How do you apply skincare?

[Deleted member 7076]

I hear conflicting opinions:

1. rub it in gently so you don't irritate your skin
2. rub it and really push it in for a long time with force

is there a scientifically proved method that is optimal?

Depends on what you are using.

For any retinoid or AHA/BHA irritant rub it in gently with a single finger.

For moisturisers, cleansers and sunscreens you can be more forceful and not have to worry about irritation.

My maid applies it for me with her soft hands
Applying with Manly rough hands will age your skin, over
