What To Know About Potential Downsides To Skin Flooding
By RAFAELA LUZURIAGA
Skin flooding involves saturating your skin with moisture, usually during your nighttime routine, so your products have a chance to seep in and you wake up with a plump complexion.
This is a good technique to repair the skin barrier, but once this is done, the over-saturation of the skin can be damaging to the epidermis, so be careful not to overdo it.
To do this method, apply your cleanser, facial mist, and serums before locking it all in with a good moisturizer. Skin flooding is simple, and the best part is that it works!
Dermatologists agree that the secret to helping your skin absorb moisture is to trap layers of hydration under other layers to lock in that hydration.
The key to effective skin flooding is to use a hyaluronic acid serum before slathering on your favorite moisturizer since the serum allows your skin to absorb all the moisture.
