How to Layer Body Serum Under Lotion

Apply serum to slightly damp skin, let it absorb for 30 seconds, then seal with lotion.

Most people skip body serums because they think it's extra steps, but it's actually more efficient—your lotion works better and lasts longer.

1. Start with damp skin. Pat skin until it's 80% dry after showering. The residual moisture helps the serum spread evenly and penetrate deeper.
2. Apply serum in sections. Work one body part at a time—arms, legs, torso. Use gentle upward strokes and don't rush the application.
3. Wait for absorption. Give the serum 30-60 seconds to sink in before layering lotion. You'll feel when the tackiness disappears.
4. Seal with lotion. Apply lotion using the same sectional approach. The serum creates a base that helps the lotion glide on smoothly.
