A rule of thumb when layering your skincare products is that you should do it from thin to thick; moisturizer should be last because of its density. You should also consider how effective you want them to be; you may want to apply your acne treatment before the moisturizer so it is more effective.

Getting Ready for the Day

1. Cleanser

   One of the first things you should do after waking up is to apply cleanser gently. You don’t need to clean it thoroughly so you may just splash it away.

2. Toner

   A cleanser´s effectiveness is limited. Being that, using a toner may be a good way to make sure you remove all dirt and oils from your face. Avoid cleansers that contain alcohol.

3. Serum

   Let´s focus solving your problem areas. Serums can help you with uneven skin tones, fine lines and more.

4. Moisturizer

   You should use moisturizer regardless of your type of skin.

5. Eye Cream

   Using an eye cream after applying moisturizer will help you since the skin around your eyes is different from the rest of the face and it will help you combat fine lines, this is true for all types of skin.

Getting Ready for Sleeping

1. Cleanse

   Just as you did in the morning, apply a stronger cleanser that can help you clean the dirt from the day.

2. Toner

   A toner is especially important during the night because it will help you get rid of the impurities of the day.

3. Acne Treatment

   You should always apply your acne treatment just after cleansing your skin.

4. Serum

   Wait until your treatment dries and later add serum.

5. Night Cream

   Apply your night cream. Night creams are different to moisturizers in the way that they absorb into the skin and how hydrating they can be.

6. Eye Cream

   Do the same you did in the morning.

7. Facial Oil

   This is recommended for people with dry skin. Apply it gently on your skin. Face oils can help improve the overall state of your skin.

Even though we mostly care about our interactions, there´s something definite about making a good first impression and this is your physical appearance. Starting with good hygiene and all the way to the way you dress, it all has to make you feel confident so you can express that confidence. Being it, it is of high importance that you also feel confident about the way you smell.

Whether you like citric smells, or enjoy the classic woody smells. You still have plenty of questions you need to answer before selecting the right perfume for your date. My first suggestion to narrow that list of questions down is you shouldn´t go for a strong scent. Your perfume should give a clean and fresh impression. The perfume should be soft because you have no idea of the other person´s preferences and whether they have a perfume allergy or not. Besides, it might be a little bit of a turn off if the perfume you wear won´t let the other person breathe because of its strength.As we have mentioned about the application of perfume, it should be applied subtly on your pulse points after taking a bath since the water might have opened your pores and helps your perfume to last longer.

Avoid common perfume mistakes such as applying it to your clothes or mixing it up with scented skincare products that do not match the scent you own. However, you should keep in mind other mistakes like applying perfume on your neck or places where you might expect to be kissed; the chemical flavor of your perfume could ruin a magical moment for you!

To conclude, what you need to care about includes the suggestions mentioned above but also what type of person you want to present yourself as. First impressions last, and you don’t want to give the wrong one. What you definitely want your date to remember is you subtle smell and your warm and engaging charisma.

1.Find the Right Spot to Place your Perfume

Whatever place you decide to store your perfume at needs to be away from direct sun light as it may damage its bottle. Perfumes usually last longer if stored in darker places such as a closet or a drawer.

Another factor you need to keep in mind is that you should store your perfume in place with consistent temperature. Extremely high or low temperature may affect your perfume´s quality. The kitchen and the bathroom should definitely be off-limits, since they are bound to get hot when cooking or showering respectively.

Humid places are not the right place for a perfume. Humidity may have a negative effect on its quality so you should find dry places. This is another case against storing perfume in the bathroom.

A refrigerator might be a good place to store your perfume, this is only if it is not too cold. It might seem strange to look at perfumes so close to your food but the temperature is consistent and it is away from direct sunlight. However, if your food keeps usually freezing on your fridge it is a bad idea to store you perfume there. It might damage your perfume.

A closet is another great option as it usually complies with what we have mentioned above.

2.The Right Perfume Container

You should always try to keep your perfume on its original bottle. If you transfer it to another recipient, perfume will get in contact with air which may cause it to lose some of its smell.

You should your perfume´s bottle on its original or any other box as long as it is possible. Boxes will further protect perfumes from heat and direct sunlight. Before storing your perfume in a box, make sure its cap is not leaking.

Get yourself some travel containers. Choose travel friendly bottles, especially if you have to fly. They are a good idea since there´s always a chance of losing your perfume when traveling and nobody wants to lose the whole thing! Even though we mentioned not transferring perfume to another container it is always best if you need to travel.

3.Avoiding Damage

Always keep the cap on when storing your perfume. As you probably know now, the more exposed a perfume is to air the higher the chance it will lose its smell.

Some people shake their perfume bottles prior to using them, this is generally a bad idea as it may expose it to excess air. Avoid doing this at all costs.

Perfume applicators may work when used correctly, but if you don’t take care they might introduce bacteria and oils to the bottle.

Fragrance is usually the unisex term for all scents made up by a certain amount of fragrance, oil, alcohol and water. Each type of fragrance is named differently according to its concentration. This is how it goes:

• Eau Fraiche:

  This is the most watered type of fragrance, usually containing between 1%-3% perfume, oil, alcohol and water. It will usually last less than 3 hours.

• Cologne (Eau de Cologne):

  This is the oldest term used for perfume and refers mainly to masculine fragrances. This is usually light, fresh with fruity notes. Its concentration ranges from 2%-4% of perfume, oil, alcohol and water. It may last about 4 hours.

• Toilette (Eau de Toilette):

  This mixture is made out of 5%-15% pure perfume essence dissolved in alcohol. It may last for up to 6 hours.

• Perfume (Eau de Parfum):

  Known to be genderless, it may describe both men´s and women´s fragrances. Its concentration range between 15%-20$ pure perfume essence. It may last from 6 up to 8 hours.

• Perfume:

  Inspired by the Latin phrase “perf fumum”. This is the most concentrated and thus the most expensive type of fragrance. Perfume´s concentration might vary from 20%-30% pure perfume essence. This fragrance application might last up to 12 hours.

This is the perfect moment to add any body care products since it is the time your skin is the most receptive. It will make it easier to apply body butters, moisturizers and rich oils. Make sure you are using a scent-free moisturizer.

2. Spray it!

At this point, your skin is most likely a bit warmer, so it is a good time to spray your perfume since the warmth will help you diffuse it. The moisturizer will have smoothed your skin, making a bed for your perfume´s molecule and allowing it to stay longer.

3. Aim at Your Pulse Points

Spray your perfume directly on your pulse points. These are warm spots such as the wrists, neck and behind your ears, don´t try to spritz and then walk into a cloud of perfume since the fragrance molecules are fast and will likely be on the floor before you can even sense it. If you want it to last longer, apply Vaseline to create a foundation for your perfume.

4. Avoid Rubbing Your Wrists Together at all Costs

Since it will deconstruct your fragrance and will make it last for less time. It means the first notes you sense will fade quicker and the fragrance vanish out before you even go out.

5. Use Some Scented Body Wash

Spend some quality time by yourself and get ready at the same time! Using a scented body wash will help you blend floral and musky notes. It will also release a hint of fragrance whenever you rub your skin.

6. If You are Adding Perfume to Your Body Lotion

Make sure you are using a jar instead of a bottle as it will be easier to mix. Add a couple of drops of pure scented oil or essential oil to an unscented lotion. Add some more depending on the smell you want to acquire.

7. How to Tone Down a Perfume You Don´t Like

Use a cotton ball moist with rubbing alcohol. This will help you remove a fond you are not enjoying. Rub the cotton on your skin and let it dry. If that doesn´t work, create a paste of equal parts baking soda and water and apply it.

8. Don´t Store Scents in the Bathroom

Avoid storing perfumes and fragrances in the bathroom since they are broken down by heat, humidity and light which ultimately makes them smell funny. Place them on your dresser or side table. If you have perfumes you only wear seasonally, you may put them plastic bag in the fridge. The plastic bag will prevent it from losing its fragrance while the fridge will protect it from heat and light.
