If your skin feels dry after every shower, this trend might be worth trying.
A new Korean skincare trend called "Hyal Shower" is gaining attention online. Instead of waiting until after your shower, the idea is to apply a hydrating moisturizer beforehand to help reduce moisture loss while showering.
While it's not a medically proven skincare rule, many people with dry or dehydrated skin say it helps their skin feel more comfortable after showering. The routine focuses on protecting the skin barrier rather than replacing moisture afterward.
If you want to try it, look for products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, or ceramides, and avoid exposing your face to hot water for too long.
