Choosing the right moisturizer is not the only way to achieve best hydrating results. You have to know WHEN and HOW moisturize your skin.
The best time to apply a moisturizer is right after a shower, just before your skin is completely dry. This will lock the water into the skin and will help ensure better hydration.
Before applying moisturizer, pat your skin with a towel until the skin is almost dry instead of rubbing it. Now it is the time to give your skin a massage. Rather than dabbing on your face cream, use circular motions to massage the cream into your skin. This simple trick will kick your blood circulation at full throttle. In addition to moisturizing every day, don’t forget to exfoliate your skin at least once a week. Dead skin builds up on your skin and makes you look flaky, scaly and ashy. Plus, a thick layer of dead skin cells can make your moisturizer less effective.
