Coming straight from Asia, “Layering” arouses everyone’s interest: indeed, who doesn’t dream of having smooth, clean and imperfection-free skin like that of Japanese women?

Prized for its results, the "Millefeuille" routine, which consists of the superposition of several beauty treatments, pampers the skin and allows you to find a radiant and radiant complexion!

But what is Layering and how to proceed to have beautiful skin?

In this file, we reveal all the secrets of this traditional routine!

Layering – beautiful skin objective

Considered as a way of life, the Japanese are committed to taking care of their skin. They are also known throughout the world for their radiant, luminous and flawless complexions!

Layering or the art of Saho was naturally developed in Japan and Korea, temple of cosmetics 💄.

This traditional method means "Superimposition of several layers", it consists of applying several cosmetic products to your face in order to obtain clear, smooth and clear skin.

The routine takes place in 7 steps that allow you to cancel the negative effects of each gesture previously performed:

1. Make-up removal,
2. cleaning,
3. applying a mist,
4. moisturizing the eye contour,
5. applying a serum,
6. applying a moisturizer
7. and finally a lip balm.

Yes, it may seem like a lot, but in reality each step is essential to bring all the nutrients to your skin.

Unfortunately, at a time when 3-in-1 products are flourishing and enjoying real success for their practicality, it must be admitted that they do not fully cover all the needs of your skin. Indeed, you don't treat an eye contour the same way as you treat your T zone 😅.

So no, don't worry, Layering doesn't require 1 hour of free time! In reality, each step does not have to be done Morning and Evening.

In the morning, you will only need 6 minutes to look radiant, in the evening this routine will require 10 minutes of your time: not so terrible for having beautiful skin 😉!

Layering – in which order to proceed?

Are you convinced by the technique and want to convert to it? Here are all the steps to follow to achieve perfect skin!

1/ The art of oil make-up removal (even if you are not wearing make-up!)

With or without make-up, it is always necessary to carry out a double cleaning of the face. Oil make-up removal is therefore a non-negotiable step!

It removes not only makeup, but also all the pollutants and other dirt that we accumulate during the day in transport, the street, etc. Find out more about this fair process here ;).

This step is to be done every night :).

2/ Clean your skin properly

This step is essential to obtain beautiful skin. It is mandatory to remove residues of oil, make-up or even cosmetics, leave on overnight with a facial cleanser or risk clogging your pores and creating imperfections.

Once the cleansing is done, the skin is perfectly clean and free of impurities.

Be careful, choose a cleanser adapted to your skin type. The more sensitive your skin is, the more you should opt for a neutral PH cleanser :).

This step should be done in the evening (and in the morning, if you wish)

3/ Apply a mist or lotion

When you rinse your skin with water, a thin layer of limestone sticks to the epidermis. Results ? Many people experience tightness, dryness and discomfort after cleansing their face.

To counter this negative effect, rebalance the skin and rinse it of limestone by spraying a mist or applying a tonic lotion.

Instantly, it soothes the skin and relieves it of all its discomforts. Most ? Applying its care on damp skin promotes absorption and hydration of the skin.

Our advice: We opt for a mist, tonic lotion or floral water that treats a problem of our skin.

To be done morning and evening!

4/ Treat your skin with a serum

The serum is a concentrated treatment, rich in active ingredients.

It will treat the problem you have in depth and complement the action of the moisturizer.

It is light and quickly penetrates the skin, no risk of finishing shiny with it 😉

Apply before the moisturizer.

Apply morning and evening.

5/ Pamper your eye area

No, you should not wait for the first wrinkles or fine lines of dehydration to take care of your eye contour.

Often put to the test with the correctors and the make-up imposed on it, it is important to treat it to avoid damaging it.

The skin around the eye being ultra-thin and sensitive, it must be taken care of with good care, which will not be too rich or too aggressive. You can choose an eye contour that will target wrinkles, fine lines or your dark circles 🙂

This step should be done morning and evening.

6/ Hydrate the skin with a moisturizer

The moisturizer will complete the action of the serum and bring softness and comfort to the skin.

You can also opt for a balm, a simple vegetable oil or a natural face oil as a substitute. Only your feelings and your desires count 😉

This step is essential in the morning and in the evening.

7/ Feeding your lips

The lips are not to be neglected. You will not apply lipstick on dry and damaged lips! They must therefore be hydrated and nourished to keep them soft and smooth.

This step is to be done every evening and as soon as you feel the need 🙂
