Does moisturizer really need to be applied to damp skin? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why the timing of moisturizer application can matter for maintaining the skin barrier and reducing water loss after bathing, showering, or cleansing.
Moisturizer can still work when applied to dry skin, but applying it while the skin is still slightly damp can help trap water in the skin and minimize the increased water loss that can occur after washing.
In this short, Dr. Dray explains the science behind moisturizing damp skin and why applying moisturizer soon after bathing or cleansing can be a helpful habit for supporting the skin barrier, especially if the skin tends to be dry.
