The Secret to Long-Lasting Hydration & how to beat winter skin!

Why Your Moisturizer Isn’t Enough…

If you’ve ever slathered on moisturizer only to feel dry again within hours, you’re not alone. Hydration isn’t just about applying a thick cream! It’s about using the right combination of products to lock in moisture and strengthen your skin barrier. Here’s why your moisturizer isn’t enough (and what to do about it!).

Step 1: Start with a Hydrating Cleanser

The Mistake: Using a harsh or foaming cleanser that strips your skin, making it feel tight and dry.

The Fix: Switch to a hydrating cleanser that cleans without stripping. I love Jan MariniBioglycolicc Face Cleanser because it gently exfoliates while keeping the skin soft and supple.

Step 2: Layer a Hydrating Serum (Before Moisturizer!)

The Mistake: Skipping serums and going straight to moisturizer.

The Fix: Hyaluronic Acid is your best friend! Apply a lightweight, water-based serum like Epicutis lipid serum or Hydrinity Restorative HA serum after cleansing to pull moisture into the skin before sealing it in with a moisturizer.

💡 Pro tip: Apply your hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin to boost absorption!

Step 3: Lock It in with the Right Moisturizer

The Mistake: Using a moisturizer that’s too light (or too heavy) for your skin type.

The Fix: Choose a moisturizer based on your skin’s needs:

• Dry Skin? Try Jan Marini Transformation Cream with growth factors for deep repair.

• Oily/Acne-Prone? Go for Face Reality Cran-Peptide Cream, a lightweight but nourishing option that won’t clog pores or Glymed comfort cream if you’re dealing with inflamed , irritated skin.

Step 4: Protect Your Hydration with SPF

The Mistake: Not wearing sunscreen, leading to moisture loss and accelerated aging.

The Fix: Use a hydrating SPF like Jan Marini Antioxidant SPF 33, which nourishes while protecting against UV damage.

Bottom Line: Hydration is all about layering the right products in the right order. Need help? Book a skin consultation at Syree Aesthetics, and I’ll create a routine just for you!
