Waking up to supple, soft skin doesn’t have to be difficult. All you need is a hydrating nighttime routine that deeply rejuvenates your skin. For those unaware, hydration is indispensable to skin health. It promotes a healthy lipid barrier, accelerates skin healing and reverses ageing by softening fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. Moreover, while your skin undergoes repair and renewal at night, sufficient hydration ensures maximum productivity.
So, if you want a nighttime skincare routine, we have a little treat for you. Scroll ahead for a Foxtale-approved regime with the best Hydrating products.
But before we get to this step-by-step guide, let’s refresh our hydration basics.
What Is Hydration?
The process of hydration involves binding water molecules to the skin. For this to be successful, one must turn to humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Lactic Acid and more in skincare.
Case in point, hero hydrator, Hyaluronic Acid, holds X1000 water molecules in its weight to the dermis.
How is Hydration Different From Moisturization?
While many use hydration and moisturization interchangeably, there is a clear distinction between the two. Hydration adds moisture molecules to the skin for its soft, supple appearance. On the other hand, the process of moisturization involves sealing this hydration with the help of emollients and occlusives.
In simple terms, moisturization helps double down on efforts for hydration.
What Are The Benefits Of Hydration?
We have briefly glanced at the benefits of hydration in the intro. Scroll ahead for more
1. Hydration keeps the skin younger-looking: If you want to reverse ageing, consider timely (and regular hydration for the skin). It will instantly plump up your skin, making you feel confident and attractive.
2. Hydration reduces fine lines and wrinkles: The premature formation of fine lines and wrinkles can bog you down. To stay ahead of the game, ensure daily hydration to the skin. Humectants like HA, Glycerine, Aquaporin Boosters, Glycerine and more soften these lines, making your skin taut and smooth.
3. Hydration accelerates healing: Studies suggest that hydrated skin heals faster from cuts, nicks and wounds.
4. Hydration soothes inflammation: Extreme dryness, underlying sensitivities, a weakened barrier, acne and many other factors can lead to inflammation on the skin. But all you need is a hydrating skincare to help offset any redness, rashes, hives and flare-ups.
5. Enhances the appearance of dark circles: Tired of panda eyes? Get your mitts on a hydrating skincare for the PM. You see, the lack of hydration makes your skin pale – exposing the network of enlarged blood vessels a.k.a. dark circles.
6. Hydration upholds oily skin: To clear any confusion, hydration is vital for all skin types. In the case of oily skin, lack of hydration flags off the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. This leads to more greasiness or shine on the face than you began with.
7. Hydration removes dryness and flakiness: The lack of hydration can make your skin appear dry and flaky. Use a hydrating serum or cream to revive these spots and patches, ensuring an even texture.
8. Hydration bolsters the lipid barrier: Sustained hydration keeps the lipid barrier intact. For those unaware, the lipid barrier serves as the first wall of defence for the body. It keeps harmful pathogens, germs, pollutants and other aggressors at bay.
Why Should I Hydrate My Skin Overnight?
The skin has a circadian rhythm and conducts repair and renewal activities at night. It also produces Collagen at the highest possible level. To ensure optimal efficiency in carrying out the above activities, adequate skin hydration is necessary.
Moreover, at night, the lipid barrier is absorbent. This can often lead to dramatic water loss a.k.a. dehydration. Using hydrating products in the form of a cleanser, serum or moisturizer helps replenish your skin’s moisture reservoir.
