One of the outstanding beauty trends of 2023 on the TikTok platform cannot fail to mention Skin Flooding with positive scientific and experimental evidence. However, this method has existed for a long time under a different name and is a characteristic of the standard Korean skin care style.

If you've ever had a problem with acne or want to have <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/breathing-techniques-skin-benefits-acne-skincare-breathwork" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glowing skin</a> and use special skin products, no matter what skin type you have, you must have been more or less warned or experiencing irritated or dry skin, especially around the mouth and sides of the nose. It is no coincidence that people are immediately attracted to Skin Flooding. Because anyone who starts skincare is also aiming for shiny skin with small pores, it is essential to include active ingredients such as BHA, AHA, retinoids and niacinamide with the side effects of easy irritation or peeling, &ldquo;flooding&rdquo; on your skin promises a hydrated, reddened skin and a mirror-like shine &ndash; an &ldquo;ultimate&rdquo; goal of any <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/skincare-ingredients-you-should-mix-routine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare</a> fanatic.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Skin Flooding</h2>
Skin Flooding is a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/viral-tiktok-beauty-products-best-shopping-makeup-hair-skincare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> viral term circa early 2023 to refer to the method of stacking multiple water-based serums and hydrating toners in a certain order in a skin care routine to provide optimal hydration. The products are not too dense in texture and too strong in their nourishing effects, but when combined with the right dose, the various nourishing functions complement each other while helping to keep skin from becoming clogged.

<h2>The key is to keep the skin moist and choose the right active ingredients</h2>
Instead of waiting for your skin to dry out after washing &ndash; a common advice, skin that is still moist helps to increase the absorption and effectiveness of the next product. Basically, still with the familiar skincare process and flexible application depending on the individual, Skin Flooding includes moisturising active ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid, Glycerin and Niacinamide, which can be added after the cleansing step to optimize the effect. Hydrating the skin as well as helping the next product penetrate better. So the skin care process with Skin Flooding will be: makeup remover - cleansing - toner - serum containing hyaluronic acid - serum containing niacinamide - cream. &nbsp;

Regarding the scientific logic to explain this method, the first serum contains a humectant, typically hyaluronic acid. Therefore, "if you apply it when the skin is not dry or the fingers are still wet, hyaluronic acid will draw the necessary amount of water from there instead of absorbing it directly from the skin," according to Joshua Zeichner - Research Director of Cosmetic Pharmaceutical Research on dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital (New York). Once the moisture is in place, the second serum contains niacinamide, which is in charge of soothing, anti-inflammatory, "reinforces the natural protective barrier and reduces water loss, thereby helping to minimize pores" - according to Ellen Marmur , Dermatologist with 20 years of experience and founder of MMSkincare (New York). The final cream "locks" all products to stay on the skin for a long time. During the day, don't forget to add SPF at the end of the cycle.

<h2>Does Skin Flooding Cause Acne?</h2>
It can be said that Skin Flooding is one of the safest skin care trends from TikTok because it recommends gentle moisturizing products and can be applied to all skin types (of course, it needs to be flexibly adjusted to suit). For oily or acne-prone skin, you don't necessarily need to stack so many products because it can cause congestion. However, if you still want to test whether Skin Flooding can bring unexpected results, products that are fragrance-free and do not contain active ingredients (retinol, benzoyl peroxide, etc.) will be safer for the skin. Alternatively, you can reduce the frequency of the routine during the week.

<h2>Skin Flooding - New idea but familiar with Korean standard skin care</h2>

Besides the scientific explanation and many successful application examples shared on social networks, one more reason for you to try applying Skin Flooding to hydrated skin. Stacking multiple layers of care or "skin layering" with a 7- or 10-step skin care cycle is a typical Korean skincare method that focuses on deep and long-term care as well as strengthening the skin barrier instead of restoring damage. It is easy to see, however, thanks to social networks, a skin care secret of the country where beautiful "oppa", "unnie" has spread widely, amidst the era of minimalist skin care is also gradually popular.
