Skin Flooding
TikTok is a platform that has helped emerge many beauty trends in makeup and skincare. Some of these trends are simply dismissed by dermatologists, aestheticians and makeup professionals, but some have been appreciated and promoted by them again. So, after the very viral slugging, another popular trend of skin flooding comes.
What is skin flooding:
Skin flooding means flooding the skin with products while it is damp. The primary motto of skin flooding is to hydrate the skin to the maximum level. The primary target of Korean beauty is to hydrate the skin. According to Korean Beauty, the more you hydrate the skin, the more youthful it gets.
Ideal Steps for skin-flooding:
Cleaning skin: Cleaning the skin with a milky or hydrating cleanser that will not dry out the skin.
Toning: A toner should be applied while the skin is still damp. It is best to choose a hydrating toner. You can use the Korean 7-skin method here to get the maximum benefit. Here the toner is layered 7 times to hydrate the skin.
Hyaluronic acid: One of the best humectants to boost skin hydration is Hyaluronic acid. It is fantastic to use a hyaluronic acid serum after toning.
Moisturizer: Moisturizers with ceramides are great for skin flooding. Ceramides help heal dry skin, especially for the damaged skin barrier.
Tips and tricks: One of the ways to get maximum hydration is to spray a mist after every skincare step. This will make the skin damp and moisturized between the layering steps.
Skin flooding is an ideal method to add hydration to dehydrated skin. It can be tried 2-3 days a week, if not daily.
