Applying moisturizer on damp skin is one of the easiest and most effective skincare hacks for better hydration and glow. Here’s everything you need to know:
🌿 Why Apply Moisturizer on Damp Skin?
-
Locks in moisture: Your skin acts like a sponge—when it’s damp, it absorbs and retains hydration better.
-
Boosts effectiveness: Moisturizer spreads more easily and penetrates deeper when your skin is slightly wet.
-
Prevents dryness: Sealing water into the skin prevents transepidermal water loss (aka moisture escaping into the air).
-
Gives a dewy, plump finish: Damp skin + moisturizer = instant glow.
🧴 How to Do It:
-
Cleanse your skin.
-
Pat dry gently — leave your face a little damp, not dripping.
-
Apply moisturizer within 1 minute to seal in hydration.
-
Gently massage it in using upward strokes.
