A habit after washing your face: Pat with clean hands to absorb.

The moment immediately after washing your face, before opening the bathroom door and stepping out, is the most important moment to preserve your skin's moisture.

After washing your face and drying it, your pores are open, causing your skin to rapidly lose moisture to the air. This resulting "transepidermal water loss" is the main culprit behind skin dryness and aging. Therefore, it is recommended to spray a mist immediately before leaving the bathroom to form a protective moisture barrier. However, if left unattended after spraying, the mist can evaporate and take away your skin's original moisture as well; thus, it is essential to either gently pat it in with clean hands to aid absorption or immediately apply basic skincare products to lock in the moisture.
