World Sandwich Day…For Your Skin? The Skincare Sandwich Your Retinol Will Love
Today is World Sandwich Day so let’s talk about the skincare sandwich. Just like your favourite comfort food, it’s all about layering the good stuff for delicious results.
In colder months, when skin tends to feel dry or sensitised, layering hydrating and protective products before and after powerful actives like retinol helps to buffer irritation and lock in moisture. This sandwich method prevents the dreaded ‘retinol uglies’, the dryness, peeling, and redness that can come with using retinol in winter.
How to do it:
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Apply a thin layer of a rich, nourishing balm like WONDERBALM to create a hydrating base.
- Follow with your retinol product.
- Seal it all in with another light layer of WONDERBALM to lock in moisture and comfort.
WONDERBALM – the sandwich secret weapon:
WONDERBALM, £29, caters to a broad variety of face, body and beauty needs. It absorbs quickly while enriching skin with vitamins and antioxidants. Harnessing the power of Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Candelilla Wax, Orange Peel Oil and Vegetable Oil, it moisturises, protects, and promotes a natural glow.
