So, we all know about moisturizers right? The product that makes our skin smooth and soft? Well, they do much more than that! They are extremely important and beneficial for the skin. But honestly, it can get a little confusing with all the different moisturizers out there.
Moisturizers are important because they help keep your skin from getting dehydrated, even oily skin types need to moisturize. That’s why moisturizers should be the last step in your skincare routine. Your moisturizer has a defining role in how effective your skincare is. Surprisingly, most of us know very little about what makes a moisturizer. And because of that, we fail to find the right one for our skin type.
How to Apply Your Moisturizer?
- Get a little amount of your moisturizer and warm it up in your hands.
- Now that the cream is all over your hands, apply it onto your face in an upward motion.
- Start from the cheeks and massage it upwards.
- Apply the rest on your forehead and finally, on your neck. Always go upwards.
- Apply your moisturizer on clean, damp face. Damp skin absorbs better.
- If you use serums, apply your moisturizer after your serums.
