Start damp, not dry

Glass skin is really about water. Apply your first layer while skin is still damp from cleansing, so humectants have something to hold on to. Pat, don’t rub.

Layer thin to thick

Serum first, then cream. Thin textures sink in and set the stage, richer textures seal the moisture in. Give each layer thirty seconds to settle.

Finish with light

A drop of oil pressed over cream, or a swipe of balm on the high points of the face, catches the light and turns hydration into glow.
