By following the right order of layering your products, you can maximize their benefits. So, avoid wasting your products by following the wrong order and damaging your skin; you should start following the right routine. 

In this blog, you will learn about how to layer face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen correctly. It will help your skin retain its moisture, restore its skin barrier, and stay healthy. 

Why Should You Follow the Right Order of Skincare

Following the right order of skincare can impact your skin. You cannot apply your sunscreen first and then wash it off. Moreover, you cannot start your skincare without washing your face. Every step in your routine contains its own benefits. 

All of the products have different textures, ingredients, and properties. Therefore, you need to follow the right order for better absorption and results. Thus, a universal process of cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection remains the simplest rule in skincare. 

Correct Skincare Layering: Step-by-Step

Here’s how you should layer your face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the right way. Follow this step-by-step guide and witness the results on your skin health. 

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing with a Suitable Face Wash

Always start your day or skincare routine by cleansing your face. Your pores are prone to accumulating buildup from your night skincare routine or throughout the day. Therefore, it is vital to wash your face twice a day to remove all the buildup. 

Cleansing helps in removing all the dirt, sweat, sebum, and impurities from the pores. It results in fresher skin and a clean base for the other products to absorb in a better way. You can choose Jenpharm’s face wash according to your skin type:

• DermiVe Moisturizing Wash: Hydrating Face wash for dry and sensitive skin with Ceramides and Zinc PCA. It helps protect the skin barrier, hydrates skin, and soothes inflammation. 

You can choose your gentle cleanser from among these options offered by Jenpharm. 

Step 2: Apply a Moisturizer

Cleansing strips off all the moisture from your face and makes it feel tight. Therefore, it is vital to top it with a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type. The next step after washing your face is a moisturizer. It helps restore the moisture and maintain the skin barrier. 

Jenpharm’s recommendations for Moisturizers:

• Dermive Oil Free Moisturizer: Best medicated lightweight moisturizer in Pakistan with hyaluronic acid and ceramides. It is suitable for normal and oily skin. 

• Dermive Sensitive Moisturizer: It works for dry and sensitive skin due to its non-fragrant formula and oat kernel oil. It is soothing for inflamed skin and protects the skin barrier in dry skin. 

• Dermive Oily: This moisturizer contains Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and white soft paraffin. It works for dry skin and conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dry patches. 

• Dermive Urea: Dermive Urea moisturizer contains 10% Urea, Vitamin E, and glycerin, which makes it suitable for dry, sensitive, and combination skin. 

Step 3: Finish with Sunscreen

Always end your morning skincare routine with sunscreen. It helps protects your screen against harmful UV rays. Sunscreen after a moisturizer targets premature aging, pigmentation, sunburn, and dullness. Therefore, it is important to apply sunscreen 15-20 minutes before going out. 

Never skip sunscreen during the day, even if you are staying indoors. Apply a generous amount every day, frequently, to avoid sun damage. Applying sun protection with cleansing or moisturizing may not work effectively. Therefore, you should wash your face, apply a moisturizer, and end with a sunscreen.
