No More Confusion! A Simple but Effective Skincare Routine

Implovers, are you often confused about these two things? are some of the questions frequently asked by women, especially beginners. Or even "Should I apply serum first or sunscreen?" These questions are understandable, as the order in which I apply my skincare directly impacts the results.
With the right understanding, a skincare routine not only makes for healthier skin but also helps address issues like dullness, acne, and dryness. Now, let's thoroughly explore the proper skincare steps.
Skincare has multiple functions, from cleansing and hydrating to protecting the skin. If the order is incorrect, the benefits of each product can be diminished. For example, sunscreen, which should be applied last, is applied before serum. As a result, its effectiveness in protecting against the sun's rays is reduced.
Therefore, understanding how to apply skincare correctly is an important first step for anyone serious about taking skin care seriously.
