More Moisture, Really?
After your skin has soaked up the juicy goodness of a sheet mask, it may seem a bit redundant to apply yet another layer of moisture. But it turns out there’s a reason behind that ‘follow with moisturizer’ line in the directions. Masks are specifically formulated to penetrate the skin efficiently and deliver active ingredients where they are needed most - that’s what makes them so effective. But keeping those active ingredients in place is another story. By creating a physical barrier on the skin, facial moisturizer helps prevent water loss and seals in active ingredients. That means you’ll see better results and keep that just-masked glow even longer.Choosing the Right Moisturizer
The journey to finding the perfect moisturizer is a personal one. First things first, look for a formula that suits your skin type. Then, take into account what mask you’ll be using. For example, a rich mask formula like collagen-infused Youth Junkie can be followed with a lightweight moisturizer. A lighter mask formula, like H2Overdose, can be paired with something a bit heavier creamy cult fave. Already have a go-to moisturizer? Great! The important thing is to remember to use it after your masking sesh.
