Hacks to Get the Most Out of Your Signature Moisturizer

Often thought of as just the final step to lock in hydration, the right moisturizer can actually do so much more. Whether you're looking to level up your glow, keep your skin hydrated all day, or prep for a flawless makeup finish, we’ve got you covered. Here are three unexpected tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your skin’s best friend: the Signature Moisturizer.

Hack #1. Make a “Moisture Sandwich”

If your skin struggles with dryness or dehydration, the "moisture sandwich" technique might just be a game-changer. This hack involves layering your moisturizer in a way that traps water into your skin, giving you deep and lasting hydration.
How to layer:
    1. Start by lightly dampening your skin with water or a hydrating mist right after cleansing.
    2. Apply a generous layer of the Signature Moisturizer to seal in the water.
    3. Optional step for dry areas: Add a balm, such as Aquaphor or Vaseline, over the moisturizer to lock everything in.
Why this works: Applying moisturizer to damp skin helps prevent transepidermal water loss (basically, the evaporation of water from your skin's surface). The balm adds an extra layer to keep moisture sealed—perfect for those colder months.

Hack #2. Brighten Your Undereyes

Did you know that your moisturizer can double as an eye cream? That’s right—there's no need for a dedicated product if you’re using the Signature Moisturizer. It's formulated with everything you need to keep your under-eyes smooth, plump, and bright.

Why this works: The Signature Moisturizer is formulated with vitamin C and superfruit extracts to help brighten dull undereyes. The skin around your eyes is thinner and more prone to dehydration and sagging. The Signature Moisturizer delivers firming peptides and super hydrators to help reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines.

Expert tip: To target dark undereyes, apply a layer of the
FutureBright Vitamin C Serum first before finishing with the Signature Moisturizer.

Hack #3. Try It as a Primer

Who says makeup and skincare can’t work hand-in-hand? Your moisturizer is the perfect product to create a smooth, silky base for your makeup. The Signature Moisturizer not only hydrates but leaves your skin with a soft, dewy finish—perfect for making your foundation glide on effortlessly.
Why this works: Hydrated skin makes for better makeup application. Cracking, caking, and uneven blending are often caused by dry patches that makeup clings to. A moisturizer creates a barrier between your skin and the makeup, ensuring a smoother finish and longer-lasting wear.

The Power of the Signature Moisturizer

The Signature Moisturizer is expertly formulated to meet all your skin’s needs. From plumping hydration to a radiant finish, it’s an all-in-one hero product ready to simplify your routine. When paired with these tips, it works harder and smarter for your skin.
