How to Layer Moisture Like a Pro

Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency, sealing damp skin with each layer to lock in maximum hydration.

1. Start with damp skin. Cleanse and leave skin slightly wet, or mist with thermal water. Moisture sticks better to moisture, creating the foundation for your layering system.
2. Apply your lightest layer first. Use a hydrating toner or essence while skin is still damp. Press into skin with palms, don't rub. This creates your first moisture barrier.
3. Add your treatment serum. Apply hyaluronic acid or your chosen serum to the damp surface. The water underneath helps the serum spread and penetrate more effectively.
4. Lock it down with moisturizer. Apply your cream or lotion while the serum is still slightly wet. This seals everything underneath and prevents water loss from the surface.
5. Seal with an occlusive. For extra dry skin, add a thin layer of facial oil or balm as the final step. This creates an impermeable barrier that traps all the moisture layers beneath.
