Hydration vs. moisture
Hydration = water (think toners, essences). Moisture = oil (think creams). Dry skin needs both — layer water-based hydration first, then seal it in with a richer cream.
The '7-skin method'
A K-beauty classic: pat on 7 thin layers of hydrating toner instead of one thick one. Each layer absorbs, building deep hydration without heaviness.
Ingredients to seek
Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, snail mucin, ceramides, and panthenol are your friends. Avoid high-alcohol products, which accelerate moisture loss.
