What is layering?
Layering: The art of the natural beauty ritual from Asia An ancestral ritual perfectly adapted to today's beauty. Cosmetic layering, also called "millefeuille" or "superposition" in French, is a skin care technique of Asian origin. The past meets the present in the layering technique "This practice has its origins in the beauty rituals of the Japanese imperial court where noble ladies already used several layers of care to preserve the radiance and youthfulness of their skin. Today, this method has been brought up to date by Korean skincare and has become popular throughout the world and is an essential routine for those looking for a fresh, luminous complexion and perfectly healthy skin.

The principle of layering It consists of applying several light skincare products in successive layers, from the lightest to the thickest, in order to optimize the absorption and effectiveness of each product. Layering is based on a series of precise steps, each with a well-defined function. Contrary to the popular belief that multiplying products weighs down the skin, this method on the contrary allows you to meet the specific needs of the epidermis while maximizing the absorption of active ingredients.

Is layering effective?
You are probably wondering if layering is an effective technique? Yes, because this technique makes you truly attentive to your skin and its needs. The objective is simple: cleanse, moisturize and protect the skin using suitable products, applied in a rigorous order. Thus, each treatment prepares the skin to receive the next one, making the entire ritual more effective. The 6 essential steps of layering with Clairjoie
1. Makeup removal This first step is essential to rid the skin of impurities accumulated throughout the day. Using a makeup remover oil dissolves makeup, even waterproof, without damaging the skin.
2. Cleansing After removing makeup, a gentle cleansing gel removes the last residue and deeply purifies the skin. This double step ensures a clear complexion and prevents the appearance of imperfections.
3. Applying a tonic lotion The tonic lotion completes the cleansing by rebalancing the skin's pH and providing it with a first dose of hydration. Based on floral waters and plant extracts, our lotions refresh and soothe the epidermis.
4. The serum Concentrated in powerful active ingredients, the serum is a key step in layering. It targets specific issues such as hydration, firmness or radiance of the complexion. Its fluid texture penetrates quickly and prepares the skin to receive the following treatment.
5. Eye contour The skin around the eyes is thinner and more fragile, so it requires specific care. Applying an eye contour helps reduce signs of fatigue, dark circles and puffiness while providing targeted hydration.
6. Moisturizing cream The last step of the ritual, the moisturizing cream seals in moisture and protects the skin against external aggressions. It forms a barrier that maintains the benefits of previous treatments throughout the day or night.
