MIXING vs. LAYERING PRODUCTS? Expert Advice: A Dermatologist's Take On This Beauty Trend Every day there seems to be a story on the next hottest, newest, best anti-aging ingredient that will dramatically change and simplify your beauty routine. You think about it a bit and realize that none of your products have this ingredient. You wonder if simply adding one ingredient can make a difference. For skin care, there is not only a plethora of DIY recipes, but many claim that all you have to do is add that ingredient to your cream already being used. Many others claim that it is important to leave each product formulation alone, but simply layer multiple products. Which approach is the best way to get beautiful skin? An expert weighs in.
DO I MIX? Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, practicing dermatologist and founder of Epionce clinical skin care, advises not to mix. He equates the rules of formulation chemistry to cooking. There is a marked difference between a meal cooked at home vs. one created by a professionally trained chef. There are certain steps that need to be followed, seasonings added at a specific time, cooking time and temperatures - all factors that culminate into the perfect dish. As with cooking, there is a scientific process that needs to be followed when developing products that feel good and actually work.
