WHAT IS SKIN FLOODING?

In the latest bid to beat winter dryness, TikTok skinfluencers have turned to a new method to lock in hydration. 'Skin Flooding', as the name suggests, is all about flooding the complexion with lightweight, moisturising products to prevent dryness.

So, what makes it different from other trends? Whilst we're usually encouraged to wait for products to sink in before applying the next, this technique involves layering products whilst the skin is still wet.

HOW DO YOU SKIN FLOOD?

As all good routines suggest, starting off with a clean face is essential!

1. Apply a hydrating facial mist or toner 

2. Follow with a hyaluronic acid serum whilst skin is wet 

3. Hydrate the delicate eye area with eye cream

4. Apply a facial moisturiser of your choice 

5. Finish with an SPF to protect skin from UV rays
