Healthy, glowing skin starts with hydrating skincare. When your skin is optimally hydrated, it looks and feels plump, smooth and radiant. On the contrary, when your skin is dehydrated, it can feel tight, dry and flaky, showing more fine lines and wrinkles.
This skin moisture guide will teach you how to boost skin hydration with the best hydration enhancement products.
Hydration is non-negotiable for maintaining the health and appearance of your skin. Here's what hydrated skin and a strengthened skin barrier could do for you:
Safeguard your skin from environmental threats such as pollution and UV rays.
Reveal plumper and smoother skin, which lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improve your skin's elasticity so it's less prone to damage.
Radiates a natural, healthy, gorgeous glow.
Here are some key steps to enhance your skin's hydration:
Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated.
Choose a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Look for sulfate-free and pH-balanced formulas.
Exfoliate your skin on a weekly basis to get rid of impurities, making way for hydrating products to soak into your skin.
Select a moisturiser for your skin type. If you have dry skin, look for a richer cream. If you have oily skin, opt for a lightweight lotion or gel.
Incorporate serums for concentrated doses of intense hydration. Look for facial serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerine, or aloe vera.
Consider a facial oil to lock in moisture and help strengthen the protective barrier on your skin.
Treat your skin to a hydrating mask once to twice a week to boost moisture levels.
Adjust your hydration routine depending on the season. In winter, you may need richer, more hydrating products, while in summer, lighter formulations may be sufficient.
Don't over-wash your face, stripping away its natural oils, leading to dryness. Stick to cleansing twice a day, morning and night.
Use lukewarm water to avoid your face drying out when cleansing and showering.
Softly pat your face with a towel instead of rubbing your face dry, which often irritates the skin barrier.
Use a humidifier if you live in drier provinces or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned offices. These help to put moisture back into the air and prevent your precious skin from drying out.
Protect your skin from dehydration by always wearing a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
