Fall is here and with winter is around the corner, it's the ideal time to hit the refresh button and make seasonal changes to your skin care routine.
One common misconception is that a richer moisturizer will address dehydrated skin. The simple truth is that loss of moisture is different than loss of hydration.
Dehydrated skin lacks water while dry skin lacks oil.
You cannot replenish dehydrated skin with a richer moisturizer...ever!
Hydration comes from the water in the layers of the skin. It protects and plumps the skin. You need to hydrate your skin externally and internally .
Moisture comes from the oil in the skin. When your skin is dry, you need to replenish the loss of oil.
What do we recommend to hydrate and moisturize your skin?
1. Introduce your skin to an elixir/toner
Drinking lots of water isn't enough. You need to hydrate your skin topically. When it isn't properly hydrated, it lacks plumpness and cannot function optimally. Once you introduce a hydrating elixir into your skin care regime, you will NEVER look back! Apply 6-10 spritzes onto the skin after cleansing and then follow with an oil serum. The elixir/toner will hydrate skin while allowing for better absorption of the serum and moisturizer.
