A new technique for skin treatment seems to be circulating these days on social networks. Dermatologists say that this ritual known as "skin flooding" is nothing more than enriching skin care with moisturizing creams, serums or masks. Applying them to clean skin helps it to soften and have the desired glow.

How to do the "skin flooding" routine?

First, the face and neck are carefully cleansed with a tonic that balances the pH of the skin. Immediately after that, the "moisture of the skin" or "flooding" as estheticians call this method begins. A thermal water spray is applied, followed by a layer of hydrating serum and then an antioxidant serum (vitamin C is a great choice).

The next step involves the application of a nourishing, moisturizing or soothing cream, depending on the needs of the skin. This layer allows you to retain moisture for a long time, giving the face more health and shine. If you practice this ritual in the evening, you can choose a mask instead of the cream: leave it on all night and in the morning you will have soft and shiny skin.

Reminder: Regardless of the trends circulating on social media, don't forget to customize your skin care treatment based on your needs! In other words, if you have sensitive skin, exaggeration with moisturizing creams or serums would be excessive and instead of treating it, you could damage your skin.
