One of the biggest mistakes I see is relying on moisturizer alone for hydration. As an aesthetician, I’ve used an essence for years because it helps add that first layer of hydration before serums and moisturizer. Think of it like watering the soil before planting. When skin is properly hydrated, everything that follows can work more effectively. If your skin still feels dry, tight, or dull no matter what moisturizer you’re using, an essence might be the missing step. Have you tried one before? #SkincareOver40 #MatureSkinCare #HydratedSkin #SkincareTips
