If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve seen it…
Slow-motion mists,
Serum dripping down cheeks,
Influencers patting on layer after layer of product until they’re practically as glazed as a donut.
That’s the current trend, skin flooding.
The idea is to load your skin with as much hydration as possible in one sitting, essentially
flooding it until it can no longer absorb any more.
Sounds indulgent.
Feels satisfying to watch.
Yet… bad things happen when floods happen.
Floods aren’t good for your basement, your shoes, or your phone.
They’re not always good for your skin either.
So… What Is Skin Flooding?
Skin flooding is the practice of layering multiple hydrating products, often in quick succession, to
saturate your skin.
Usually, it looks something like this:
● Hydrating mist
● Hyaluronic acid serum
● Another serum (or two)
● A rich cream
● Oil on top (so. much. oil.) for sealing
On TikTok, this routine is shown as the ultimate cure for dry, dull, or dehydrated skin.
While hydration is important, flooding without balance can leave you… Well, soggy.Skin Flooding Isn’t The Flex You Think It Is
Skin loves balance. Hydration is just one part of the equation.
Without proper exfoliation to clear dead skin cells, or stimulation to keep collagen production
healthy, flooding can lead to:
● Clogged pores and breakouts
● Over hydrated, mushy skin barrier
● Inflammation and redness
● Wasted product (and money)
Oh, and if your barrier is already compromised? You’re just trapping the problem under more
layers.
Slugging, Flooding, & The Ongoing Skin Trend Cycle
We’ve seen it before: slugging, glass skin, skin cycling, dolphin skin, frosting… the list goes on.
The names change, the filters get better, and the overpromising stays the same.
We’re so not about trends that we barely keep track of them.
Not because we don’t care, but because skin health isn’t something you can hack in 30 seconds.
Hydrate, yes.
But also exfoliate, stimulate, and protect.
Skin health isn’t a single viral step.
It’s the sum of consistent, thoughtful rituals.
The Problem With Chasing Every TikTok Skincare Trend
The skincare industry makes a lot of money on impulse.
Sephora, Ulta, etc., they’re built to keep you trying the next thing.
New miracle ingredient, new holy grail product, new $70 serum that might be the one.
But, when it’s not? There’s another shiny product waiting for you.It’s exhausting.
It keeps you from actually building the skin health you want.
Skin Health Over Skincare
We don’t chase trends here at The Skin Society.
We don’t buy into the next big thing.
We definitely don’t let the skincare industry tell us what’s in or out this month.
Why? Because skin health is not skincare.
It’s not about collecting bottles, following the latest routine you saw on TikTok, or layering every
product in your bathroom in hopes something sticks.
Skin health is the long game.
It’s about:
● Understanding your skin’s unique needs instead of guessing
● Consistency — because lasting change comes from what you do every day, not once in a while
● Expert guidance — because your skin deserves more than influencer advice
● Balance — hydration, yes, but also exfoliation, stimulation, and protection
● Sustainability — for your time, your money, and your actual life
The truth is, you don’t need a shelf full of serums to have great skin. What you need is a
streamlined strategy, the right few products, used the right way, so every step in your ritual
works in the right way for your skin. We cut the clutter, keep what counts, and fill only the gaps
that move you toward your skin goals.
Trends distract. Strategy delivers the skin you’ve been chasing.
That’s the difference. The beauty industry wants you to believe your next serum is the solution.
We know better.
Good skin isn’t built in a haul video…
It’s built in the consistent work you do every day with the right plan.The [First Name] Experience At The Skin Society
The [First Name] Experience is our answer to the noise of the skincare industry.
It’s where we stop guessing and start building.
This isn’t a facial.
It’s not a consult.
It’s your personal skin strategy session for the year ahead.
Here’s how it works:
1. We talk. One-on-one with a licensed provider to understand your skin, your goals, and
your lifestyle.
2. We look. Baseline photos and a full review of your current products — yes, bring them
all.
3. We edit. We’ll curate your at-home ritual so every product has a purpose.
4.We plan. A custom treatment map for the year — what to do, when to do it, and why it
matters.
5. We start. You’ll get an in-suite treatment that kicks off your plan immediately.
It’s a year of your skin…
Simplified, clarified, and designed for you.
No TikTok trend required.
Chasing trends will most likely lead you to more products in your bathroom…
But committing to a strategy will get you better skin.
