Do I Need to Use a Face Treatment Before My Moisturiser?

When it comes to skincare, you might think that moisturiser is the star of the show. But did you know that what you apply before your moisturiser can significantly impact its effectiveness? Welcome to the world of pre moisturising face treatments - essential steps that can elevate your skincare game to new heights.

Why Face Treatments Before a Moisturiser Matter

Just as you would prime a canvas before painting, prepping your skin before applying moisturiser can enhance absorption and efficacy. Using face products before a moisturiser addresses various skin concerns, including hydration, texture, and brightness, ensuring that your skin is in optimal condition to receive moisture.

Key Benefits of Using a Face Treatment Before Your Moisturiser

• Enhanced Hydration: Pre-moisturiser treatments like hydrating serums or essences can provide an extra moisture boost, ensuring your skin remains plump and hydrated throughout the day.
• Improved Absorption: These treatments often contain ingredients that help break down barriers in the skin, allowing your moisturiser to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
• Targeted Skin Concerns: Whether you're dealing with dullness, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, specific pre-moisturiser treatments can target these issues directly, offering more than just hydration.
• Skin Preparation: By cleansing and treating your skin, these products prepare it for the subsequent steps in your routine, enhancing the overall results.

Popular Pre-Moisturiser Face Treatments

• Cleansing Toners: A good toner can balance your skin and remove any residual impurities left after cleansing. Look for toners like ours that contain gentle ingredients and actives for added benefits.
• Exfoliators: For those looking to improve skin texture, exfoliators containing AHAs are a new way to remove dead skin cells, leaving your face smooth and ready for moisturising. Although we always recommend natural options like ours for skin kindness.
• Hydrating Serums: Packed with hyaluronic acid and other moisture-retaining ingredients, hydrating serums like ours draw water into the skin, providing an immediate hydration boost.
• Facial Oils: Contrary to what you might think, facial oils can be a great pre-moisturiser step for both dry and oily skin types. They help lock in moisture and can balance natural oil production.
• Eye Creams: Eye creams that are lightweight and water-based are excellent solution that hydrate and prime the skin, enhancing the absorption of all subsequent skincare products.

How to Incorporate a Treatment Before a Moisturiser into Your Routine

• Start with a Clean Slate: Always begin with a cleansed face to ensure maximum absorption of the pre-moisturiser treatment.
• Apply in Thin Layers: Less is more. Apply treatments in thin layers, allowing each product to fully absorb before moving on to the next.
• Follow with Moisturiser: Once your pre-moisturiser treatment is absorbed, seal the deal with your favourite moisturiser to lock in all the goodness.
• Consistency is Key: For best results, make pre-moisturiser treatments a regular part of your skincare routine.

Integrating a face treatment into your skincare routine before your moisturiser can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your moisturiser, addressing various skin concerns and improving overall skin health. Whether you choose toners, exfoliators, serums, oil or eye cream, the key is to find products that suit your skin type and concerns.
