With the beauty industry making several groundbreaking advances, we have a bunch of beauty buzzwords to keep up with. Moisture Sandwich is one of the latest viral skincare trends on the internet. In this article, we’ll be decoding this viral trend for you. As the name suggests, “Moisture Sandwich” is about layering your skincare products in a way that hydration and moisture get locked into the skin. Moisture Sandwich is associated with trapping water in the skin and reducing transepidermal water loss.
This routine is followed by applying lighter textures or formulas, or even water-based formulas on clean, damp skin, and then layering the thicker ones. This helps in trapping the water in the skin’s deeper layers for longer. The skin becomes more hydrated, radiant, and healthy. Further, this layering allows the smooth application of makeup on the skin.
