Watery lotions are the essential first step (after cleansing) in any dedicated skincare routine. 

These lotions nourish and prep skin to absorb the benefits of every treatment that follows. Looking for our most-loved facial essence to help your skin glow? We recommend La Mer's The Treatment Lotion. Not only does it immerse skin in liquid energy and hydration, it also delivers visible youth-boosting benefits to diminish the look of lines and wrinkles and reveal firmer-feeling skin.

Morning and night after cleansing, sprinkle a small amount of your watery lotion onto fingertips or saturate a cotton pad for application. The lotion should be gently patted into skin. Follow with your serum, eye treatment, moisturizer and makeup once lotion has been absorbed and skin is slightly damp to the touch.

If you’re looking to amp up your glow, let us introduce you to the art of layering. Start with a couple of drops of The Treatment Lotion to create a foundation of healing hydration. Once absorbed, follow with a couple of drops of The Hydrating Infused Emulsion to immediately saturate skin with all-day hydration. Then, simply seal in all the benefits with an ultra-rich layer of Crème de la Mer and say hello to phenomenally soft skin.

The first step in every skincare routine is to use cleanser and toner. Silky treatments generally absorb faster than thicker creams, so we recommend using texture as a guide when determining your skincare routine steps, starting with fluid treatments and ending with creams. Apply watery lotions next, then follow with The Hydrating Infused Emulsion, your serum,  eye treatment and moisturizer—and don’t forget to top it off with some sun protection in the AM.
