6 Ways to Increase Penetration of All Those Active Skin Changing Ingredients!

1. Steam your face!
The last facial I had from an aesthetician I almost drowned in the steam, but my face looked amazing after!

Your skin will drink up more of your skin care ingredients if it’s in high humidity and increased temperature.

2. Exfoliate consistently!
Think of dead skin as a physical barrier to your fresh, healthy skin. When you remove them you allow the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin.

3. Apply serums when your skin is still damp.
The skin is a lot more absorbent when it’s damp (which is why Korean women slather on their skincare products within seconds after cleansing and rinsing).

4. Layer properly!
Active ingredients with smaller molecules penetrate the skin, while larger molecules like in creams sit on top of the skin for protection. Small first (like serums), large last (like moisturizers, oils and sunscreens).

5. Look for natural skin care with a delivery system like Dr. Lucy.
Your skin needs all the help it can get to make use of the potent active ingredients you put on it.

6. Increase the volume.
Apply an anti-aging serum all over your face instead of, say, your forehead will increase absorption by skin, which means it will uptake more active ingredients for its benefit.
