Hydration is key for healthy skin, and if your complexion feels tight or itchy, chances are you are dehydrated. Hydrating products use humectants that draw water into cells to keep them hydrated and maintain an appropriate moisture balance within.
Hydrating products often contain occlusive elements such as shea butter, jojoba oil or cocoa butter to form a protective barrier on your skin’s surface, locking in moisture while keeping harmful external substances at bay. This ensures soft and smooth skin from top to bottom!
