Why is my skin so dry even when I moisturize?

While dry skin might seem inevitable, sometimes it can take more than just moisturizing. Even though we moisturize and use several serums and creams we apply, dry skin remains parched without the benefits of gentle exfoliation, high-quality skincare and proper application. Keep reading for three key tips that keep your skin hydrated!

3 Go-to Tips to Keep your Skin Hydrated

1. Prepare Your Dry Skin to Take in the Moisture

Just like skin prep before makeup application, you need to do the proper skin preparation for your skin to take in moisture. Face Toners are a must-have prep step in any routine, especially to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Hydrating serums and moisturizers can not reach the skin if blocked by dead skin cells!
