Hydration vs. Moisturization: What Your Skin Really Needs
Share
Hydrated and moisturized skin are both essential for a healthy glow, but they aren’t the same thing! Understanding the difference between hydration and moisturization can help you choose the right products for your skin’s needs.
What is Hydration?
Hydration refers to the water content in your skin. If your skin looks dull and feels tight, it might be dehydrated. Hydrating products contain humectants, which draw water into the skin.
Best Ingredients for Hydration:
-
Aloe Vera
-
Hyaluronic Acid
-
Glycerin
-
Honey
What is Moisturization?
Moisturization helps seal hydration into the skin by creating a protective barrier. If your skin feels rough or flaky, it may need more moisture.
Best Ingredients for Moisturization:
-
Shea Butter
-
Mango Butter
-
Coconut Oil
-
Jojoba Oil
How to Hydrate & Moisturize Effectively
-
Use a hydrating cleanser – Our soaps contain skin-loving ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, and coconut milk to maintain hydration while cleansing.
-
Exfoliate regularly – Removing dead skin cells allows better absorption of hydrating and moisturizing ingredients.
-
Layer products – Start with hydration (such as honey-infused body polish), then lock it in with a rich body soufflé or body butter.
-
Drink plenty of water – Hydration starts from within, so keep your body nourished from the inside out.
Understanding your skin’s needs will help you choose the right products to maintain soft, healthy, and radiant skin year-round.
