Hydrating Day Cream: The ultimate solution for dry skin
A moisturizer is an indispensable part of any skincare routine. Whether you have dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin, the right product can make a world of difference to the health and appearance of your skin. In this blog, we will discuss what moisturizers are, why they are important, and how to make the best choice for your skin type.
What is a moisturizing day cream?
A moisturizer is a skin care product designed to retain moisture in the skin and form a protective barrier. This helps keep the skin hydrated, supple and healthy. Hydrating creams may contain several ingredients, such as
Why is hydration important?
Hydration is crucial to maintaining healthy skin. When skin is properly hydrated, you experience many benefits.
Key ingredients:
The following ingredients are known for their moisturizing and nourishing properties:
- Hyaluronic acid is a powerful connector that attracts moisture from the environment and retains it in the skin. It can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, making the skin plumper and more supple.
- Glycerin is an effective moisturizing ingredient that helps retain water in the skin. It keeps the skin hydrated throughout the day and helps prevent dryness and irritation.
- Oils such as jojoba, argan and coconut oils are rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish and moisturize the skin. They also help to strengthen the skin barrier and retain moisture.
- Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps improve moisture retention, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce redness and irritation. It is a versatile ingredient suitable for all skin types.
Hoe weet je of een serum geschikt is voor jouw huid?
Het kiezen van het juiste serum voor jouw huid is een belangrijke stap voor je huidverzorgingsroutine. Hier zijn enkele stappen die je kunnen helpen om het meest geschikte serum te selecteren:
- Ken jouw huidtype:
Beoordeel of je een droge, vette, gecombineerde, gevoelige, rijpe of hypergepigmenteerde huid hebt. Dit helpt je om gericht te zoeken naar serums die passen bij jouw specifieke behoeften. - Bepaal je huidproblemen:
Maak een lijst van de specifieke huidproblemen waarmee je te maken hebt, zoals fijne lijntjes, donkere vlekken, droogheid of onzuiverheden. Dit zal je helpen bij het selecteren van een serum met de juiste actieve ingrediënten. - Lees de ingrediëntenlijst:
Bestudeer de ingrediëntenlijst van het serum. Zoek naar actieve ingrediënten die bekend staan om het aanpakken van jouw specifieke huidproblemen. - Let op de concentraties:
Kijk naar de concentratie van de actieve ingrediënten. Sommige serums hebben hogere concentraties dan andere. Als je nieuw bent met een bepaald ingrediënt, begin dan met een lagere concentratie om eventuele irritaties te voorkomen. - Test het op een klein gebied:
Doe altijd een patchtest voordat je een nieuw serum op je hele gezicht aanbrengt. Breng een kleine hoeveelheid aan op een discrete plek, zoals je pols, om te controleren of er geen allergische reactie of irritatie optreedt. - Consistentie in je routine:
Kies een serum dat past bij je levensstijl en consistent in je dagelijkse huidverzorgingsroutine past. Het is belangrijk om geduldig te zijn en het serum regelmatig en op de juiste manier te gebruiken om resultaten te zien.
Choosing the right moisturizer depends on your skin type and specific needs
- Dry skin: Choose a rich, nourishing cream with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and natural oils to provide intensive hydration.
- Oily skin: Look for light, oil-free formulas that moisturize without clogging pores. Ingredients such as glycerin and niacinamide are ideal.
- Combination skin: Use a balanced formula that hydrates both dry and oily areas without feeling too heavy.
- Sensitive skin: Choose a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free cream with soothing ingredients such as niacinamide and ceramides to minimize irritation.
Hyaluronic acid is the solution!
cHyaluronic acid is a substance in the body that is essential for maintaining supple and elastic skin. As we age, the level of hyaluronic acid in our body decreases, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and firmness. Supplementing hyaluronic acid is therefore recommended, as with collagen.
Hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, which helps restore dehydrated skin. It is suitable for every skin type. No other biological substance can hold as much water as hyaluronic acid. This results in increased smoothness, softening, reduction of wrinkles and a healthy skin barrier. Skin with a healthy skin barrier feels plumper and looks younger.
Unique and effective: Our products with hyaluronic acid use high and low molecular hyaluronic acid. High molecular hyaluronic acid hydrates the outer layers of skin and causes them to saturate with moisture. This is very useful and also definitely necessary, but hydration of the inner skin layers gives even more effect. Low molecular hyaluronic acid consists of smaller molecules, which can penetrate deeper into the skin and provide the inner skin layers with the ultimate moisture boost.
The benefits of Hyaluronic Acid
- Intensive hydration
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Strengthening the skin barrier
- Improvement of skin texture
- Suitable for all skin types
- Fast absorption
- Improved elasticity
Give your skin an extra boost!
Moisture is essential for resilient and supple skin. Applying hyaluronic acid in a serum gives the skin a hand in retaining moisture. Use the serum first and then apply our hyaluronic acid cream.
Give your skin an extra boost once or twice a week. The sheet masks are soaked in a deeply nourishing and concentrated hyaluronic acid serum, which provides intense hydration for beautiful, soft and even skin. Because the mask remains on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes, the active ingredients cannot evaporate and your skin has more time to absorb it. This ensures optimal effectiveness.
Some tips!
In addition to a moisturizing day cream, here are some tips that can help you keep your skin hydrated:
- Hydrate from the inside out:
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated. Additionally, a complementary supplement, such as the Anti-Aging Beauty Collagen Complex, with moisturizing ingredients can help take care of your skin from the inside out. - Use a mild cleanser:
Avoid harsh cleansers that can dry out your skin. Instead, choose a mild, moisturizing cleanser that does not remove your skin's natural oils. - Exfoliate gently:
Use a mild exfoliant once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and improve the absorption of moisturizers. Avoid exfoliating too much, however, as this can worsen dryness. - Protect your skin from the sun:
Always use a broad spectrum* sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can worsen dryness and cause premature aging.
*A broad spectrum SPF ensures that the sunscreen protects your skin from both the harmful effects of UVB and UVA radiation.
- Drink less alcohol and caffeine:
Limit the consumption of alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as they can be dehydrating and worsen the dryness of your skin. - Showering:
Shower with lukewarm water rather than hot water, as hot water can dry out and irritate the skin. Avoid showering for too long, as prolonged contact with hot water can wash away your skin's natural oils and lead to dehydration. Try to limit it to no more than 10-15 minutes.
