How to Layer Your Lucy Bee Skincare Products for Best Results

Why Skincare Product Order Matters

You've got your skincare favourites, but are you using them in the right order? Layering your products correctly can make a big difference to how well they work. Applying products in the right order helps your skin absorb active ingredients more effectively. 

Unsure of when to apply your serums, or where exfoliants fit into your skincare routine? We’ve got you covered with this handy graphic, and it might just help answer all your questions!

1. Cleanse

We recommend to cleanse skin both morning and evening, this step helps to remove dirt, grime and daily impurities, whilst also supporting the skin barrier. For makeup removal our Reviving Cleansing Cream is the answer.  

• Hydrating Foam Face Wash is a foam face wash which cleanses the skin, simply massage into the skin and rinse off with water
• Reviving Cleansing Cream is a gentle cream cleanser, with damp hands massage into the skin and remove with a damp flannel / muslin cloth. 

You can also use these products to double cleanse, want to know more about double cleansing? Click here. We also have a handy blog which explains the difference between these products here. 

 

2. Exfoliate / Tone

After cleansing this is where you use your exfoliants. Exfoliating can help to remove dead skin cells, increase cell renewal, and unclog pores. 

For a chemical exfoliant: our Exfoliating Tonic with AHA & PHA, and an enzyme exfoliant which is our Moringa & Pineapple Enzyme Face Mask.

If using just the Exfoliating Tonic with AHA & PHA this can be used both morning and evening. If new to chemical exfoliants it would be worth building up when using it, so start by using once a day.  

If using just our Moringa & Pineapple Enzyme Face Mask, we recommend using this once a week and leaving it on for 10-15 minutes. 

If using 2 or more types of exfoliants, avoid using these on the same day, this can lead to over exfoliation of the skin and may cause irritation and sensitivity.

When using exfoliants it is especially important and essential to wear SPF daily to protect the skin against UV rays

 

3. Serums 

Serums contain active ingredients in them which have specific benefits to the skin, they absorb quickly into the skin, they are applied after cleansing and exfoliating and before you apply your moisturiser. 

Our Vitamin C Illuminating Super Serum can be used both morning and evening (if desired), it contains vitamin C to help brighten and protect the skin and a pearlescent pigment giving an iridescent shimmer which catches the sunlight for an instantly flawless glow.

 

4. Eye Cream

The delicate skin around your eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your face and can make it more prone to the signs of ageing. Using an eye cream can help target specific concerns and helps to nourish and protected. 

Our Retinol Alternative Anti-Ageing Eye Cream can be used both morning and night, and contains a vitamin A alternative (called Vit-A-Like) which helps with the appearance of fine lines and skin firmness. 

 

5. Facial Oil

Facial oils are a great way of adding in extra hydration to your skin, along with active ingredients, vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Indulge your skin with our unscented, silky, antioxidant-rich Facial Oil, designed to nourish, hydrate, and enhance your skin. Packed with vitamin E, rosemary extract, and squalane, this powerhouse formula supports a more youthful-looking complexion. The infusion of pink microalgae helps visibly brighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots, leaving your skin looking smoother and more radiant. 

 

6. Moisturise 

Moisturising using the Radiance-Boosting Face Cream is the last step in the Lucy Bee skincare range routine, and should be done both in the morning and evening. Moisturising your skin helps to keep your skin hydrated and protect your skin from irritation, and environmental damage. Keeping your skin looking fresh and bright!

Optional: Naturally Glowing Self-Tan Drops, for a little extra glow add 3-5 drops to your moisturiser, mix together well and apply to your face and neck, don't forget to apply up to your hairline as well as around your ears. Use as often as you wish.

 

7. SPF

Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with our SPF 30 Face Serum. It is important to make sure you wear SPF even on cloudy days, opt for one with both UVA and UVB protection and has an SPF of 30 or higher. UV rays are the leading cause for premature skin ageing, as well as skin cancer and damage.  

Tops Tips for Layering Skincare

• Apply from thinnest to thickest consistency
• Let each layer fully absorb before applying the next 
• Don't mix too many actives as this can cause irritation and sensitivity
• Be consistent - results come with time
