Can you imagine skincare without moisturizer? Neither can we! Proper hydration helps skin stay young and in good condition longer. This is because most of the processes occurring in the skin take place in water. Without it, wrinkles appear faster, skin sags, and skin cells begin to exfoliate more quickly.

How does moisturizing cream work?

Although the name suggests that moisturizing creams infuse water into the skin, this isn't the case. In reality, they strengthen the lipid barrier, preventing water evaporation and increasing the stratum corneum's ability to bind water. This prevents moisture from escaping and keeps the skin well hydrated. It's crucial to choose a cream that suits your skin type and use it regularly. Only then can we expect anti-aging effects.

Which makeup cream should I choose?

The choice of moisturizer we apply before makeup significantly impacts its final appearance and durability. Mineral makeup looks best with lightweight moisturizers. Oily ones can cause makeup to separate and patchy. This rule also applies to SPF creams.

How to use moisturizer before makeup?

Applying moisturizer should be the last step in your morning skincare routine. Apply it after cleansing with a gentle product—such as a cleansing foam—and after toning and applying a serum, if necessary. After applying a light moisturizer, it's a good idea to wait a few minutes for it to absorb. If you're short on time, blot excess cream with a tissue and proceed to makeup.
