How to save dry skin - layering & moisture
|
Time to read 2 min
Dry skin can feel tight, look dull, and be difficult to deeply hydrate, especially during colder months or in dry indoor air. But with the right products and a smart method, you can give your skin moisture, nourishment, and glow.
In this video, we show a complete Korean skincare routine for dry skin, where we use the layering method – a technique where you build up moisture in several layers. We use moisturizing and barrier-strengthening products from among others Anua, Torriden, Round Lab and SKIN1004. Below you will find the entire routine with our best tips.
Selected products
In this video, we show a complete Korean skincare routine for you with dry, tight, or dull skin. We use the layering method and go step by step through an oil cleansing, a mild foam cleansing, moisturizing toner, booster, serum, and a softening moisturizer.
All products are carefully selected to provide the skin with intense moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and restore radiance without feeling heavy or clogging. Below you can read more about each product and why they work so well in a moisturizing layering routine.
