To maximize the effectiveness of your moisturizer, dermatologist Alicia Yoon recommends following these tips.

Moisturize before applying cream

Cosmetics work best on damp skin, and moisturizers are no exception. Cleanse your skin and gently moisturize with a toner, serum, or lotion before applying moisturizer.

Apply cosmetics in order from liquid to thick texture. Applying in the correct order will help the skin to be deeply moisturized, become smooth and shiny.

Spray mineral water after applying moisturizer

After applying moisturizer, you can use an additional layer of mineral spray to add moisture to help hydrate your skin.

If you have dry skin, you can apply the "sandwich" skin care method that is very popular in Korea, which is to spray mineral water between skin care steps.

The mineral spray provides moisture and soothes the skin, helping the nutrients from the cream work more effectively.

Mix moisturizer with oil

Add a few drops of essential oil to your moisturizer, mix well and apply to your skin to dilute the moisturizer. This makes the cream easier to absorb and doubles its moisturizing effect.

Korean women often apply this tip in the morning to have a smooth, shiny skin base, helping makeup look better.

Warm hands on face

After applying moisturizer, you can warm your palms and gently press them against your face so that the warmth from your hands helps the moisturizer penetrate deeply into your skin, maximizing its effectiveness.

If you have time, gently massage your skin to stimulate blood circulation, increase the effectiveness of the cream, reduce wrinkles, and make your skin rosy and more youthful.
