A good rule of thumb? Give each product about 30 seconds to a minute to soak in before layering on the next. That gives your skin time to absorb everything without pilling or mixing things weird. If you're rushing out the door, it’s not the end of the world—but when you’ve got the time, a little pause between steps helps your products work even better.
What Are the Three Most Important Skin Care Products?
If you’re keeping it simple, stick with these three: cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. A good cleanser helps remove dirt, sweat and leftover product from your skin. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated and happy, and sunscreen protects against sun damage (which, let’s be real, is a biggie). These three are like the foundation of a solid routine—and once they’re locked in, you can add extras as needed.
How Do You Deeply Hydrate Your Skin Overnight?
Nighttime’s the perfect window to give your skin some serious love. Use products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin to draw in moisture and help repair your skin barrier while you sleep. You can even seal everything in with a layer of something thick—like some of our lip care—especially if your skin’s feeling extra parched. Wake up to skin that feels soft, calm, and ready for the day.
What Does Dehydrated Skin Look Like?
Dehydrated skin can be sneaky. It might feel dry, but it could also look dull, a little flaky, or even oily in spots. You might notice tightness, fine lines, or that your skin just doesn’t bounce back like it usually does. It’s not just about lacking oil—it’s your skin running low on water, and it’s asking (nicely) for a drink.
