Quick answer
For best results, apply the Moisture Renewal Oil Booster after your water-based serums but before your moisturizer, mixing a few drops into your moisturizer or pressing it onto damp skin.
Why order matters in your skincare routine
Layering skincare is about putting the thinnest, most water-based products first and the richest, most oil-based products last. This allows each product to absorb properly without blocking the next one. The Moisture Renewal Oil Booster is a concentrated oil, so it should go on after lighter serums and before or with your moisturizer.
If you apply oil first, it can create a barrier that prevents water-based products from penetrating. If you apply it after a heavy cream, it may not absorb well and can leave a greasy feel. The right order ensures you get the full benefit of both your moisturizer and the booster.
Mixing vs. layering: which is better?
You can use the booster two ways: mix a few drops directly into your moisturizer, or apply the booster first and then your moisturizer on top. Mixing is convenient and ensures even distribution. Layering allows you to control the amount of oil and can be more moisturizing for very dry skin.
Both methods work, but mixing is often easier for beginners. If you have dry or flaky skin, layering the oil before a moisturizer can provide an extra moisture seal. Experiment to see which feels better for your skin.
Step-by-step layering guide
- Cleanse and tone: Start with a clean face. Apply your toner or essence if you use one. This prepares your skin to absorb the oil booster. Make sure your skin is slightly damp before the next step.
- Apply water-based serums: Use any water-based serums (like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C) before the oil. This ensures they can penetrate without being blocked by oil. Check that your serum is fully absorbed before moving on.
- Dispense the oil booster: Shake the bottle gently. Dispense 2-3 drops of the Moisture Renewal Oil Booster into your palm. You can use more if your skin is very dry. Start with fewer drops; you can always add more.
- Warm and press: Rub your palms together to warm the oil, then press it gently onto your face and neck. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can irritate the skin. Use a pressing motion, not a rubbing motion, for better absorption.
- Layer or mix with moisturizer: Either apply your moisturizer on top of the oil, or mix the booster drops directly into your moisturizer before applying. Both methods work well. If you mix, do it in your palm to avoid contaminating the products.
- Finish with SPF (morning only): In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. The oil booster does not replace sun protection. At night, you can skip SPF and use a night cream if needed.
