Have you ever heard of the “Skin Flooding” technique? A trend on TikTok in 2023, this technique consists of creating four layers of hydration on the skin with different textures and hydrating active ingredients. With your skin properly cleansed, you should first spray thermal water all over your face, then apply a gel or two serums with moisturizing active ingredients and finally, a cream or oil the moisturizer.
From the lightest and most liquid product to the densest, the idea is to “seal” and maintain hydration on the face for longer, retaining water in the skin and thus keeping it healthier, protected and away from dryness. Experts recommend this technique for dry and/or mature skin, as it tends to be more affected by flaking, itching, sensitivity and even roughness.

“Which active ingredients should I use?” Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide and vegetable oils are the favorite active ingredients for moisturizing the skin. In the long term, the result is softer skin and a protected skin barrier.

Layers of products can end up leaving the skin with an extra glow and even a slightly “oily” appearance. Therefore, prefer to follow this routine at night, before going to sleep.
