How to Layer Your Skincare at Night: Dr Bianca's ZO Routine Explained

Transcript

I get asked this question all the time and it's the question on everyone's lips. How do you layer skincare? I'm going to show you how to layer a really easy nighttime routine with Zio Skin Health.

We start with a cleanser. We cleanse for 60 seconds on wet skin using the cleanser to create a foam and then we wash it off thoroughly. We use a physical exfoliant like a polish or a scrub and this gets rid of all the dead skin cells that are sitting on your skin.

We then use a chemical exfoliant and these are acids that further remove dead skin and break down dead skin cells to make sure your skin is super squeaky clean ready for your actives. We then go in with a retinol if you're using a vitamin A. This is 0.25% and we apply this starting off quite slowly maybe once a week.

You then build it up to twice, three times a week, ideally every night if your skin can tolerate it. We then lock everything in with a lovely hydrator. This is quite lightweight.

There are other more heavy options if you want something more hydrating and then we finish off with a lovely eye cream. This one helps to brighten those dark circles.
