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.
-
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. -
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. -
Moisturizers Matter
Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera—ingredients that draw and retain moisture effectively. -
Ditch Harsh Cleansers
Cleansers that strip your skin can ruin your moisture barrier. Go for gentle, sulfate-free options. -
Weather Has a Say
Cold air, sun exposure, and even AC can zap moisture from your skin. Adjust your skincare routine seasonally. -
Glow Comes From Hydration
Want that dewy, plump look? Hydration is your shortcut to naturally radiant skin. -
Serum + Moisturizer = Power Pair
Apply hydrating serums first, then seal them in with a moisturizer. This helps lock in all the goodness. -
Go Easy on Exfoliation
Overdoing it can lead to microtears and dehydration. Be gentle, and don’t exfoliate more than needed. -
Strengthen Your Barrier
Ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide help your skin hold onto moisture better. -
Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Sun damage leads to dehydration. A daily SPF is a must—even indoors!
