Moisturiser on Dry Skin? That’s Like Lube After Sex.

Apply your moisturiser when your face and body is still damp. Right after cleansing. Right after misting. Right when your skin still feels dewy and delicious.

This is when your barrier is most receptive. This is when your skin drinks it in. This is when your moisturiser is foreplay, not damage control.
