This is a technique designed to improve the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/moisturizer\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"258\">hydration<\/a>especially dry skin during the winter months. The technique involves applying moisturizing ingredients to clean, damp skin, to enhance product absorption and efficacy. This method is often combined with the use of a thick moisturizer to seal in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key points<\/strong><br>Skin flooding is a technique designed to improve hydration.<br>Applying moisturizing ingredients to damp skin can help improve product absorption.<br>This trend is not for everyone and needs to be adapted to individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is skin flooding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skin flooding is a winter skincare trend aimed at improving dry skin problems such as sensitivity, burning, stinging, flaking and tightness. This method is not limited to winter and can be performed at any time of year.<br>The principle of skin flooding is to deliver a large quantity of moisture to the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, you need to start with a clean base by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/cleansing-care\/best-dry-skin-gel\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"5937\">face wash<\/a>. Then, after rinsing off the cleanser, apply moisturizing ingredients to your still-damp face. This technique allows the skin to absorb more of the product and facilitates penetration of the active ingredients.<br>It generally involves applying several layers of moisturizing products, including one or two serums and a moisturizing cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C0EjxZVoRfu\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Well-moisturized skin also enhances skin flexibility, giving it a more luminous, radiant appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's important to note that skin flooding is not a one-size-fits-all approach for all skin types. However, by adapting this method to your personal needs, it is possible to help relieve dry skin and restore healthy, glowing skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skin flooding process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The skin flooding process always begins with facial cleansing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gentle cleansing is essential to avoid aggressing the skin, and to prepare it to better absorb the products that will be applied later. It is important not to dry the skin after rinsing off the cleanser, in order to maintain a certain level of hydration and promote better penetration of the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply moisturizing ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After cleansing, the application of several moisturizing ingredients to damp skin is recommended to achieve optimal saturation. These include hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, glycerine, marine extracts, polyhydroxy acids, polyglutamic acid and urea. These products enhance the skin's ability to retain water.<br>It's also advisable to apply a thermal water mist between each layer of skincare to further boost hydration. Finally, it's crucial to finish the process by applying a thicker moisturizing cream to seal in all the hydration provided by the previous products and prevent water loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply moisturizing cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final step in the skin flooding process is to apply a thick moisturizing cream to seal in moisture and reduce transepidermal water loss.<br>Allow the cream to penetrate the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My opinion and Warning!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, this can be a good technique for improving the appearance of dehydrated skin. My recommendation is not to necessarily choose a thick moisturizing cream, but rather one that is adapted to your skin type to avoid the appearance of imperfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u26a0\ufe0f Skin flooding can sometimes lead to overhydration or increased sensitivity, particularly with products containing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/ingredients\/niacinamide\/best-serum\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"5404\">niacinamide<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Although \"skin flooding\" is presented as a novelty, it is in fact a long-standing skin care practice, particularly in Korea and Japan, known as \"skin flooding\".\u00a0<strong>layering<\/strong>\" .<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f It's essential to assess whether new skincare products really correspond to your needs and daily habits before buying them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ma s\u00e9lection! moisturizing cream from 9 to 59 euros\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P8J-A7xs-l4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skin flooding.
