Reveal the difference between hydration and moisturizing to improve dry skin

Hydration is to directly replenish the water needed by skin cells. It not only moisturizes the surface of the skin, but also penetrates deep into the skin and closely combines with water-thirsty cells. Moisturizing products have a refreshing texture and very small molecules, which can quickly reach the bottom layer of the skin. Moisturizing essences and moisturizing masks are ideal hydrating products.

Moisturizing is to prevent the loss of moisture from the skin surface and form a moisturizing film on the outside to lock in moisture. After using toner, essence and mask, you should apply moisturizing cream immediately after moisturizing to lock the moisture and nutrients in the essence and mask into the skin.

How to Hydrate and Moisturize

1. Drink enough water, at least 8 large glasses of water a day. In addition to drinking water, don't forget to eat more fruits to help hydrate your skin.

2. Cleansing products such as facial cleansers often take away both moisture and oil from the face, so it is almost impossible to rely on them to moisturize the face. But facial cleansing still needs to be done, so you should choose a cleansing product with a gentler and more moisturizing texture to minimize water loss.

3. After cleansing, the next step is to spray toner. The biggest function of toner is to hydrate the stratum corneum. Use a toner that suits your skin type and gently pat the skin surface with your hands to help absorption. You can also pour the toner on a cotton pad, which can penetrate deeply into the skin texture, seal and pressurize it for better results.

4. Pay attention to the care of essence cream and facial cream. Wait until the toner is completely dry before applying essence and cream, which will be more conducive to absorption. To achieve better results, you can combine it with hand massage to lock moisture deeply into the bottom layer of the skin.

5. Take protective measures, such as using a parasol, a sun hat, and sunglasses, and it is best to apply sunscreen. Hydrate and calm the skin immediately after sun exposure. Keep a bottle of sunscreen with appropriate SPF in your bag to keep your skin moisturized and gently protected from the sun anytime and anywhere, minimizing irritation to your skin.

6. Spray mineral water or moisturizing lotion to prevent your skin from drying out when you feel your skin is dry. Especially in air-conditioned rooms, spraying it on your face can not only keep your skin moisturized, but also have a refreshing effect.
