Layering is a skincare technique that involves applying different cosmetic products in successive layers. The aim is to maximize the benefits of each product, ensuring that it is well absorbed before moving on to the next step. This beauty ritual is inspired by traditional practices in Asia, notably Japan and Korea, where it is known as saho.

Why adopt the layering method?

This technique optimizes the effectiveness of skin care products by applying them in a specific order. Each product plays a well-defined role, and layering ensures that the skin receives all the nutrients it needs in a progressive manner. By following a precise order, some products penetrate deeper, while others act on the surface to protect and moisturize.

The order of layering: a ritual to be respected

The order in which products are applied is essential to maximize their benefits. For example, some active ingredients need to penetrate the skin without a barrier, while others, such as oils or sunscreens, form a protective layer that should be applied last.

Here's a classic example of a layering routine:

Make-up remover: removes impurities and make-up. Cleanser: deeply purifies the skin. Toner: rebalances the skin's pH and prepares it for subsequent treatments. Serum: concentrates active ingredients to target specific issues (hydration, anti-aging, radiance). Moisturizing cream: moisturizes and protects the skin barrier. Vegetable oil: to seal in moisture or as an intensive treatment. Sunscreen (optional): essential in the morning to protect skin from UV rays.

Is layering suitable for all skin types?

It's important to note that layering is not a universal method. Some skin types, particularly very sensitive or reactive skin, may not tolerate a large number of products. It is therefore essential to adapt this technique to your skin's specific needs. Each individual's skin is unique, and it's crucial to know it well in order to choose the right products.
