10 Things You Need to Know About Skin Hydration

At Haute and Chic, we believe glowing skin starts with one essential principle: hydration. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or combination, keeping it moisturized is non-negotiable for a healthy, radiant look. Here are 10 things every skincare lover should know about skin hydration.

1. Hydrated Skin Isn’t the Same as Oily Skin
   Yes, your skin can be oily and dehydrated. Oil is about sebum; hydration is about water. They’re not the same—and both need balance.

2. Drink Up, But Don’t Stop There
   Water intake supports your skin from the inside, but external care (like moisturizers and serums) is just as crucial.

3. Moisturizers Matter
   Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera—ingredients that draw and retain moisture effectively.

4. Ditch Harsh Cleansers
   Cleansers that strip your skin can ruin your moisture barrier. Go for gentle, sulfate-free options.

5. Weather Has a Say
   Cold air, sun exposure, and even AC can zap moisture from your skin. Adjust your skincare routine seasonally.

6. Glow Comes From Hydration
   Want that dewy, plump look? Hydration is your shortcut to naturally radiant skin.

7. Serum + Moisturizer = Power Pair
   Apply hydrating serums first, then seal them in with a moisturizer. This helps lock in all the goodness.

8. Go Easy on Exfoliation
   Overdoing it can lead to microtears and dehydration. Be gentle, and don’t exfoliate more than needed.

9. Strengthen Your Barrier
   Ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide help your skin hold onto moisture better.

10. Don’t Skip Sunscreen
    Sun damage leads to dehydration. A daily SPF is a must—even indoors!
