Skin care - how to apply

5 replies

Ploppymoodypants · 29/01/2018 11:01

Hello, could someone help me please. As part of my New Years resolution to look after my skin and look more groomed I have bought some new make up. This includes a primer a fancy ‘best foundation’ a factor 50 sunlotion for face and a tinted moisturiser for everyday and a good day cream that has no spf. I am applying it this order.

Wash face
Day cream
Sun lotion
Primer
Foundation or tinted moisturiser

It’s seems a lot though. Am I doing it right?! Ten moisturiser and foundation have spf of 15

That does sound right.

Personally I don't wear sunblock as my day cream has an spf of 20.

My routine is:

Cream cleanser
Toner
Serum
Day cream spf 20
Primer
B.B. cream or foundation

Thank you! It’s just seemed like a lot of product. But I shall carry on.

It's not a lot by any means! I'd add a serum before moisturizing for anti-aging, it's also much better to stick with a separate facial Sun screen, what's in moisturiser and foundations isn't comparable to a Sun screen.

wow until this year it was literally wash and go! I can’t belive how much stuff I need. But I do look better so will stick at it. Thank you

I'd also recommend using Nip+Fab glycolic pads once or twice a week (exfoliater). Plus Nip+Fab hyaluronic acid serum in morn before moisturiser (traps moisture in skin). Both from Superdrug and inexpensive.
