SkinCare 101: The Do's with Mixing Ingredients

 Hey Guys.

 I recently posted about the don'ts in skincare ingredients but what about the do's.

I love researching what combination of ingredients will give me the best results in my routine. Similar to the previous post I will be giving a curated table about the Do's

Let's get Started!!

Do Mix	Reason
Retinol + Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, SPF	Hyaluronic acid can draw and hold water molecules to the surface layers of your skin, ceramides help seal in moisture. Retinol can make you more sensitive to the sun hence SPF
Vitamin C + Antioxidants, SPF	When combined with antioxidants (vitamin E) it can boost results and efficiency, same goes for wearing vitamin C under sunscreen
HA/BHA Acids + Moisturizing Ingredients and SPF	Moisturizing after applying AHA and BHA limits irritation. E.g. ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin to hydrate and soothe skin
Benzoyl Peroxide + Hydrating Ingredients, SPF	Can buffer the dehydrating effects of benzoyl peroxide.
Niacinamide + (almost) every ingredient in your skincare routine	Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory, causing minimal reaction to the skin and side effects such as irritation are unusual

Note guys that SPF should be applied daily for protection.

I know that it is alot of trial and error and your skin may be sensitive to and have reactions to different ingredients/ products. Fear not and don't give up beacuse the perfect combo is right around corner. The results will be worth it.

Thanks Guys, I hope you enjoyed and I will
