“This should be a given, but who has never applied moisturizer over makeup after coming back home at 3pm? Come on, we all did it at least once.” Uh, no we all HAVEN’T. Why in God’s name would anyone put a moisturizer OVER makeup?? Aside from destroying your makeup, what would the result me? An oily mess?

In reply to Rashmi.

Rashmi, to answer your questions:

1. Only use acids. Better absorption often leads to irritation. Besides not all ingredients in a serum are meant to be absorbed by the skin.
2. They have an effect but it’s minimal.
3. A skincare regime should include what YOUR skin needs, not what’s popular at the moment.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Gio, I'm definitely gonna start using acids. I believe, I want to start with lactic, as it also hydrates. Excited to try. One question though, if I'm using acids, can I use a sonic massager like the oriflame sonic 3 in 1once a week, or will it be too much for my skin? I just want better penetration of my serums.Does a silk pillow actually allows better absorption of products or delaying wrinkles, or it's just a myth or marketing technique? What are your opinions?Should a skincare regimen include, acids, retinols and niacinamide/euk, how to include them. I'm sorry for so many questions.. Just a little confused with many products out there. Thank you so much.

In reply to Rashmi. Rashmi, stop using ACV cos it's too drying. Instead, exfoliate 3 nights a week with an acid. This post above helps you pick the best one for your skin type.

Hi Gio, it’s a great post. I exfoliate once a week and I doubt, I m layering wrong. I wash my face with a sulphate free gel cleanser and use diluted acv as a toner, apply cold pressed argan oil as a serum and layer it with shea butter lotion. It worked for me, But post my tired schedule, i stopped exfoliating,just on and off for a year maybe nowadays i feel like my skin’s texture is not that smooth except after exfoliating, only for a day and my complexion too is getting dull, my skin is still normal and not that dry too but it lacks that glow,looks tired and not bouncy? I used the clarisonic for two to three mins twice a week, but now i feel even more dryness.What change i ought to do?

In reply to Leslee. Leslee, that's nice. I'm glad you found a way to exfoliate that leaves your skin soft without irritating it. :)
