Moisturize at least twice a day

Daily how many times you should apply moisturizer depends on your cleansing routine. Skin experts suggest washing your face twice a day. So, every day in the morning and in the night, apply moisturizer after washing your face. 

 

Apply on wet skin

Massage downwards to upwards

With age many skin problems like aging, wrinkles, loose skin start to show. And also, the gravity keeps pulling our skin down.

It also helps your skin absorb the moisturizer better.

 

Moisturizer first or sunscreen?
