Applying a moisturiser seems pretty easy, right? But the way you use the moisturiser makes a huge difference to your skin. These tips will make sure that you are getting the most out of your hydrating skin routine.
Apply an even coat
When you use the moisturiser in the middle of your face and start massaging it outward, the moisturiser tends to settle along the perimeter, clogging the pores around the hair line. So make sure that you apply the moisturiser evenly across your entire face so that it doesn t settle into the pores. Follow these simple tips to manage oily skin.
Moisturise in the right direction
To moisturise the top of your face, start from the centre of the face and then move up and outward. Using your ring finger, slowly swirl the cream in circular motions and move downward. Also, avoid these 5 beauty mistakes that lead to ageing skin.
Moisturise immediately after washing your face
When you leave your skin bare for a long time after washing your face, your skin gets dehydrated as the air leeches the moisture from the skin. Applying moisturiser right after you step out of the shower will ensure that your skin is moisturised. Go natural and learn these easy tips to keep your skin moisturised in winters.
Use moisturiser with SPF on your neck
When you use a moisturiser with SPF you have a tendency to first apply it on your face and then bring the leftover down to your neck. But your neck needs equal attention if you want to avoid sun damage. When you apply the moisturiser on the entire face make sure that you apply enough of it on the neck, the sides of the neck and any exposed area of the chest.
