What is Skin Flooding?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is the latest trend on TikTok, involving ultra-hydration of facial skin. The name refers to a specific four-step layering routine aimed at boosting hydration for dry skin.<\/p>\n

This routine commonly revolves around a key ingredient: hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid can draw moisture from the deeper layers of the skin and the surrounding environment to the upper layers, where hydration is most needed.<\/p>\n

Skin Flooding seems to be a good practice, especially at this time of the year when humidity drops and skin dries out more easily. Let’s explore further and understand if it’s a beneficial practice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How to Do Skin Flooding?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]TikTok skin influencers are clear: to correctly perform Skin Flooding, these steps must be followed precisely: <\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Washing with a gentle cleanser: Cleaning is essential for better penetration of the products and ingredients to be applied later.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. First hydration: The next step is applying the first layer of hydration. It’s important not to create a “barrier” of product so that subsequent steps are absorbed by the skin. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Use a hyaluronic acid serum: While the face is still damp to the touch, apply a water-based hydrating serum.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Seal with an emollient moisturizing cream: To maintain hydration in the skin, the final step is to apply a moisturizing cream that acts as a seal and prevents trans-epidermal water loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
