Why Hydration Is Important For Your Skin?

Dry, oily, sensitive or combination – hydration is indispensable for all skin types. Here is a quick refresher on the many benefits of hydration.

1. Upholds The Acid Mantle: Ample hydration is essential for a sturdy lipid barrier. For those unaware, the lipid barrier or acid mantle acts as the first line of defence for your body. It helps ward off pollutants and aggressors for healthy, happy skin.

2. Reverses Skin Ageing: Ageing is natural and beautiful, however, its early signs can be a little disconcerting for many. Regular and sustained hydration to the skin helps soften premature wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and more.

3. Prevents Dryness And Dullness: Dehydrated skin can appear dry, flaky and even dull in some instances. A tall glass of water for the dermis helps revive it to its former glory.

4. Controls Sebum Production: The lack of hydration often cues the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. This can be counterproductive to efforts for a balanced microbiome – especially for people with oily or combination skin.

5. Helps Your Skin Heal: Hydrated skin recovers faster from nicks, cuts and bruises. Continued and mutl-level hydration of the skin plays an important role in your skin’s health and healing.

Hydration Vs Moisturization: How Are They Different 

The two terms, often used interchangeably, serve different purposes for your skin. Let’s delve into these here.

1. Hydration: The process of hydration replenishes your skin’s moisture reservoir. Ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine (& other such humectants) bind water molecules to the skin, keeping it soft and supple. 

2. Moisturization: Regular moisturization of the skin prevents the loss of water molecules. A potent moisturizer forms a barrier on the dermis, doubling down on efforts for continued hydration. 

Luckily, Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramides checks both these boxes. It ensures multi-level hydration while reinforcing the skin's moisture barrier. The result is hydrated, glowing and supple skin all day long.

Why Should You Try Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer With Ceramides 

1. The unique formula helps hydrate your skin by 5X. Olive Oil in the blend is also deeply nourishing and soothing – making this cream a great fit for sensitive skin.

2. Ceramides and Vitamin E in the formula form a protective shield against external aggressors and pollutants, making it the best glowing skin moisturizer.

3. Our moisturizer uses the Barrier Repair Formula that helps reverse any damage. Additionally, the cream replenishes your skin’s ceramide levels for its taut and supple appearance.

How To Use The Hydrating Moisturizer With Ceramide

You can use Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer in your morning and nighttime skincare routine. But before you whip out this jar of nourishing goodness, here are the steps you must follow.

1. Cleanse First: Cleansing removes dirt, grime and impurities from the pores, ensuring a healthy microbiome. Foxtale’s Hydrating Face Wash guarantees a thorough cleanse without overdrying the skin. Additionally, it contains humectants like Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extracts that help double down on efforts for hydration. Alternatively, for oily skin, you can use the Acne Control Face Wash with Salicylic Acid. The star ingredient, Salicylic Acid, curbs sebum production without disrupting your skin’s pH.

2. Serums For Treatment: Next, apply your concern-led serum to target underlying concerns. To combat dark spots and boost your skin’s glow – Vitamin C serum should be your go-to formula. For oil control, our Niacinamide Serum, for acne, try our AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum and for hydration, try Foxtale’s Hydrating Serum.

3. Moisturize And Hydrate: Now, use a coin-sized amount of our Hydrating Moisturizer to add (more) and seal the dermis’ water content. This protective layer also holds the active ingredients, therefore boosting its effectiveness

4. SPF SPF SPF: Apply two fingers’ worth of sunscreen SPF 50 on your skin 15 minutes before stepping outdoors. Use a broad-spectrum formula that shields your skin against UVA and UVB radiations.

Hydration: Hydration helps replenish your skin’s water reservoir. This is where humectants like Hyaluronic Acid come into the picture. 

If you are wondering which one you need in your daily skincare – the simple answer is both. To reiterate, hydration is indispensable for your skin’s health. But all efforts for skin hydration become futile if you don’t have a moisturizer to seal the water bank.

Common examples of humectants include Hyaluronic Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycerin and more. 

 What Are The Many Benefits Of Hydration? 

1. It reinforces the lipid barrier: Adequate hydration is crucial for a healthy, sturdy barrier. For those unaware, the lipid or skin barrier serves as the first wall of defence for your body. It tactfully averts free radicals, UV rays, pollutants and other aggressors.
