2. Infinity Day SpaAs we venture into the holidays and the winter, it’s important to know how to effectively apply our skin care to look and feel the best we can. Here are some tips from Infinity Day Spa and Eminence skin care to set you in the right direction! Serums, concentrates and oils are high-value skin care products, so every drop counts! If you’ve ever wondered if you’re using too much product or applying too frequently, we have some simple tips so you don’t waste a single dollop of these luxurious facial oils or serums.How To Layer Serums, Oils & ConcentratesWe recently looked at the best serum or oil for your skin type in this blog. All your skin care products should be used in a specific order to get the most out of each product. Ideally, you want to limit your selection to one to two serums, oils and/or concentrates so they can effectively absorb into the skin. We advise applying your skin care products beginning with the thinnest consistency and ending with the richest:
   1. Serums
   2. Concentrates
   3. Oils

   After cleansing and toning, start with layering your facial serum, the thinnest consistency product, as it delivers active ingredients into the skin most efficiently. Concentrates are next, followed by facial oils. Facial oils come last as they’re designed to prevent water loss and “seal” the formulations in the skin.Infinity Day Spa can customize your skin care needs and help you get into that winter regime. We have the perfect Christmas gift, the gift of beauty! Call 434-616-2209 or visit our website at InfinityDaySpaVA.com today for products, services or gift certificates!
