Back in March I learned about a skin care brand that was new to me called Clara’s New York. They had an online event about how to properly layer different serums together hosted by Jennifer Adell (an amazing esthetician) and she shared how you can combine and put a good skin care routine together. I was able to try out their skin care as well after the event and have noticed in the past couple of months how the tips have definitely changed my skin for the better!!

Of course I have to share the amazing products with yall, all the tips that were shared and information about Clara’s NY, so that you can check them out as well.

About Clara’s New York:

K-Beauty has certainly brought more attention to layering skincare, and people love the idea of flooding their skin with ingredient-rich active ingredients to target specific skin concerns

• Clara’s New York, from Symphony Beauty, is a veteran-owned business by James Jo – literally from the battlefield to the beauty industry

• James and his team bring natural, safe, effective, and on-trend ingredients from South Korea which are manufactured locally and sold in the U.S.

• His passion and purpose became a loud calling to fulfill his life-long dream of creating a sustainable brand with his family top of mind – beauty that is accessible to everyone and in tune with nature

• Clara’s NY contains no harsh chemicals, animal testing, animal byproducts, and any toxic parabens and additives

• The sophisticated technology used is nano-emulsion technology which is designed to improve the delivery of active ingredients in the serums, ensuring the essential ingredients penetrate the skin easier and faster – this is why Clara’s NY can be layered without decreasing its efficacy

Facts and Take aways from Clara’s New York:

A good rule of thumb is to think of layering from thinnest to thickest in terms of the serums consistency and let each serum absorb before applying the next

• It is essential to apply skincare products in the right order, as the order makes a difference in how your skin handles what you feed it – and which products to match for day and night application

• The best partnerships in the morning are ingredients like vitamin c first, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and collagen which has exfoliating ingredients, followed by moisturizer and SPF cream goes last

• Include your neck and decolletage in your routine

• It is advised to use retinol at night and should not be paired vitamin c and serums that exfoliate

• Pro Tips:

• Press the first serum you apply into the skin – instead of rubbing it in – this will save you on product and ensure you are leaving room for the next serum or product you are using to penetrate

• Q10 is great for travelling

• To target specific areas for aging or wrinkles, pat collagen and peptide serum under the eyes, by the nose and around the mouth

• Use vitamin c first

• A little goes a long way

• Store serums in a cool and dry place – such as the fridge or even better a skincare fridge – bathrooms tend to be hot, bright and humid. Drink a glass of water while getting them from the fridge!

• Follow them on Instagram for more tips: @clarasnewyork

• The Clara’s NY serums use active ingredients that target a specific concern and are designed to penetrate the skin and to be layered

• Clara’s NY moisturizers lock in hydration, create a physical barrier and help the skin retain moisture, the larger molecules means they don’t penetrate as deeply as serums and are even more effective when paired with result driven serums

• Water based serums absorb easily into the skin and are often preferred if being used under makeup while oil based serums can add a lot of extra hydration and protect your skin barrier and lock in moisture at the end of a regime

• There is a lot of misconceptions around oil-based serums: FACT they CAN be used on any skin type, including oily to balance out the oil production in skin

Thank you so much to Clara’s NY for having such a great event and for dropping so many awesome skin care gems!! I love being able to share all the knowledge with my audience and hope that it helps them to start a great skin care journey, or continue to improve on the one that they already have.
