Hydrating Products: All You Should Know For A Healthy Skin
Our skin becomes irritated, rough, and dry when our body is low on water content or, what most people would say, dehydrated. Rather than that, most would desire a glowing, dewy complexion that feels and looks fresh.
Hence, in this blog post, we will break down the fundamentals of using hydrating products and educate you on all you need to know about maintaining your skin’s hydration, from when to use hydrating cream to what hydrating cream does to your skin.
Are hydrating products the same as moisturising products?
Moisturising and hydrating are often termed interchangeably in skin care. However, they actually are two distinct functions. Hydrating products replenish the water in your skin, while moisturising products restore the protective lipid layer, also known as the natural fat layer, that helps to lock in moisture.
So, what is a hydrating product?
Maintaining a good level of hydration is fundamental for our skin to stay radiant, smooth, and plump. When our skin is dehydrated, it becomes flaky and dull, which leads to the development of premature fine lines. Hydrating internally by drinking lots of water, as well as externally by using hydrating products, helps to double your skin’s ability to stay hydrated and look glowing. An excellent hydrating product like our Bodyfarm Royal Jelly & Greek Yoghurt Serum Oil can help to hydrate not only your skin, but also for dry and frizzy hair.
What does a hydrating product do?
Hydrating products, when applied to the skin, help to replenish any water loss in our skin, enabling our skin to look velvety, softer, and plumper. Additionally, it is also able to protect the skin against environmental factors, such as pollution and wind. While most moisturisers function by trapping or holding water in our skin, hydrating products function to draw water from our skin’s deeper layers. Hence, it is an effective method to hydrate flaky, dry skin. Furthermore, hydrating products, in the process of plumping up the skin, also help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
What is an ideal hydrating product?
As mentioned above, hydration is key to ensuring our skin looks youthful, glowing, and plump. When your skin is well hydrated, it is able to protect itself better against environmental factors, such as UV rays and pollution. If you are looking to have bouncy, well-hydrated skin, then some organic ingredients you can look out for are Jojoba oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E.
Our Donkey Milk range of products made in Greece, comprising of hand creams, BodyMilk, and shower gels, are extremely moisturising and rich in regenerative properties. Not only do they protect and enhance your skin’s elasticity, they also protect your skin against environmental pollutions, allowing your skin to maintain its radiance and smooth touch.
Another ideal hydrating product would be Wotnot Naturals sunscreen. Besides protecting your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays properties, it contains ingredients, such as candelilla wax that helps to lock in moisture, jojoba oil that prevents skin cracking, and aloe vera leaf juice that helps to draw water from the skin’s deeper layer.
When to use hydrating products?
Using hydrating products is a quintessential aspect of a skincare routine, and if you have not yet incorporated it into yours, you should do so. The general rule of thumb is to apply it after showering and before you put on your makeup or sunscreen. This will help you to lock in moisture, preventing the skin from drying out and getting irritated. Hydrating products are not just limited to hydrating creams and lotions.
You can further enrich your skin’s hydration when you are showering using our best-selling hydrating shower gel series Bodyfarm Jasmine Shower Gel or Bodyfarm Olive Oil Shower Gel or when you apply a face mask with our Bodyfarm Age Defying Greek Yoghurt Face Mask.
