Why this worksAs temperatures rise, humidity levels can fluctuate, which may lead to dehydrated skin. Incorporating hydrating techniques can replenish your skin's moisture barrier and maintain a healthy glow. Understanding how to use water, oils, and humectants effectively can make a significant difference in how your skin feels and looks.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Drink Plenty of Water Staying hydrated from the inside out is crucial. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily to keep your skin plump and hydrated.
  2. Use a Hydrating Cleanser Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won't strip your skin of natural oils. Look for formulas with ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera.
  3. Layer with a Humectant Apply a humectant, such as hyaluronic acid, on damp skin after cleansing. This helps draw moisture into your skin and lock it in.
  4. Seal with Moisturiser Follow up with a lightweight moisturiser that contains emollients to create a barrier. This will prevent moisture loss and keep your skin supple.
  5. Incorporate Facial Mists Use a hydrating facial mist throughout the day to refresh your skin. Look for mists that contain soothing ingredients like rose water or cucumber extract.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to hydrate from the inside out by not drinking enough water. Others may use harsh cleansers that dry out the skin instead of hydrating ones. It's also common to skip the humectant step, thinking a moisturiser is enough on its own.

The pro moveTry using a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air, especially at night.
