IGNAE SERUM DISCOVERY KIT- HOW TO USE IT?

IGNAE SERUM DISCOVERY KIT- HOW TO USE IT?

The 3 serums kit brings together the most concentrated Ignae products, which elevate your skin care routine to the next level. And since we are offering 3 products, an inevitable question arises: How can we make the best use of each formula? In this article we promise to make it plain and simple!

Enriched regenerating serum

By concentrating a wide variety of active ingredients, Enriched regenerating serum is ideal for those days when we only have time to apply serum and sun protection, or for those nights when we prefer a quick and efficient skincare routine. Thanks to the hydrating and filling effectiveness of hyaluronic acid, which is present in 4 molecular weights, and acetyl hexapeptide-8, which minimizes expression wrinkles, this serum provides you a feeling of instant gratification. At the same time, vitamin C, ectoine and EPC Factor® form a potent antioxidant and anti-pollution combination. For regenerating the skin barrier, the Enriched regenerating serum also contains niacinamide and panthenol.

Blue light serum

It is much more than a blue light protective serum! Blue light serum is ideal to apply before sun exposure, in urban everyday life, and it also can be used as a soothing moisturizer whenever the skin is more sensitive. In Blue light serum you can find find a potent combination of antioxidants, which constitute the EPC Factor®. Its protective action is increased due to the presence of ectoine and Inula helenium extract, which are capable of shielding the skin from blue light and UVA radiation. These radiations reach the collagen and elastin reserves through sun exposure, and while stimulating the development of dark spots. In addition, Blue light serum contains panthenol, which is widely recognized as a skin barrier regenerator.

Rich night serum

Our night care of choice is without a doubt Rich night serum. This product stands out for its high bakuchiol concentration, a well-tolerated plant ingredient capable of acting on genes activated by retinol. This ingredient, in combination with vitamin E and coenzyme Q10, allows to reduce wrinkles and sagging, by promoting the production of new collagen, and accelerating the epidermal renewal. Additionally, and since the skin tends to dehydrate more during the night, the Rich night serum combines squalane and vegetable oils from rosehip, grape, and argan plants, with high emollient action and fast absorption. Rich night serum can also be applied after Blue light serum, for a more hydrating and calming night routine, or after Enriched regenerating serum, for a superior regenerating action.

HOW TO LAYER SKINCARE ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS

HOW TO LAYER SKINCARE ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS

How to layer skincare according to your needs

The effectiveness of the skincare routine depends not only on choosing the best products, but also on the order of application!

Among serums, creams, oils, and so many other products, applying your skincare routine in the right order can get challenging. And so that there are no doubts when it comes to taking care of your skin, we’ve created the ultimate guide for skincare layering.

It all starts with cleansing

Your routine will hardly be effective if you don’t start by cleansing the skin! This step not only ensures that make-up and products applied during the day are removed, but it also eliminates the accumulated dust and pollution [1]. Additionally, skin cleansing allows you to accelerate the epidermal natural renewal through facial massage and exfoliating ingredients, such as acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic) and enzymes (bromelain, papain).

 

Seal it with the creams, balms and nourishing oils

These products share a high lipid content in their composition, which provides them the ability to prevent water evaporation from the skin and promote the penetration of ingredients contained in previously applied products [2]. Therefore, creams, balms and oils of superior consistency should be applied at the end of the skincare routine. If your skin is dry, you can also layer light creams with heavier balms and oils.

 

What about sunscreen?

Sunscreen is essential to prevent premature signs of aging, which is why we recommend you use it every day [3]. But sunscreens are only effective if the sun filters are homogeneously dispersed over the skin. Therefore, we recommend you to keep the morning routine as simple as possible, by applying sunscreen over your serum, for a lighter finish on oily and combination skin, or over a moisturizer if your skin is dryer.

 

Move to the eye cream

The skin around the eyes is very thin, permeable, and it can easily become irritated. Therefore, eye creams should be applied before any other skincare product, so that the skin around the eyes becomes properly shielded from ingredients which may induce irritation.

 

The viscosity order

By following this rule, you will be able to maximize the penetration of active ingredients through the skin. When the skin is clean, products should be applied starting with the most liquid textures, such as mists, toners or essences, and moving on to more consistent textures, such as gels, fluids and emulsions. Noteworthy, there are also light oils with high concentrations of active ingredients that can be applied at this stage.
