The Science of Hydration: How to Keep Your Skin Moisturised All Day

by Info Curalene in Resource Hub

Hydrating your skin is more a matter of knowing how hydration functions and what to apply rather than just slapping on moisturiser. Tight, flaky, or dry skin indicates that your skin's moisture barrier has to be rescued. So, how do you keep your skin hydrated throughout the day? Let's dissect it.

Why Does Skin Lose Moisture?

Your skin will lose moisture throughout the day from the weather, air conditioning, hot showers, and even the process of aging. When the barrier of moisture is compromised, it can't lock in the moisture, and dryness sets in. The solution is to use the right products to seal the moisture in.

The Three Heroes of Skin Hydration

Body Crèmes – Intense Moisturising for Dry Skin

Body crèmes are thick, luxurious moisturisers filled with moisturising agents such as shea butter and essential oils. They benefit from dry or matured skin, deeply hydrating and restoring softness, and Curalene’s body creams are rich in all of them. Remember, use body creams immediately after showering to lock in moisture.

Aqueous Crèmes – Light & Moisturising

For those who prefer it less oily, aqueous crèmes are perfect. Fast-absorbing, aqueous crèmes are water-based moisturisers that hydrate and refresh your skin without making your skin feel heavy. Curalene’s creams are perfect for hot weather or oily skin.

Petroleum Jelly – The Ultimate Moisture Lock

An ancient skincare favorite for centuries, petroleum jelly forms a barrier on the skin that keeps the moisture locked in. Ideal for extremely dry or cracked skin, especially for hands, feet, and lips. Curalene’s Petroleum Jelly is filled with ingredients ideal for your skin. Use at bedtime as an extra moisturising treatment.

Hydration Tips for All-Day Moisture

  1. Apply moisturiser to wet skin –

    One of the topmost ways to maximise hydration is by applying moisturiser to wet skin, i.e. right after taking a shower or washing your face. By doing this, the water is trapped on the skin’s surface while boosting the absorption. Using body crèmes immediately after shower helps create a layer that prevents the moisture from evaporating. 
  2. Drink plenty of water –

    Hydrate from the inside out. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water in a day to help maintain skin’s natural moisture levels. If your skin feels frequently dry, there is a chance that it's mostly due to you not consuming enough water. In addition, you can consume water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, and oranges. 
  3. Use a humidifier –

    Air-conditioned or heated environments or any other dry indoor area can remove moisture from your skin. Using a humidifier indoors adds moisture to the air, ensuring your skin doesn't dry out. 
  4. Avoid rough soaps –

    Many soap contains harsh sulfates and alcohol that strip away natural oils, leaving the skin feeling dry and tight. Instead of using such soap, prefer gentle, hydrating cleansers with ingredients such as glycerin, aloe vera, or coconut oil. 
  5. Reapply when necessary –

    Your skin may need extra hydration, particularly in cold conditions, severe weather conditions or after sun exposure. Be sure to keep a bottle of moisturiser or a hydrating mist handy to refresh your skin throughout the day. 

Conclusion

The secret to all-day hydration is the right products for your skin. If you need deep moisturising with body crèmes, light hydration with aqueous crèmes, or a moisture barrier with petroleum jelly, Curalene is the perfect solution for everyone. Stay hydrated, stay radiant!

Lip Care 101: Say Goodbye to Dry & Chapped Lips

Everyone wants a soft, smooth lip, but let’s be realistic here. With the kind of weather conditions we are going through right now, these lips quickly become dry and chapped, and they can be a real struggle.

In addition, factors like dehydration, harsh weather conditions, licking your lips, and even using the wrong products on your lips can worsen the situation. These are the major reasons why lips get chapped.   Your Ultimate Lip Care Routine You can follow multiple lip care routines to ensure you no longer have dry and chapped lips. Some of the easiest and effective routines are - Hydration is KeyDrink as much water as you can to ensure your lips are hydrated from the inside.

Look for: ✔ Cocoa Butter – Deeply nourishes and locks in moisture. ✔ Coconut Oil – Soothes and repairs cracked lips. ✔ Hyaluronic Acid – Hydrates and plumps lips naturally. ✔ Vitamin E - Acts as a protective barrier against damage.
