⏱ 1 min read
⚡ Quick answer: Skin flooding, sometimes called double glazing, is a hydration trend of layering watery humectant products on damp skin then sealing with a moisturizer, for a plump, dewy look. It echoes long-standing Korean layering ideas like the 7-skin method rather than being entirely new.
