Ultimate Luxury Treatment Powder

Post by Lillpinglan » Mon May 31, 2010 5:40 pm

Hi,

I just got a sample of Ultimate Luxury Treatment Powder.. How do I use it? At night? On top of my night cream? Underneath it?

Since it is a powder, I use it last after any creams, serums, or other moisturizers.

I was just wondering (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), if powders are harder to be absorbed into the skin, as compared to liquids (serums, moisturisers, toners, etc.), would there actually be any effect in using the Ultimate Luxury Powder as the last step after the application of all those liquids?

I agree that powders are harder to absorb. There is really no rule about which layer to put the Ultimate Treatment Powder, but I think an earlier powder layer to say a serum might make more of a paste (I have not tried it, but it doesn't really sound very comfortable). Really, the powder should be applied after the other layers have had a chance to sink in.

Thanks, Jen.
In that case I guess I will layer on less if I plan to use the ULTP on my face to ensure maximum absorption where possible :)
