Does Pressing Your Moisturizer Into Your Skin Actually Work"
We?ve all probably heard this sage advice before: Instead of rubbing or smearing (I know, ew) skin-care products like moisturizers and serums onto your face, gently press them into your skin à la Clarins for the best results. And if my hyaluronic acid?s packaging and two separate estheticians are to be believed, the motion is supposed to promote lymphatic drainage and cut down on tugging, making gravity the only downward force wreaking havoc on your youthful appearance. Ok, sure.

Maybe you heard that advice and it went in one ear and out the other, or maybe you took it to heart and have spent every night of your life carefully pushing said products into your face while you stare at your reflection in the mirror, smug with self-satisfaction. But one thing?s for sure: We kind of have no idea if it actually works. To find out, we turned to dermatologist and all-around awesome person Dr. Annie Chiu, who?s based out of Los Angeles. ?This has to do with occlusion more?not drainage,? she tells me, throwing the idea that pushing molecules into your face will help drain your lymphatic system any better than a regular ol? face massage right out the window. ?In theory, occlusion of any type can drive active ingredients into the skin more. For example, when treating severe eczema, some dermatologists recommend Saran-wrapping your skin after using medications to drive them in more effectively.?
