💦 Hydration vs. Moisture – What’s the Difference? 💦
Ever feel like your skin is still dry even after applying moisturizer? 🤔 You might need hydration AND moisture! Here’s the key difference:
🔹 Hydration = Water 💧
• Hydrating products add water to your skin.
• Look for humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera to attract water and keep skin plump.
• Best for dehydrated skin (tight, dull, fine lines).
🔹 Moisture = Oil 🧴
• Moisturizing products seal in hydration and prevent water loss by strengthening the skin barrier.
• Ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, squalane, and facial oils help lock in moisture.
• Best for dry skin (flaky, rough, irritated). Do not use oils or shea butter if you are acne prone!!!!
✨ The Perfect Routine? Hydrate first with a water-based serum, then moisturize to lock it all in! 🔐
