It’s no questions that a high-quality moisturizer should be the staple in your skincare routine. Sadly, most people will not experience the results they desire simply because they’re applying it the wrong way.
Do you really know how to properly apply your moisturizer? Here are some tips to help make sure you’re applying properly and getting the most out of your skincare routine.
Apply After Cleansing
There are some basic tips when it comes to moisturizing that cannot be skipped. One of them is the step that comes before…cleansing. Cleansers help clear your skin and prepare it for the rest of your routine. Without a high-quality cleanser, your skin is likely not absorbing all the powerful ingredients it needs to reverse signs of aging.
Oil cleansers are the best option for cleansing before moisturizer because it will clean skin better than traditional cleansers, without drying your skin out or compromising the balance of your pH levels. If you make a habit of cleansing right before applying your moisturizer, your skin will reap the benefits and your products will go deeper to provide results.
Skip The Drugstore
We understand that drugstore skincare products can seem appealing. They are convenient, cheap, and claim to be effective products. The reality, however, is that using products from the drugstore, especially a moisturizer, can backfire and leave your skin in a state of emergency.
Drugstore products often replace important ingredients with cheaper alternatives and fillers. In fact, a recent study found that there are hundreds of products in every drugstore that include harmful ingredients like parabens and sulfates. Using a high-quality moisturizer like our Repair & Release Cream will ensure you’re using quality ingredients that have the ability to help provide real results.
Don’t Rub Too Hard
When you’re applying your moisturizer, it’s natural to want to push and pull at the skin to help the product absorb. Sadly, pushing, pulling and tugging at your skin will result in deeper, more noticeable wrinkles, and even lead to sagging skin in the future.
To keep your skin safe and looking wrinkle-free, you’ll want to take extra care when applying your moisturizer and do so gently. When applying your moisturizer, take some product and warm it between your fingertips before applying it to your face. This will allow the moisturizer to glide on smoothly, and you’ll be able to gently press it into the skin instead of rubbing. This will help deliver peptides, nutrients, and antioxidants to your skin to help fight signs of aging.
