Your Egrari Edit Skincare Guide
Welcome to the Egrari Edit subscription box! This guide is your key to making the most of your carefully curated skincare routine. Consistency is the foundation of great skin, but the order in which you apply your products is just as important. Using the correct sequence ensures that each product absorbs effectively and delivers its full benefits.
Why Order Matters
Think of your skincare routine like building a house—each layer supports the next. If applied incorrectly, some products may not work as intended, reducing their effectiveness. To maximize results, apply as follows:
- Cleanser
- Exfoliator
- Toner
- Eye Cream
- Serums
- Moisturizer
- Sunscreen
How-To
- Cleanser - Start fresh. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup.
-
- Amount needed: Nickel-sized
- If you wear heavy makeup or sunscreen, consider double cleansing (first with an oil-based cleanser, then your daily cleanser).
- Exfoliator (1-3 times a week) - Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, improving skin texture and allowing better absorption of your skincare products.
-
- Amount needed: Quarter-sized
- Avoid over-exfoliating; 1 to 3 times a week is ideal.
- Toner - Toner balances your skin’s pH, preps it for the next steps, and provides additional hydration or targeted benefits.
-
- Amount needed: 3-4 spritzes if using a spray toner or apply with a cotton pad.
- Eye Cream - The delicate skin around your eyes requires a special formula to address concerns like puffiness, dark circles, or fine lines.
-
- Amount needed: Rice grain-sized per eye.
- Use your ring finger to gently tap the product around your eyes.
- Serums - Serums are the powerhouse of any skincare routine, delivering concentrated ingredients to address specific concerns such as aging, pigmentation, or acne
-
- Amount needed: Pea-sized per serum.
- Moisturizer - Moisturizer locks in hydration and creates a protective barrier to prevent water loss.
-
- Amount needed: Dime-sized for your face and neck.
- Don’t forget to moisturize your neck and chest.
- Sunscreen - Protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature aging.
-
- Amount needed: Two-finger length to cover your face, neck, and ears.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- A powder sunscreen is a great way to reapply throughout the day and protect your hairline.
- Apply generously to all exposed areas.
How to Layer Serums by Texture
Layering serums correctly helps maximize their benefits. Always apply from the lightest to the heaviest texture.
- Watery or gel-based serums: Apply first as they absorb quickly.
- Light creams or lotions: Follow with these if you’re using multiple serums.
- Oil-based serums: Apply last to lock in moisture and prevent water loss.
Did You Know?
✨ Your skin renews itself every 28 days. But as you age, this process slows down, making exfoliation essential.
☀️ Sunscreen isn’t just for sunny days. UV rays can penetrate through clouds, windows, and clothing, so daily application is a must.
🧴 Layering skincare incorrectly can reduce effectiveness. Applying a thick cream before a watery serum can prevent the serum from absorbing properly.
⏳ Consistency is key. Even the best products won’t work overnight. Stick to your routine, and you’ll see long-term benefits.
