Cosmetic routines in Alicante

The recommended order for applying cosmetic products is as follows:

1. Cleaning (cleaner).
2. Exfoliation.
3. Tonic.
4. Active ingredients (apply the lighter textures first): ampoules, serum, gel, cream.
5. Hydration.
6. Photoprotection.
7. Makeup (if desired).

To achieve visible changes in your skin, it is not necessary to complicate your routine. The essential thing is to be consistent and choose products with proven effectiveness. The three fundamental actions in a facial routine are:

1. Daily cleaning with a surfactant to remove residue.
2. Apply sunscreen in the morning to protect the skin.
3. Using transformative agents (such as retinoids or hydroxy acids) at night to improve skin quality.

The daytime routine is focused on protecting the skin from external agents, so photoprotection is crucial. In addition, antioxidants can be used to combat oxidative damage. On the other hand, the nighttime routine seeks to optimize skin health by applying transformative agents, which should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist, especially if they are irritating.

The basics include:

1. Cleaning.
2. Sunscreen.

For a more complete routine, you can add an antioxidant serum (such as vitamin C). If you want more hydration, you can include a moisturizer before the sunscreen. The order would be:

Cleansing → Antioxidant serum → Hydration → Sunscreen → Makeup (if applied).

In the nighttime routine, cleansing and applying a treatment product, such as retinoids or hydroxy acids, are essential. It is advisable to avoid using other products after applying these agents. The order would be:

Cleaning → Treatment product.

Facial cleansing is crucial to remove residue and prepare the skin for products. It is recommended to:

1. Use a surfactant (essential) in gel, foam or micellar solution format, applying it morning and night.
2. Exfoliation (recommended) can be weekly or daily, depending on the product.
3. Toner (optional) to restore the skin's pH after cleansing.

For an anti-aging routine, active ingredients such as retinol, which stimulates cell renewal and improves skin texture, and antioxidants such as vitamin C, which protect against oxidative damage, are recommended. These ingredients help keep the skin young and healthy.

A well-structured skincare routine can improve the overall health of the skin, helping to treat specific conditions and maintain a balance in the skin barrier. By following the rule of “less is more”, irritations can be avoided and longer lasting and more satisfactory results can be achieved.
