A guide to hydration layering

Dry and dull skin often needs more water, not more oil. Layering light textures is the answer.

By Sofia Laurent

Hydration layering means applying several thin, water based products instead of one heavy cream. It delivers moisture deep into the skin without clogging it.

The order matters

Begin with the thinnest texture and move to the richest. An essence first, then a serum, then a moisturiser to seal it all in.

Skin that is truly hydrated looks plump, smooth, and quietly luminous.
