4 Ways I Tried That Made My Skin-Care Products More Effective

1. EXFOLIATE FIRST
   You have to remove the dead cells for products to get in.
2. GO IN ORDER
   Whatever goes on first penetrates best... So whether you're fighting wrinkles, zits, or sun spots, the most active ingredients should be applied first.
3. APPLY TO JUST-WASHED SKIN
   Damp skin acts like a sponge, quickly absorbing whatever comes its way. (That's damp, not wet.)
4. TRY SERUMS
   When you want maximum impact from a fragrance, you buy the perfume, not the scented body wash. Similarly, you'll find the strongest dose of active ingredients in serums not cleansers.
