So do not apply a second product too quickly.
Training time
For many, a morning facial care ritual is a moment to wake up peacefully. And make sure you take advantage of that rest, because you can’t just apply one cream over another serum. How much time do you have to wait between your products? Unfortunately that is a bit more complicated.
There is no minimum number of minutes that you have to wait until your next one skincare product you can apply. The amount of time your skin needs to absorb a product varies per formula. Dermatologist Kim Nichols emphasizes that you should always wait until a product has been absorbed by your skin before applying the next one. This prevents certain ingredients from mixing with each other. You also want this, because otherwise the effect of an ingredient can be reduced.
Guidelines
So how long you have to wait depends on the product. However, some guidelines apply to certain creams and serums. Do you use products to treat acne? Then leave this at least 1 minute to withdraw. According to dermatologist Dendy Engelman give the ingredients in the product sufficient time to activate.
Do you use retinol? Then according to a dermatologist you don’t have to Harold Lancer actually no waiting. “The ingredients in this consist of a different chemistry and will be absorbed more quickly by the skin,” he says to Allure. It is important to use a high-quality retinol.
For serums and moisturizers, you generally have to wait 1 minute before applying the next layer skincare applies. The same waiting period applies to sunscreen. According to dermatologist Sejal Shah it is important that you really take that time. “When sunscreen is mixed with other products, it becomes diluted and less effective.”
