How To: Correctly Apply Skin Care Products to Your Face

Skin care products need to be properly applied to do their best work and be effective. Here we show you the techniques to applying skin care products properly.

Step 1 Serum

Applying a serum or essence: Begin with a serum and put three drops into the palm of your hand and warm. Apply to your face and let skin absorb. Then cleanse with a cleansing oil, rubbing on skin until it liquifies. Remove with a tissue.

Example: SKII Essence and SKII Cleansing Oil

Step 2 Eye mask

Apply an eye mask to address fine lines and wrinkles. Simply place on eye for 5 minutes, then remove and discard.

Example: SKII's Science Eye mask

Step 3 Face mask

Apply a face mask and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes then gently remove and massage in any excess product.

Example: SKII 3D Refining Mask

Step 4 Exfoliator:

Wet your face, apply exfoliator/polish crystals and gently polish them away.

Example: DDF 400X Micro-Polishing System

Step 5 Moisturizer and toner

To moisturize, first use a wet cleansing cloth to wipe your face. Then dot moisturizer on face and massage it in, in an upward motion. Finally, use a toner and spray a light mist all over face.

Examples: Olay Total Effects Wet Cleansing Cloth, Olay ProX Hydra Firming Cream, DDF Aloe Toning Complex
