With so many skincare products on the market, it’s easy to wonder: Are skincare routines worth it? The short answer? Yes! A well-structured skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. However, the key to unlocking long-term results lies in effective product layering and consistent application.
At Face Junkie, we believe skincare should be simple yet powerful, which is why we developed the Hero Collection Skincare Bundle – a perfectly curated 6-step routine that eliminates the guesswork. Let’s dive into why following a skincare routine is worth it and how to layer products correctly for maximum benefits.
Why Following a Skincare Routine Matters
Our skin goes through constant changes due to environmental factors, stress, diet and ageing. A consistent skincare routine helps to:
-
Strengthen the skin barrier
-
Prevent premature ageing
-
Reduce breakouts and inflammation
-
Improve hydration and overall skin texture
However, skincare is not a quick fix – it takes time and consistency is key. Results don’t happen overnight, but a well-crafted routine provides long-lasting benefits when followed diligently.
The Art of Effective Product Layering
One of the most common mistakes people make is applying skincare products in the wrong order. Proper layering ensures that each product absorbs effectively and delivers its intended benefits. Here’s how to do it right:
Our Morning Routine: Cleanse, Protect & Hydrate
-
Cleanser (#1 Brightening Cleanser with glycolic acid, salicylic acid & neroli oil) – Removes dirt and oil, and preps skin for the day.
-
Serum (#2 Triple Antioxidant Serum with vitamin c, ferulic acid & neroli oil) – Protect and preserves your skin from environmental damage, helping to prevent premature ageing, discolouration, and dullness
-
Moisturiser + SPF (#3 Hydrating Day Cream + SPF20) – Locks in moisture while providing essential sun protection.
Our Evening Routine: Repair & Regenerate
-
Cleansing Oil (#4 Antioxidant Cleansing Oil) – Dissolves makeup, sunscreen and impurities.
-
Serum (#5 Super Hydrating Serum) – A 100% pure skincare solution formulated with high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, a potent natural ingredient known for its powerful hydrating properties.
-
Night Cream (#6 Pro Collagen Night Cream) – Deeply nourishes and repairs the skin overnight.
By following this structured system, your skin receives the right ingredients in the correct order, maximising their effectiveness.
Understanding Skin Purging: What to Expect
When introducing new skincare products, particularly active ingredients like exfoliants or vitamin c, you may experience skin purging. This happens when deep-seated impurities come to the surface, leading to temporary breakouts. Unlike regular breakouts, purging is a sign that the product is working to clear out congestion and improve skin health. Read more about skin purging in our blog here.
How to manage purging:
-
Stick with your routine – don’t stop using the product too soon.
-
Keep your skin hydrated and protected with gentle, nourishing ingredients.
-
Allow 4 – 6 weeks for the skin to adjust and see visible improvements.
