Rough, sunken or dull skin – the above symptoms may allude to dehydration. For the unversed, dehydration occurs when your skin’s moisture bank is running low. It is a prevalent skin concern and is not to be confused with dryness (which is a skin type).  

Unsure if your skin is dehydrated or not? Here’s a simple test to help you determine. Using two fingers, pinch the skin at the back of your hand. If it bounces back within 3 to 4 seconds, your skin is hydrated. Else, we urge you to continue reading this blog.  

To help restore your skin to its former glory, we bring you a Foxtale-approved cheatsheet of the best hydration products. But before we get there, let’s understand hydration and its many benefits. 

What Is Hydration?

Hydration is the process of binding water molecules to the skin, ensuring its soft, supple appearance. The best way to hydrate your skin is by adhering to a morning and nighttime skincare ritual with humectants-infused products (more on that later). 

What Are The Best Ingredients To Hydrate? 

Place your trust in water-loving humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Aquaporin Boosters, Glycerin, Lactic Acid and more. As discussed earlier – the topical application of these humectants improves your skin’s water-holding capacity. 

What Are The Benefits Of Skin Hydration? 

Hydration is not a matter of choice in your skincare routine. In fact, regular hydration is indispensable to healthy, happy skin. Here’s a closer look at the many benefits of hydration.

1. Sustained hydration restores your skin’s youthful appearance while dwindling the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

2. If you grapple with dry, flaky patches, ensure daily hydration for the skin. Humectants like HA, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, etc conquer all, ensuring smooth, even texture.

3. Hydration also plays a pivotal role in reinforcing the lipid barrier. For the unversed, the lipid or skin barrier serves as the first wall of defence for your body. It keeps menacing aggressors, pollutants, and impurities at bay.

4. Hydration ensures a balanced microbiome for oily skin. You see, the lack of hydration triggers the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. Results? More greasiness than usual.

5. Expert studies suggest that hydration accelerates your skin’s healing process. Additionally, humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Betaine, and Alpha-Bisabolol offsets episodes of inflammation.
