Cleanse and Prep Skin First
Start with clean, slightly damp skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry, and leave a thin layer of moisture. This helps the moisturizer absorb more evenly.
Apply the Right Amount and Type
Use a pea-sized amount for the face and neck. Choose a moisturizer suited to your skin type, such as a light lotion for oily skin or a cream for dry skin.
Use Gentle, Upward Motions
Warm a small amount between your fingertips. Apply it using gentle upward strokes from the center of the face outward. Avoid pulling or dragging the skin.
