How to Apply Your Moisturizer for Maximum Hydration
Applying moisturizer correctly is key to keeping your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. Follow these steps to ensure you get the most out of your skincare routine!
πΏ Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ Start with a Clean Face
-
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type.
-
Pat your skin dry with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp (not completely dry).
2️⃣ Use a Hydrating Mist (Optional)
-
Spritz a face mist or toner to add an extra layer of hydration before applying moisturizer.
3️⃣ Dispense the Right Amount
-
Use a pea-sized amount for oily skin and a dime-sized amount for dry skin.
-
Avoid using too much, as it can clog pores or feel greasy.
4️⃣ Warm the Moisturizer in Your Hands
-
Rub the product between your fingers for a few seconds to warm it up—this helps with absorption.
5️⃣ Apply in Gentle, Upward Motions
-
Start with your cheeks and work outward.
-
Use gentle, upward strokes to avoid tugging at the skin.
-
Apply to the forehead, nose, and chin last.
6️⃣ Don’t Forget Your Neck!
-
Apply moisturizer to your neck and dΓ©colletage using upward motions to prevent sagging.
7️⃣ Let It Absorb
-
Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen (morning) or other treatments (night).
8️⃣ Seal It In (Night Routine Tip!)
-
If your skin is extra dry, apply a facial oil or sleeping mask after your moisturizer for added hydration.
