In cooler climates, what is the suggested application order when using Ximenia oil for very dry facial skin?

Apply oil as a pre-serum primer before hyaluronic acid.

A specific advanced application technique is recommended for maximizing hydration benefits on very dry facial skin in cooler environments. The suggested method involves utilizing the Ximenia oil's excellent absorption qualities, derived from its high oleic content, as a pre-serum primer. This means the oil is applied first onto the cleansed skin. Following the application of the oil layer, a water-based product, such as a hyaluronic acid serum, is applied on top. This layered approach is strategic: the oil seals and protects the surface barrier, while simultaneously locking in the water-based hydration provided by the subsequent hyaluronic acid product beneath the oil layer, optimizing the skin's ability to draw in and retain water.
