphatic system is working its best as you sleep. You can also add the facial oil into your night cream to boost hydration levels, as it's really nourishing."
-
"Serums offer a targeted concentration of ingredients. I would definitely spend my money on serums as they will do what is needed for your skin; they can support your skin's additional needs i.e. pigmentation, dehydration, breakouts. Your moisturiser on top is for complete hydration - I really believe everyone needs a moisturiser."
-
"Salicylic Acid is a great one, the only BHA there is - it works inside the pore and turfs out any bacteria, plus it's gentle enough for daily use. It's designed to tackle imperfections; over production of sebum can lead to congestion and spots. Niacinamide is anti inflammatory; it slows down sebum production, improves skin tone and regulates poil production. You can use both of these morning and evening within your skincare regime. "
