Have you noticed how well your skin behaves depends on how much hydration it has? Dehydrated skin can cause issues like inflammation and breakouts. This is one of the reasons why moisturising is an important tenet of a beauty routine. Moisturising helps promote a healthier skin, especially after you’ve cleansed and stripped your face off the important stuff. The top layer of our skin needs to be at least 10 percent water in order to repair and maintain the barrier function of the skin. So to help your skin stay hydrated, try one of these new moisturisers:
Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly
This completely transparent lightweight, oil-free water-jelly promises to deliver powerful 24-hour hydration, repair skin’s moisture barrier and protect the skin from daily aggressors. Thanks in part to the Clean-Shield Technology and ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate (from the same hyaluronic acid family) to give skin instant plumping effect, firmness and comfort. The moisture barrier blend with sunflower seed cake, barley extract, cucumber fruit extract helps to strengthen skin’s barrier and retain skin’s moisture levels.
Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon
