How to Double Moisturize for Winter

Layer a lightweight hydrating product under your regular moisturizer to prevent winter dryness without pilling or heaviness.

1. Start with damp skin. Apply your first layer while skin is still slightly damp from cleansing or toner. Damp skin traps more hydration than completely dry skin, making your layering more effective.
2. Apply your hydrating layer. Use a lightweight serum, essence, or gel moisturizer as your first layer. Press it in gently with your palms rather than rubbing to avoid disturbing the product.
3. Wait for absorption. Give the first layer 30-60 seconds to absorb before applying your second moisturizer. This prevents pilling and ensures each layer can do its job properly.
4. Seal with your regular moisturizer. Apply your usual face cream or lotion as the final step. Use slightly less than normal since you already have hydration underneath.
