27 Jun How To Properly Apply Moisturiser: A Guide
Great skincare always starts with great products, but if you’re not applying them correctly, you won’t be getting the most out of them. Here at Pure Skin Boutique we not only hand pick products that we know deliver clinically proven but we also advise on how to best apply them for optimum results. But first thing’s first, let’s start with the basics. How do you properly apply moisturiser? There are some common mistakes so we thought we’d pass on our top tips to get you started.
How to Apply Moistuiser Correctly
How much?
While everyone’s skin is different, many people make the mistake of applying too much. In general, between a pea and cashew-sized blog of product is the correct amount.
Where?
Some moisturisers are best warmed slightly before application, if this is the case with yours, apply the cream to the palms of your (washed) hands and warm before applying. People often use their fingertips to distribute product, but you’ll get a much more even application using the palms.
How?
Massage the product into your skin using light, circular motions. Gentle, upward strokes are ideal, particularly along the jawline and neck area.
