Skin hydration is crucial for keeping your skin revitalised, radiant, and resilient against the effects of ageing and environmental stressors.
Did you know that maintaining your skin’s moisture balance involves not only boosting hydration but also preventing moisture loss?
Hydration goes beyond a basic skincare step—it’s essential for preserving the skin’s natural barrier, which prevents water loss from its deeper layers. When this barrier weakens, signs of ageing, dryness, and increased exposure to impurities and pollutants become more noticeable.
Why is skin hydration so essential?
Without adequate hydration, the skin can become dehydrated, lose elasticity, and be more prone to irritation. A well-hydrated skin barrier helps prevent impurities and pollutants from penetrating and protects against environmental damage.
Key types of moisturising ingredients: Humectants, Emollients, and Occlusives
Understanding how different moisturising ingredients work together can enhance your skincare routine. These ingredients work in synergy to keep water in the skin and protect its natural barrier:
- Humectants: Attract and Retain Water
Humectants act as water “magnets,” drawing moisture into the skin’s deeper layers. Common examples include glycerin, which enhances skin elasticity, and allantoin, known for its calming effect on the skin. One of our signature ingredients, Moripure Silk Aqua, excels at restoring the skin’s hydration balance.
- Emollients: Strengthen the Skin’s Natural Barrier
Emollients soften the skin and reinforce its barrier. Hydraskin and Mirual serve as emollients, helping to lock in moisture, while Tsubaki oil, provides antioxidant protection and defends against dehydration and environmental damage.
- Occlusives: Seal in Hydration
Occlusives create a protective layer that locks in moisture and shields the skin from external elements. Shea butter, rich in fatty acids and vitamins, is a natural occlusive that deeply nourishes, ensuring lasting hydration by forming a barrier that keeps moisture in.
The importance of intensive hydration in daily skincare
Each of these ingredients plays a vital role in the hydration process. By blending various moisturising agents in your routine, you achieve deep, enduring hydration that leaves your skin looking softer, more radiant, more protected and more resilient.
