Flood Alert! New Skin Is On The Horizon
Skin flooding has emerged as a coveted beauty trend, promising to deliver a luminous, hydrated complexion reminiscent of dewy morning skin. Of course this beauty trend has been brought to our attention by none other than, yes you guessed it, social media! How else would we know about viral beauty techniques if we didn’t have Instagram and TikTok?
This innovative facial treatment focuses on deeply nourishing the skin, replenishing moisture levels, and enhancing natural radiance. Unlike traditional skincare routines, skin flooding goes beyond surface hydration, penetrating deep into the skin's layers to deliver long-lasting luminosity. By flooding the skin with moisture, this technique promotes a plump, youthful appearance, leaving you with a coveted lit-from-within glow.
The skin flooding process involves several simple yet effective steps to achieve optimal hydration and luminosity. First, you want to begin by thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove any impurities and makeup residue, allowing the subsequent products to penetrate more effectively. We really like the Salt & Stone Spirulina and Yuzu Cleanser because of its ability to attract and trap moisture in the skin. Next, apply a hydrating serum enriched with potent ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and vitamins C and E. The Good C Vitamin C Dr. Barbara Sturm serum is a great option as it contains these ingredients and more. Then you want to massage the serum gently into the skin, focusing on areas prone to dryness or dehydration. Follow this with a lightweight moisturizer like the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier against environmental stressors. This moisturizer is used not only as a moisturizer but a primer for makeup so it’s lightweight consistency is ideal for this step of the skin flooding process.
To take your skin flooding routine to the next level you might want to also consider incorporating facial massages or even a lymphatic drainage treatment. This helps to promote circulation, reduce puffiness and of course it helps with the absorption of the aforementioned products. You can also add weekly sheet masks and overnight masks for an added boost of moisture which will have your skin looking hydrated, refreshed and youthful when you wake in the morning. So, for the luminous glow would you try skin flooding? Or have you already been partaking in this viral trend without even knowing it? Let us know what products you use in your beauty routine and how the skin flooding routine works for you.
