Does your skin feel rough and dull after moisturizer? Do not worry. We seem to know what’s up: it’s likely that you’re making one of these four mistakes.
1. Did not apply tonic before applying the cream
Facial tonics were invented for a reason. After washing, the pH of the skin changes, and this negatively affects the lipid barrier: moisture begins to evaporate from the surface of the epidermis in an accelerated mode, resulting in dry skin. The task of the tonic is to restore the pH and bring the skin into a state of balance. If you skip the toning step, your moisturizer will have to work for two, which is not at all his job.
Soft tonic “Absolute tenderness”, L’Oréal Paris based on panthenol relieves discomfort and softens the skin.
Refreshing vitamin tonic “Basic care” with grape extract, Garnier Suitable for combination skin, has a refreshing effect.
2. Forgot to exfoliate
Exfoliation is not in vain considered a mandatory weekly procedure. Dead skin cells that have accumulated on the surface of the skin are not only to blame for its dull appearance and uneven texture, but also create an additional barrier to the moisturizing ingredients of the cream. By the way, this applies to both the face and the body.

3. Drank little water
Remember that it is possible and necessary to moisturize the skin from the inside – observing the drinking regimen. Moreover, only pure non-carbonated water is taken into account (well, green tea is also suitable). Juices, coffee, broths – do not count.
The well-known advice about 2 liters of water a day is not for everyone. Calculate the amount of daily fluid intake using the formula 30 ml per 1 kg of weight.
Daily gel-serum for skin exposed to aggressive external influences, Mineral 89, Vichy contains thermal water of the Vichy springs, rich in minerals and trace elements, as well as hyaluronic acid.
4. Wrong choice of care product
Oddly enough, this is the most common mistake. Any care product should be chosen according to the type of skin. Moisturizing cream for dry skin is one thing, but for oily or sensitive skin it is completely different. Haven’t decided on your skin type yet? Then you are here.
In the meantime, explore all-purpose moisturizers.
