Choose the appropriate cream for your skin type
For dry skin, you should choose a cream with high moisturizing ingredients and a dense texture. For oily skin, you should choose a lightweight moisturizing cream that does not clog pores. If you have sensitive skin, opt for a fragrance-free moisturizing cream.
Apply the right amount of cream
A coin-sized amount of cream is enough to maintain the necessary moisture for your skin. Applying too much moisturizing cream can make your skin feel suffocated and cause breakouts. Apply a thin layer of cream and gently massage it into your skin for deep absorption.
Apply moisturizing cream after other skincare steps
When using multiple skincare products, apply moisturizing cream as the final step. After cleansing your face, use toner and serum if applicable. Then, apply moisturizing cream to seal in the moisture on your skin. If you use facial oil, apply it after the moisturizing cream to create a protective barrier on your skin.
Gently massage after applying cream
After applying moisturizing cream, gently massage your skin to promote deep absorption and stimulate blood circulation. Gentle massage also helps reduce stress.
Prioritize deep moisturizing cream at night, and sun protection cream during the day
Your skin needs deep moisturization to combat dryness. Therefore, use a deep and oil-rich moisturizing cream at night to allow your skin enough time to absorb and retain moisture overnight. During the day, use a moisturizing cream with sun protection to shield your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
Apply cream to damp skin
It is best to apply moisturizing cream to damp skin after cleansing. After washing your face, pat it gently with a soft towel to dry, leaving a small amount of water on your skin. Then, apply toner before using moisturizing cream to lock in water and nutrients. The cream will help retain water in your skin, preventing water loss and dryness.
Use a sleeping mask instead of moisturizing cream 1-2 times per week
A sleeping mask is a deep moisturizing method. You should apply it 1-2 times per week to provide optimal nourishment for your skin. Sleeping masks often contain powerful moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramide, or glycerin, which deeply moisturize and repair damaged skin.
Add 1-2 drops of facial oil to your cream for enhanced moisturizing
You can add 1-2 drops of facial oil to your moisturizing cream to provide additional nourishment and natural oil for your skin, helping it to retain the necessary moisture and prevent water loss. Furthermore, facial oil can create a light protective layer on your skin, making it safer and softer.
