Step 2: Moisturiser

Why? Apply moisturizer only if your skin feels dry after completing all the steps in your skincare routine, as treatment products and sunscreen often provide enough hydration. However, if your skin still feels dry, you may need an extra layer of lightweight moisturizer.

Apply a even layer of light weight moisturizer, starting from the U-zone and ending in the T-zone, using it sparingly.
