Start with a clean, fresh face

It is important to wash your face before applying any skincare products. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face and then dry it with a towel. Apply any other skincare products first, such as serums or toners, before you apply your moisturizer.

Use a light serum

Serums are light and contain high levels of active ingredients. A serum can be applied before you moisturizer to increase its effectiveness and give you additional hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizing ingredient that can retain up to 1000 times its weight of water.

Use eye cream

Your delicate skin around your eyes can become dry and fragile. Applying eye cream prior to your moisturizer can prevent wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s foot. Gently tap the eye cream with your ring finger around your eyes, taking care not to pull or tug on the skin.

Layer your moisturizer

After you have applied your eye cream and serum, it is time to apply your moisturizer. Apply a small amount of the product in circular motions upwards to dry areas, like your forehead and cheeks. Use a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type.

Remember to take care of your neck and chest

When it comes to skincare, the neck and chest are often overlooked. However, they are just as important. Apply the same moisturizer to your face to your neck, and your chest. This will keep your skin in these areas hydrated, and help prevent wrinkles from forming.

Use facial oil to seal it in

A facial oil is a good option if you have dry skin or live somewhere that has dry climates. Facial oils seal in moisture to give your skin an extra layer of hydration. After applying your moisturizer, apply a few drops to your face and massage it into the skin.

Finish with SPF

For healthy, youthful skin, protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is essential. Apply your moisturizer, facial oil and sunscreen. Make sure you choose a sunscreen that isn’t likely to clog pores and is non-comedogenic.

For healthy skin and maximum hydration, it is important to layer your moisturizer properly. These steps will ensure your skin is healthy and hydrated. Make sure you choose the right products for your skin and use a sunscreen to protect it from the sun.

Use a hydrating spray

A hydrating mist can be used if your skin still feels dry. A hydrating mist can provide moisture for your skin throughout the day. This is especially useful if you live in an environment that is dry or poorly conditioned. You should look for mists that contain hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera, rosewater, and glycerin.

Product usage shouldn’t be overdone

It’s important to use moisturizers and other products in the correct order. However, you shouldn’t overuse the product. Over-use of products can cause breakouts and clog pores. Use a small amount of moisturizer, a little serum or facial oil and keep it to a very small size.

Change your routine to suit the seasons

The season can affect how your skin needs to hydrate. To combat dry winter air, you might need to use a heavier moisturizer. A lightweight moisturizer and hydrating spray may suffice in the summer. You can adjust your routine to suit your skin’s needs by paying attention to how it feels.

Keep hydrated from the inside.

Hydration is not just about what you put on your face, it’s also about how you eat. To keep your skin hydrated, make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. Your skin will stay hydrated and healthy by eating hydrating foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Layering moisturizer properly is only one aspect of a complete skincare routine. These tips will ensure your skin is healthy and hydrated. Make sure you choose the right products for your skin and adapt your routine to suit your seasons. Don’t forget about staying hydrated from within by drinking lots of water and following a healthy diet.
