Sequence Matters

The skin’s job is mostly to keep things out, however there are many ingredients that we want in. And we can only absorb a small amount of ingredients no matter how good. When we apply them in a correct sequence, we get best results from what goes in.

Glow ‘With The’ Flow™

The Stark Naked™ Glow Flow™ seven step plan is a way to layer your skin care to get the most from botanically derived ingredients. A good rule of thumb is to layer with thinnest to thickest, and from liquids to oils. Ingredients that you want to penetrate the dermis such as serums should go on to go in, before ingredients that you want on top of the dermis.

Daytime products should help protect, while nighttime products can focus on treatment. When you can, allow time between steps to give ingredients time to react with your skin.
