WHY IS SKIN HYDRATION SO IMPORTANT?

We all want to have a perfectly hydrated face, but no matter how many beauty tricks we use, there are many reasons that prevent us from achieving perfect skin hydration. When this happens we tend to blame genetics, but in reality, genetics have very little to do with skin health. In fact, the main cause of dull and uneven skin is dehydration.

We all know that we need to hydrate the skin (we must drink between 1 and 2 liters of water a day, eat a balanced diet and use moisturizing creams), but sometimes laziness gets the better of us and we forget to put it into practice. Especially if we are unaware of the benefits of proper hydration for the skin.

Benefits of moisturizing the skin

If you don't know how this process can help you, take note, after reading the article you won't want to skip this step in your skincare routine ever again.

Moisturizing the skin makes it more resilient

Proper hydration makes the skin's water levels balanced and the protective barrier stronger and more flexible, which leads to more delicate and thinner areas of the body, such as the face, being protected from external aggressors such as the weather, pollution or makeup itself.

In addition to drinking water regularly, you should use a moisturizing face cream both day and night. Your moisturizer should have SPF to protect you from the sun, no matter what time of year it is, or apply it with a separate product.

Moisturizing the face to prevent dryness

If the sun is one of the skin's greatest enemies in summer, the cold and dry air are its greatest rivals in autumn. In this case, the best thing to do is to use a nourishing moisturizer that intensifies the skin's repair and regeneration process to combat dehydration and a dull complexion.

Biotherm's AQUASOURCE moisturizing range is formulated with your skin type in mind. AquaSource Hyalu Plump Gel provides a refreshing sensation as it absorbs without leaving any greasy residue, just the skin hydration needed to keep it healthy.

If your skin is dry, Aquasource Cica Nutri Cream is perfect for maintaining and moisturizing your skin, thanks to centella asiatica that soothes and repairs.

Moisturizing the face improves its appearance

We often find ourselves with a puffy, rough face, where pimples, blackheads, dark circles and skin blemishes are more noticeable. Dehydration weakens the skin and makes it more sensitive to imperfections. It is therefore important to moisturize the skin of the face to eliminate fluid retention that accumulates in the eyelids, preventing the appearance of imperfections and, above all, restoring its natural glow.

All this can be achieved with the extra help provided by serums. This is the most effective product for treating specific skin problems, as its high concentration of active ingredients penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin.

So, if you want to make your face more radiant, you can use a hydrating serum such as Biotherm's Aquasource Aura Concentrate. This serum combines a double biphasic texture, a more oily one provided by the natural oils of macadamia nut and squalene, and an aqueous one produced by the Biotech Plankton™ and Aura Leaf microorganisms.

You can use it morning and night for a refreshed look, mix it with your moisturizer for extra skin hydration or even apply a couple of drops after makeup on the high points of your face to enhance its natural glow.

Proper skin hydration prevents wrinkles

Dehydrated skin is one of the main reasons for premature aging. As the skin weakens, it dries out and loses its ability to repair itself, which accelerates the aging process. If you don't want the first signs of aging to appear prematurely, don't be afraid to use an anti-wrinkle cream now.

Although the natural age to start using it is 30, experts agree in recommending its use much earlier to properly moisturize the skin and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

A moisturizer that prevents the signs of skin aging and is suitable for all skin types, enriched with bioceramides: Aquasource Hydra Barrier Cream is perfect for meeting the skin's moisturizing needs and strengthening the skin barrier against external aggressions.
