All-in-one All skin care
Who does not know this: In the morning, when things have to be done particularly quickly, there is unfortunately only enough time for minimalist skin care: All-in-one products as a time-saving variant in skin care are then the very first choice. A mild facial cleansing, followed by a day cream - and that's it. Important here: few ingredients that are as natural as possible and no unnecessary additives such as alcohol, emulsifiers, fragrances or preservatives that can irritate the skin..
Layering for a healthy, youthful skin
The layering method from the Far East requires a little more time. There, especially in Japan and South Korea, layering skin care has been practiced for a long time. Several care products are layered on top of each other in a fixed order. The aim is a well moisturized, plump skin with a glow.
The fixed product order is arranged for complementing the active ingredients perfectly. The layering method is comparable to a modular building block system. With the right application, you can - individually adapted to your skin type and your current skin situation - achieve a much higher effectiveness than with single care products.
The right order in facial care: from light to rich texture
The optimal order in which you apply your facial care depends on the consistency of the products - from light to heavy. So after your facial cleansing, start with the lightest product:
- Step 1: Cleanser
The choice between a mild cleansing cream or a cleansing oil depends on whether you only want to remove excess sebum and dirt or waterproof makeup as well. Avoid cleansers with surfactants, as they dry out your skin and weaken the skin barrier.
Exfoliation: not for sensitive skin
As the next care step, a peeling is often recommended, but this is by no means suitable for sensitive skin. A peeling smoothes the skin surface for a more even complexion. However, the skin is heavily stressed, the skin barrier and the protective acid mantle are weakened.
- Step 2: Toner
The toner, also known as tonic, tonic or facial tonic, is the perfect transition between cleansing and care. The toner should be alcohol-free so as not to dry out your skin. The most important advantages of a toner: It stabilizes the protective acid mantle, refreshes, clarifies impurities and soothes irritations. A toner is also ideal for setting makeup or for re-moisturization as needed throughout the day. The Magnolia Toner contains hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan to deeply moisturize and prevent inflammation.
- Step 3: Serum
After the toner, the highly concentrated active ingredients of a facial serum are optimally absorbed by the cleansed and moistened skin. Depending on the individual skin type, skin condition and the most important goals of your skin care, we recommend special active ingredient serums:
- Hyaluronserum 300: strengthens and tightens the skin, contains high-dosed, deeply acting oligo-hyaluron with depot effect
- Brightening Vitamin Serum: for accelerated regeneration of mature skin and a natural glow, with highly effective antioxidant vitamins
- Bakuchiol Serum: boosts the body's own collagen production, ensures a more even complexion and improves skin texture
- Anti-Pollution Serum: protects against harmful environmental influences such as fine dust particles or blue light, which accelerate skin aging, with Ectoin
- Copaiba Blemish Serum: intensive special care against pimples and acne
- Magnolia Calming Serum: increases skin hydration, soothes hypersensitive skin and redness
Extra tip: How to combine several face serums
All myrto facial serums are perfectly combinable with each other. They can variably be integrated into your facial care routine. The right order: apply the light serums based on aloe vera first, before the serums with a higher oil content after a short exposure time.
Choosing the optimal combination of several serums, depends on your individual skin needs. After the Hyaluron 300 Serum, you can very well apply a protective serum against damaging environmental influences or provide your skin a natural glow with an extra portion of vitamins.
If your skin doesn't like a rich cream during summer, you can instead apply the Anti-Pollution Serum or the Calming Serum as a solo care. Our favorite light, deep-acting overnight care product with a visible anti-aging effect is the Brightening Vitamin Serum.
- Step 4: Eye Care
Especially if you suffer from dry skin around the eyes, a special eye care is recommended. Our Argan Eye Serum provides the sensitive skin around the eyes with moisture, prevents eyestrain and wrinkles. It reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. The eye serum is free from fragrances, preservatives or alcohol..
- Step 5: Day Cream, Night Cream & Face mask
The next step is a face cream to enclose the serums. It makes sense to use a special day and night cream, as both have different aims. A skin-identical day cream ensures the skin not to dry out, protects from damaging environmental influences and strengthens the skin barrier. All 3 myrto day creams are ideal as a make-up base.
A night cream or face mask primarily supports the cellular regeneration process. It supplies your skin with a high concentration of nourishing actives. The texture of the night cream or face mask is richer than of the day cream. While the Soothing Mask mainly soothes your skin and provides it with an extra portion moisture, the Glow Mask revitalizes and ensures a more even complexion.
- Step 6: Facial Oil or Oil Serum
A subsequent facial oil is recommended for every skin type - partly instead of a cream. For dry skin, a nourishing facial oil provides a breathable seal in moisturizer while giving skin a natural glow.
For oily areas of skin prone to breakouts, anti-comedogenic oils are a pro tip. Face oils with grapeseed, argan, tamanu, or jojoba oil work particularly well. They bring the sebum production into balance and influence the composition of the skin's own lipids (sebum). This removes the breeding ground for the pimple-causing bacteria.
Face oils as concentrated active ingredient care in the evening lock the moisture of the serum in your skin. Their polyunsaturated fatty acids stimulate cell renewal. Additional
- Step 7: Sunscreen
During the day, a light sunscreen forms the last layer when layering. Protective Sunshine Day Oil absorbs the sun's damaging UV rays to prevent premature wrinkles and skin damage. It contains high-dose karanja oil with natural light protection and powerful antioxidants - without a whitening effect and without nanoparticles. You can apply the protective oil serum drop by drop or enrich the day cream with 1 to 2 drops to protect your skin in light to normal sun. For intensive sunbathing or extensive summer outdoor activities, you should also apply a high mineral sunscreen to your skin. You apply this as the last layer. Otherwise the ingredients of the other products cannot be absorbed by the skin. .
Conclusion
Optimal facial care consists of several steps. It does require a certain amount of time. The drier your skin feels, the more layers you should apply. However, you do not necessarily have to follow every single care step in your individual layering routine. You can also simplify the steps.
Important to know: When layering, you only need a very small amount of each product: only apply the individual layers very thinly so as not to over-care for your skin.
The big advantage of layering is that, depending on the condition of your skin and the time of year, you can react individually and flexibly to the changing needs of your skin: So if your skin needs more extensive care in winter, you wear a facial oil over serum and as the last layer skin cream on. In summer, on the other hand, when your skin needs more moisture and fewer lipids, a light moisturizing serum alone can be enough for healthy and long-term youthful skin. Be good to your skin: Happy Layering!!
