Are you using your skincare products correctly?

We have previously spoke about the star ingredients of OM’s products. If not, you can read more about that here. Now that you have an understanding on the range, are you applying your products in the right order? Layering products correctly directly affects the efficacy of products and using them incorrectly can affect the penetration ability of the formulation.

 

1) Start with a clean slate

There is no better feeling than cleansing your face after a long day. Working on fresh clean skin also helps products to penetrate better as the skin is clear of grime and impurities. Before applying any products, it is important to always cleanse your skin gently and thoroughly to remove makeup and product residue and all accumulated dirt and oil. Using one of OM’s milk cleaners that works to clean while repairing the skin, your skin will feel refreshed and nourished, ready to absorb other products.

 

2) Prep the skin

Tones and mists moisturise and prep the skin for product absorption. They also restore the skin’s pH and are often loaded with skin beneficial vitamins and antioxidants, leaving your skin glowing. We recommend gently swabbing one of OM’s toners across the face and neck or spritzing OM’s lavender mist for a refreshing experience.

 

3) Begin with lighter textured products

Regardless of how many products you decide to layer, the rule of thumb is to start with the most viscous product; in other words, the product with the lightest texture. For example, if you are applying multiple serums, start with the serum that feels most like water rather than heavier serums or oils. This will ensure you benefit from maximum penetration as intended by the formulations. We always recommend using a serum under a moisturiser, such as one of OM’s serum to addresses your particular skin concern.

 

4) Don’t forget the eyes

The skin around the eyes is particularly thin. There are also a unique set of concerns related to the eye area such as puffy eye bags and dark eye circles. Using a cream designed for this delicate area would prevent unnecessary irritation and the cream is likely to include ingredients that would combat symptoms such as puffiness and dark eye circles. The OM eye cream is blends perfectly and contains a host of ingredients to hydrate and nourish.

 

5) Seal in everything

After slathering your skin with so many skin loving ingredients, don’t forget to seal them in with a moisturiser or oil. Apart from keeping your skin moisturised and locking in ingredients from earlier applied products, a moisturiser often contains antioxidants that protects the skin against environmental aggressors. OM moisturisers all contain ingredients that soothe and protect the skin.
