The difference between hydration and moisturizing

Many people say that hydrating and moisturizing are the same, both of which increase the moisture of the skin. Hydration and moisturizing are actually two different concepts. Hydration starts from the surface of the skin and can only replenish the moisture on the surface of the skin. Moisture cannot be replenished into the deeper layers of the skin. This is because moisture deep within the skin cannot be replenished from the skin's surface. Moisturizing can keep the moisture deep in the skin.

Cleansing products such as 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.

After cleansing, of course, you need to spray toner. The biggest function of toner is to hydrate the stratum corneum. It is a hydrating product, but its moisturizing effect is not long-lasting. If you just pat the skin surface gently with your hands, the moisture will stay for a very short time. If you press it with a cotton ball or cotton pad, the effect will be much better. Don’t think that moisturizing is that simple. The previous steps are just the basic work of moisturizing. The most important thing is the care of essence cream and facial cream. Don't be too impatient. 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. The last moisturizing trick is to use a sleeping mask.

If you want to have good skin, you should eat more fruits. When choosing fruits, choose some that are not too sweet. If the fruits are too sweet, it means that the sugar content is high and can absorb moisture from the skin. Another thing is to apply toner or moisturizer on your face immediately after washing it to retain moisture as much as possible. Don’t wait until the cleanser dries up before applying it.
