Moisturising is supposed to hydrate and protect your skin—so why does your skin still feel dry, tight, or dull even after applying moisturiser?
You’re not alone. Many people unknowingly make one small mistake that prevents their moisturiser from working properly.
If you’ve ever felt like your moisturiser “disappears” or doesn’t give long-lasting hydration, you might be making this one crucial mistake.
The #1 Moisturising Mistake Most People Make
Applying moisturiser to dry skin.
That’s right—moisturiser works best when applied to damp skin!
Here’s why:
-
Damp skin absorbs product better – Applying moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp locks in moisture and prevents water loss.
-
Hydration evaporates quickly – If you wait too long after cleansing, your skin dries out, making it harder to rehydrate.
-
Your products will be more effective – Layering on moisturiser right after toner or serum helps it sink in deeper and last longer.
How to Fix It: The Right Way to Apply Moisturizer
✔️ After cleansing, apply a hydrating toner or serum to damp skin.
✔️ While your skin is still slightly damp, massage in your moisturizer.
✔️ For extra hydration, follow up with a face oil to lock everything in.
By making this simple switch, your skin will stay hydrated longer, feel softer, and absorb your products more effectively!
