Tip of the Day: 24.06.2022

A reminder of how to use retinoid products, if you want to introduce them into your routine. Allow your skin to become accustomed to them, as they can in some cases cause redness and flaking. Start by applying every third night. If you’re not dry or flaky after another two weeks, use it every night. And wait 15 minutes after washing your face before applying; if skin is damp, there’s the possibility it might be absorbed too quickly and cause irritation. Never use more than a pea-sized dab for your whole face, and if skin is dry, wait till it’s sunk in and apply a moisturiser on top. In addition, don’t use it with AHAs.
