3 TIPS TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS OF YOUR MOISTURIZERS
Moisturizing is a very critical step in our skincare routine, something we cannot skimp on. Applying a moisturizer daily has many essential benefits. It helps protect our skin barrier from external and environmental elements that can harm and damage our skin cells.
Moisturizing prevents skin problems like dryness and overproduction of oil that causes acne and blemishes.
Moisturizers have amazing anti aging effects. It helps hydrate the skin making it more plump, firm and elastic. This makes the skin less susceptible to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
There are simple ways we can make the most out of our moisturizers. By following these very simple steps we can reap all the benefits of our moisturizers to enjoy a more beautiful, YEOUTHful skin!
1. LAYER YOUR MOISTURIZERS
Different skin needs and conditions require different moisturizers. But it does not mean that you have to stack up on moisturizers. Change up on your moisturizers as the seasons change because your skin can actually change along with the weather and various environmental conditions. It is best to prepare and protect the skin for all kinds of transitions.
In summer, lighter moisturizers are exceptional at keeping the skin moisturized. In the winter, thicker creams give the skin extra hydration and protection to combat drier, more frigid air.

2. APPLY YOUR MOISTURIZER ON DAMP SKIN
When skin is damp it acts like a sponge ready to absorb anything and everything. Avoid drying off your face completely after washing, toning and applying your serums to prepare an excellent base for your moisturizer.
But do not apply your skin care and moisturizer while skin is dripping wet! This will have the opposite effect and will not help absorb your products.

Moisturizing after a tone
Simply and carefully pat your face with a soft towel after washing, then dampen your skin with a toner. Toners help restore the skin’s barrier to keep it hydrated and protected from harmful bacteria and other pollutants after a cleanse.

It’s also designed to smooth, soften and calm the skin, prepping it for maximum absorption of the serums and other products that come next in your skincare routine.
3. APPLY SPECIALLY FORMULATED MOISTURIZERS FOR EYE AREA, AND NECK
The skin around our eyes is ten times thinner than the other parts of our face. This makes it more vulnerable to the environment, and more prone to signs of aging like Crow’s Feet and wrinkles!
It is the reason why this sensitive area needs more nourishment and hydration to retain its firmness and prevent the deepening of lines over time.

YEOUTH Radiance Eye Gel combines Hyaluronic Acid and Tripeptide amino acids to visibly hydrate and help reverse the signs of aging to reveal a brighter under eye area. It offers lasting hydration to the delicate skin around the eyes and improves the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.
Skin around our neck, shoulders and chest or our décolletage area is also much thinner and has less fatty tissues. They are as exposed to the sun and the environment as the face.
That is why lines, spots, and loose, crepey skin tend to appear much sooner in these areas of the body. A Neck Cream can help make skin in these areas become firmer and smoother.
