Moisturizer Do’s and Don’ts from Skin Care Expert, Renée Rouleau
Don’t leave the skin bare for longer than 60 seconds after cleansing, before applying moisturizer
After cleansing, you must IMMEDIATELY use an alcohol-free toner and moisturizer. If you leave your skin bare for more than 1 minute, it will start to dehydrate as the dry air attracts moisture out of the skin. Perform your skin care routine quickly, and be sure to always leave your toner damp on the skin. This will leave your skin protected and avoid the tight and dry feeling.
My own simple skin care routine
takes 3 minutes, total, even on the days when I exfoliate my face, so there is not much chance of drying out between steps, but this is good advice. You’ll find more helpful information on the post.
