If you want to revive dry skin, a hydrating serum should be on your radar. For those unaware, a hydrating serum improves your skin's water-holding capacity. This formulation usually contains one (or more) humectant that makes your skin soft, supple and radiant – banishing flaky, scaly texture. But that’s not all. A hydrating serum extends several other benefits for your skin. Scroll ahead to learn more about it in this blog.
Why Is Hydration Important?
Before we learn the importance of hydrating serums, let’s understand why hydration is important. For the unversed, sustained hydration is vital for your skin’s overall health. Here’s how -
1. Hydration keeps the lipid barrier intact, which serves as the first line of defence for your body.
2. Regular hydration reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet while making your skin supple and radiant.
3. Hydration is also responsible for accelerated healing of the skin. Use a humectant-infused serum to alleviate inflammation, redness, hives and more.
4. A serum with hyaluronic acid helps restore your skin’s youthful appearance. It reduces sagginess and make the skin instantly plumper.
5. What many might know – hydration also helps administer a healthy skin microbiome. Case in point, the lack of hydration cues the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode, leading to excess oiliness.
Why Pick A Hydrating Serum?
As discussed earlier, a hydrating serum is formulated with one (or more) humectant. This water-loving ingredient binds water molecules to the skin, ensuring sustained hydration.
While there are several hydrating skincare staples like cleansers and moisturisers, a facial serum is undoubtedly the most effective. This is due to two reasons .
1. A face serum carries a high concentration of active ingredients. This ensures visible results in a short time.
2. The thin, water-like consistency of a facial serum allows it to seep deep into the skin – adding to its efficacy.

2. Once your skin is dry, take a few drops of the serum and apply it to your face. Never rub the serum, as it may cause stress to your skin.
