Learn how to apply Nourishing Honey Moisturizer for dry winter skin. Follow these steps to lock in hydration and keep your skin soft all season.
Quick answer
Apply Nourishing Honey Moisturizer to damp skin after cleansing, using gentle upward strokes. Focus on dry areas like elbows and knees for best winter hydration.
Why winter skin needs a honey moisturizer
Cold air and indoor heating strip moisture from your skin, leaving it tight and flaky. Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws water into the skin. Combined with orange blossom essence, Nourishing Honey Moisturizer helps soften and smooth without feeling greasy.
When to apply for best results
The ideal time is right after a shower or washing your face, within three minutes. Your skin is still slightly damp, which helps the moisturizer lock in hydration. If you wait too long, the moisture evaporates and the product won't absorb as effectively.
How to apply Nourishing Honey Moisturizer for dry winter skin
- Start with clean, damp skin: Wash your face or body with a gentle cleanser, then pat dry lightly. Leave skin slightly damp—not soaking wet. This helps the moisturizer spread evenly and seal in moisture. Skipping this step? Applying to dry skin reduces absorption and may leave a tacky feel.
- Dispense a pea-sized amount: For your face, use about a pea-sized dollop. For larger areas like arms or legs, use a quarter-sized amount. Warm it between your palms for a few seconds to make it easier to spread. Using too much won't hydrate faster—it can clog pores or feel heavy.
- Apply in upward, gentle strokes: Smooth the moisturizer onto your skin using upward motions—from your neck up to your forehead, and from your wrists toward your shoulders. Avoid rubbing aggressively, which can irritate winter-dry skin. Downward strokes can tug at the skin; upward motions follow your skin's natural texture.
- Focus on extra-dry areas: Pay extra attention to elbows, knees, hands, and any patches that feel rough or flaky. Use a little more product there if needed, but don't overdo it. Don't forget your hands—they lose moisture fast in winter and benefit from a second layer.
- Wait 2 minutes before layering other products: Let the moisturizer absorb fully before applying sunscreen, makeup, or body oil. This prevents pilling and ensures each layer works as intended. Rushing this step can cause your makeup to slide or your sunscreen to wear off unevenly.
- Reapply as needed during the day: If your skin feels tight or dry by mid-afternoon, apply a small amount to hands or face. A little goes a long way, so start with less and add more if needed. Over-applying can make skin feel sticky; a thin layer is usually enough.
