How to Layer Skin Care Products: Dos and Don’ts with Canvas Skin

Jan 30

Layering your skincare products can significantly impact how well your routine works. The right order allows your skin to absorb ingredients effectively, ensuring you get the most out of each step. At Canvas Skin, we believe proper layering helps maintain hydrated, healthy, and radiant skin. Here’s a guide on how to layer your products, along with the dos and don’ts to follow.

Dos

1. Start with a Gentle Cleanser

Begin with Airo Cleanser, a soothing face wash that gently cleanses while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Always start with clean, prepped skin to allow your other products to work effectively.

2. Use a Toner to Balance

Next, apply Imera Toner Pads to balance your skin’s pH and remove any leftover impurities. This hydrating step preps your skin for deeper absorption.

3. Apply a Hydrating Serum

Follow with a hydrating serum like Halycon Serum. This powerful serum, enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, deeply nourishes and boosts moisture, leaving your skin plump and radiant.

4. Seal in Hydration with a Moisturizer

Layer on Krema, a rich moisturizer that locks in the hydration from your serum and keeps your skin soft throughout the day or night.

5. Finish with Sunscreen

In the daytime, always finish with New Sol Tinted Sunscreen. This multitasking sunscreen provides both hydration and broad-spectrum protection, ensuring your skin stays safe from UV damage.

6. Nighttime Nourishment

At night, use Kalo Cream to deeply nourish your skin while you sleep. This strengthening and re-volumizing corrective cream replenishes your skin overnight.

Don’ts

1. Don’t Over-Exfoliate

Avoid using harsh exfoliants too frequently. Opt for gentle exfoliation 1-2 times per week using Imera Toner Pads to prevent stripping your skin of moisture.

2. Don’t Skip Moisturizer

Even oily skin needs hydration! Skip the moisturizer and your skin may become overcompensated, leading to dryness. Use Krema to balance and lock in moisture.

3. Don’t Layer Too Many Actives

Mixing too many active ingredients at once can overload your skin and lead to irritation. Stick to one or two active ingredients, such as serums with antioxidants or gentle acids like those found in Halycon Serum.

4. Don’t Apply Sunscreen Over Oils

Wait a few minutes after using Halycon Serum before applying New Sol Tinted Sunscreen. Sunscreen needs time to absorb, and layering oils can interfere with its effectiveness.

5. Don’t Apply Products on Dry Skin

Always apply products to damp skin. This helps seal in moisture, making your products more effective. Avoid layering onto completely dry skin.

6. Don’t Rush Through Absorption

Let your skin absorb each product before moving on to the next step. Rushing through your routine can lead to piling and prevent proper absorption.
