Are you applying your skin care products in the right order?

Does it matter if you're applying your skin care products in the right order?

The answer is YES!

You might have the most amazing skin care routine in the world but if your applying them in the wrong order, it can prevent your skin from receiving the full benefits. with all the serums, moisturisers and toners out there it can get seriously overwhelming figuring out the right order in which to apply them.

  • cleanser -
    start your morning of with a gentle cleanser. rinse and repeat this step to get rid of every scrap of dirt from your skin. the first cleanse gets rid of the surface grime, while the second cleanse gets right into your pores.
  • toner -
    so using a toner is a great way to finish of the first step and to ensure that all dirt and oils are wiped away. skipping toner make all the effort of the first steps pointless as residual dirt may still remain. 
  • serum (optional) -
    I think that everyone can benefit from incorporating a serum into their routine. they're are essential for those who have dry or dehydrated skin as an underneath layer for creams and oils. serums are a great solution for dull skin, fine lines and uneven skin tone. the general rule with face creams is that your should start with the lightest products first so they absorb in to the skin quicker.
  • eye cream -
    most people think that eye cream goes on after your moisturiser, when in fact it goes on before. much like serums they are very thin in consistency so they are going to absorb into the skin quicker. with the skin around your eyes being very different to the rest of your face and being very thin, you want to take care of that area of your face.
  • moisturiser -
    moisturisers can help quench dry skin and also double as an eye cream. if your skin is normal to oily, you may be able to get away with a serum alone as not everyone will needs a moisturiser. keep in mind that when moisturiser are to heavy and rich that they can sometimes trigger breakouts.
  • facial oil (optional) -
    not everyone has to use a oil, but if you do. it should always be after your moisturiser and should be the last step in your routine. this is because it acts like a barrier. locking in the benefits of the moisturiser and the other products. applying oils over time can really improve the state of your skin. 

I hope this helps everyone with their routine. when coming to your routine the general rule is to apply your products from thinnest to thickest in consistency. anything light will have an easier time absorbing into your skin, while anything thicker and creamier should be left till last to lock everything in. 

let me know in the comments of this works for you!

Review: Morphe 39s Such a Gem Palette

So i have recently gotten a new found love for Morphe eyeshadow palettes. I'm not a one to go and buy high end palettes straight away but when there's one you really want and you know you'll get a lot of use out of it then why not. I do love my drugstore palettes and they are what i buy more, but i do like to have more higher end palettes in my collection as well. Purple eyeshadow is one of my favourite to use as i just love how it looks and my looks always turn out so good, so that is one of the main reasons that i bought this palette. They have added 2 new formulas to this palettes which they have never done before, those being new silk toppers and 1 pressed glitter formula. This palette retails for £35 but if you use the code "ADOPTLOVE" it gives you 10% of your order and also helps out animal shelters. It makes me happy that there is a discount code for this. The layout of this palette i really like, it has the same layout to the James Charles...

Morphe 35M Boss Mood Artistry Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

I've found that when it comes to Morphe you either love them or you don't. I haven't tried to many items from Morphe before, but what i have tried i have always loved the quality of. I think their quality and price point is like no other, £23 for a 35 pan eyeshadow palette is incredible. So Morphe are always releasing new palettes but not many of them have ever really caught my eye before until the 35m boss mood artistry palette, It's so gorgeous. The pan size of the shadows are huge you defiantly get a lot included inside and would last you ages. What drew me to this palette to begin with was all of the green shades included, in my collection i don't have any other palettes that have the same shade range as this, so that is why i bought it, and mainly because i fell in love with the glitter infused metallic shades which instantly give a gorgeous effect. Morphe have recently changed the packaging of their 35 pan eyeshadow palettes so that they are more sleek ...
