The power of hydration: a guide to radiant skin

Hydrated skin is the foundation for a healthy and radiant complexion. In this blog, we discuss the importance of hydration and how cosmetics can help you achieve this.

Why is hydration so important?

Did you know that 90% of skin problems are related to a lack of hydration? So time to hydrate your skin; because it is incredibly important.

Supple and elastic skin

Hydration makes your skin feel supple and elastic. This helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

A healthy barrier function

The skin barrier protects your skin from harmful external influences, such as UV rays and pollution. Hydration keeps this barrier function strong.

Optimal cell renewal

Well-hyperated skin cells renew themselves faster, giving your skin a fresher and healthier appearance.

How to hydrate your skin with cosmetics?

Use a moisturizing cream

Choose a cream suitable for your skin type. Apply it twice a day to cleansed skin.

Use a serum

Serums contain a high concentration of moisturizing ingredients. They penetrate deeper into the skin than creams and can provide a boost of hydration.

Use a hydrating mask

Using a hydrating mask once or twice a week is a great way to give your skin an extra hydration boost.

Exfoliate your skin regularly

By exfoliating your skin, you remove dead skin cells and make it easier for moisturizers to penetrate the skin properly.
