I’ve found a new use for this over the counter healing ointment, that will change your life. Over the winters I’ve been using Aquaphor for dry spots on my skin, like elbows, feet and lips. After doing a little more research, I’ve discovered that Aquaphor, can actually make your night-time skincare routine work harder and better then ever before.
If you’re like me, and you invest in good skincare products, you expect to get the most out of them. Ensuring your favorite eye cream penetrates your skin completely, and doesn’t lose it’s potency via evaporation. The solution is to use a blanket like layer that will insure those ingredients stay on your skin. That’s where using Aquaphor comes in.
Aquaphor prevents water from evaporating from your face, helping to improve your layered skincare products to better penetrate the skin.
Aquaphor on it’s own wont give you moisturized skin because is an occlusive, this means it only acts as a top layer. For better results, layer products under it, and Aquaphor will create a protective barrier over your skin.
Next time you do your night-time skin routine, try the following. Eye cream, then moisturizer, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor over your face as the final step of your night-time skincare routine. It will act as a protective layer for those products, making sure all of their ingredients go where they need to, into the skin not in the air.
