Hydrating milk, typically referring to a type of facial lotion, is used to moisturize and hydrate the skin. Here's how to incorporate it into your skincare routine:
Steps for Using Hydrating Milk:
-
Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face by using a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
-
Tone (Optional): If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing. Allow the toner to fully absorb into your skin.
-
Apply Hydrating Milk: Pour a small amount of the hydrating milk (lotion) onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way.
-
Apply to Face and Neck: Gently dot the hydrating milk onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Don't forget your neck!
-
Massage and Pat: Using gentle, upward strokes, massage the hydrating milk into your skin. After massaging, gently pat your skin to help the lotion fully absorb. Avoid tugging or pulling on your skin.
-
Follow with Other Products (Optional): If you use a serum or other specialized skincare products, apply them after the hydrating milk has been absorbed.
-
Sunscreen (Daytime): If you're applying hydrating milk in the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun damage.
Important Considerations:
- External Use Only: Hydrating milk is designed for external use on the skin. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Patch Test: Before using any new skincare product, perform a patch test on a small area of skin (like your inner arm) to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
- Skin Type: Choose a hydrating milk that is appropriate for your skin type (e.g., oily, dry, combination, sensitive).
- Frequency: Use hydrating milk as often as needed, typically once or twice a day.
- Storage: Store hydrating milk in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
