You know that if you open a drawer in your bathroom, you will find more than 10 or 15 different facial care products. And you know perfectly well that you don't use many of them... Whether out of impulse, based on a recommendation, or because you are worried about many aspects of your skin, you have bought several specific serums and creams that, in the end, haven't given you results and you have chosen to leave them forgotten in that drawer.
That is why at Atache we want to make your life easier. Our products are formulated with combinations of synergistic ingredients that enhance their action when applied together and are truly effective. Our beauty routines are simple and our philosophy is based on natural care inspired by Korean rituals.
One of these Asian routines is layering. If you don't know it, pay attention, because it will help you correctly apply the necessary cosmetics and you will be able to create your ideal routine in a few simple steps.
Layering or the layering system consists of applying products in layers depending on their density. You have to start with the least dense products and finish with the heavy creams. This ensures that the different layers of product are efficiently absorbed into the skin.
- STEP 1: Makeup removal
The Korean technique relies on the use of vegetable oils to remove impurities and wipe away makeup residue. Although the texture may seem oily at first, it is one of the most effective products for deep cleansing.
STEP 2: Cleanse
After this, it is essential to remove impurities, so it is recommended to cleanse the face with cold water and a cleansing gel.
STEP 3: Apply lotion
This stage helps prepare for the application of other treatments. Lotions help to minimize pores, purify the skin, and add radiance.
- STEP 4: Serum
The key for this technique to be effective is not to apply more than 3 serums. The order is also fundamental. Although in principle the rule is to apply the serum in order of concern, it is always important to take texture into account.
That is why we will apply the lightest one first, gently massaging the face for 15 seconds at a time. This is one of the keys to the success of this Korean beauty discipline: that each serum has been completely absorbed before applying the next one.
- STEP 5: Eye contour
You have to keep in mind that this area of the face is the most delicate, since the skin is especially thin and therefore requires a specific product.
STEP 6: Moisturizer
Moisturizer is essential for any skin type to protect us from external aggressions and to seal in the treatment with the serums we have chosen.
- STEP 7: Sunscreen
Although this is the last step of layering, for us it is very important. Applying a high sun protection factor is essential and will help protect the skin from solar radiation and its harmful effects on the oxidation and aging of our cells.
Seen this way, it doesn't seem so complicated, right? Now you can put it into practice and rescue some of the products from your drawer.
