The 5 Most Asked Skincare Questions—Answered!
When it comes to skincare, there’s no shortage of questions! From the right order to apply products to whether facial oil is safe for oily skin, we’re here to clear up the confusion. Below are five of the most commonly asked skincare questions—answered.
1. In What Order Should I Apply My Skincare Products?
Applying your products in the correct order ensures your skin gets the most out of each step. Here’s a simple guide:
- Cleanser
- Exfoliating Polish
- Mask
- Serums (Brightening, Firming, Luminous Oil, Eye Repair)
- Moisturizer (SPF moisturizer in the morning, Quench or Brightening Moisturizer at night.)
- Mist
2. Can I Use the Luminous Oil If I Have Oily Skin?
Absolutely! Many people with oily skin assume they should avoid facial oils, but the right oil—like our Luminous Oil—is actually beneficial. It’s packed with lightweight, non-comedogenic ingredients that help balance oil production, hydrate the skin, and provide a radiant glow without clogging pores. Instead of making your skin greasy, it helps regulate and nourish it.
3. How Often Should I Exfoliate?
Exfoliation is key to glowing, healthy skin, but finding the right balance is important. Over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, while under-exfoliating can leave your skin looking dull. So, how often should you do it?
The answer depends on your skin type and the type of exfoliant you’re using:
Sensitive Skin: 1-2 times per week with a gentle, Soothing Polish.
Dry Skin: 3 times per week to help remove flaky skin and boost hydration.
Oily/Combination Skin: 3-5 times per week to clear excess oil and unclog pores.
Normal Skin: 3-5 times per week for a polished, radiant complexion.
4. Do I Really Need to Wear Sunscreen Every Day?
YES! Sunscreen is the most important step in your skincare routine. UV rays can cause premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even undo all the benefits of your serums and treatments. Apply a lightweight, moisturizing SPF 30 daily—even on cloudy days!
