What Is A Moisture Sandwich?
Design by Tiana Crispino
As with most trendy skincare terms these days, the phrase “moisture sandwich” likely originated from Reddit.
It refers to the process oflayering your skincare products.
In her Instagram video, Palermino shows how she applies the moisture-sandwich method to her face and lips.
The technique slightly differs for each area.
“From here, I apply moisturizer,” she shares.
The Benefits
The skincare guru also says that this technique also has some cosmetic benefits.
“Knowing my skin is protected and hydrated under my glow is just another benefit.”
She’ll then applyChemist Confessions Balm Voyageas her topper.
“One brand Ive been loving is Hanahana beautys Shea Lip Balm.
It’s perfect to put over a basic moisturizer.”
For her face sandwich, there are a couple of products Palermino is keeping in rotation.
Currently, she applies Deux Skin’s forthcoming serum and then Triple Lipid Repair from Skinceuticals.
She’ll typically round out her nighttime routine by applying Aquaphor, Vaseline, or Chemist Confessions Balm Voyage.
But on the nights she uses a prescription retinoid, she’ll forego this step.
