How to “Sandwich” Your Skincare for Glowing Skin This Autumn
As the leaves turn and the air cools, our skin often starts to feel the change - dryness, tightness, and dullness can all creep in. But TikTok may have delivered one autumn beauty trend that’s actually worth embracing: Skincare Sandwiching.
We believe in science-led routines that nourish and protect your skin barrier, and sandwiching is a perfect way to lock in hydration and make your active ingredients work harder.
What is the skincare “sandwich” method?
Think of it as layering your skincare like a delicious, moisture-rich sandwich. You start with a lightweight hydrating layer (your base), follow with a serum full of actives (the filling), and finish with a rich moisturiser to seal everything in (the top slice).
In essence, you’re “sandwiching” your most powerful skincare between two layers of hydration, helping your skin absorb actives more effectively while preventing moisture loss.
How to create your perfect skincare sandwich
Step 1: Hydrating base layer
Start by prepping your skin with a lightweight toner or essence to infuse instant hydration and improve absorption.
Try the PH Balancing & Brightening Rose Infusion Day Mist. This mist is a concentrated spray that aims to hydrate, protect, and energise skin at any time of day. Its fine texture envelops the face in a halo of freshness with a fruity fragrance.
Step 2: The active serum “filling”
Next comes your treatment layer - the heart of the sandwich. Whether you’re targeting dullness, uneven tone, or fine lines, this is where your actives shine.
Try the Eight Hour Retexturing & Anti‑Oxidising Hyaluronic Facial Serum. This serum blends hyaluronic acid and lipoic acid to deeply hydrate the skin and smooth texture, while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. It’s ideal for autumn when your skin barrier may be stressed by cooler air and indoor heating - it helps deliver a boost of active ingredients while your moisturiser seals them in.
Step 3: Seal it all in with moisture
Finish with a nourishing cream to lock in your actives and protect your skin barrier - this is especially important during the cooler months.
Try the Rose & Squalane Revitalising DUO Moisturiser. This luxurious cream envelops the skin in lasting hydration and radiance. Formulated with rose extract to calm and brighten, and squalane to replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier, it helps restore softness and elasticity while protecting against dryness. The result is a smooth, luminous complexion - the perfect final step to lock in your skincare sandwich.
Why sandwiching works
Each layer supports the next - hydration helps actives absorb more efficiently, while your final moisturiser prevents trans-epidermal water loss. The result? A plumper, smoother, more radiant complexion that stays balanced all season long.
Consistency is key. Over time, this layering method can help strengthen your skin barrier and improve overall glow - a small ritual that delivers big results.
