The importance of hydration (both winter and summer)

The importance of hydration (both winter and summer)

In the quest for healthy skin, many often forget a crucial factor: hydration. Whether it is summer with the warm rays of the sun, or winter with the cold inclement wind, the need for hydration remains constant. You can achieve hydrated skin by strengthening the moisture balance and skin barrier. When these are in good condition, the skin will lose less moisture and feel more supple.

Summer skin care

In summer, we welcome the warmth of the sun, but we must not forget that overexposure to the sun and salty sea can dry out the skin, making it susceptible to damage and premature aging. Regular hydration is essential to maintain moisture levels, but can also help repair any damage caused by outside influences.

Winter skin care

In winter, on the other hand, our skin is exposed to cold temperatures and dry air, which can lead to flaky and cracked skin. The use of moisturizers and lotions forms a shield that protects the skin from drying out. Moreover, it helps to retain the skin’s natural oils, which is essential for maintaining a supple and youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid

But what should you pay attention to when looking for a suitable moisturizer? Hyaluronic acid is a powerful ingredient for deep hydration. This is a highly effective substance that can attract and retain moisture in the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water! If your skin is well hydrated, well “filled,” it will look tighter and firmer. Therefore, choose a cream that contains hyaluronic acid. In addition to hyaluronic acid, niacinamide is a powerful ingredient against moisture loss and skin aging, read more about this in our blog niacinamide the all-rounder.

Hydration from the inside out

A good hydration routine goes beyond just applying creams. It is essential to drink enough water throughout the day. Did you know that our skin gives off an average of one liter of water every day? Water is the basis of all cells in our body, and our skin is 70% water. Sufficient hydration from within ensures healthy cell structure and promotes skin elasticity.

Water-rich foods

In addition to water, there are also hydrating foods that can contribute to healthy skin. Consider water-rich fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber, watermelon and oranges. Not only do these foods provide moisture to your body, they also provide important vitamins and antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental damage.

In short, whether it is summer or winter, the importance of hydration for radiant skin cannot be stressed enough. It is a simple but powerful step in our daily skincare routine that can make a big difference. So, don’t forget to refill your water bottle and give your skin the love and care it deserves year-round!
