How To Keep Skin Hydrated

Although you may think the only way to hydrate your skin is to use some of the best hydrating skin care, your lifestyle habits are just as important. See 5 lifestyle tips to discover how to keep skin hydrated:

• Drink plenty of water
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine
• Eat foods rich in oils
• Get enough sleep
• Avoid extra hot showers

Cleanser is always the first step in your skincare routine and should be done every morning and night to ensure your skin is removed of all impurities. Because you use cleanser twice a day, it’s important to choose one that is going to also add moisture into the skin instead of drying it out. 

Choose a cream based cleanser as they usually use natural oils to cleanse the skin and avoid drying out the skin and leaving it feeling tight, much like what gel and foam based cleansers can do. A perfect cleanser to hydrate your skin is Florena’s Milky Cleanser. Our natural cleanser will gently remove makeup and impurities whilst hydrating the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and moisturised after. 

An important tip on how to keep skin hydrated is to moisturise regularly, after every time you cleanse. Moisturisers not only have natural ingredients in them that will add hydration back into your skin and help lock the moisture in, they also are crucial for helping to maintain your skin’s healthy cells, preventing breakouts and irritated skin. 

Choose a moisturiser that uses natural hydrating ingredients, such as Florena’s 24H Hydrating Day Cream. Our lightweight, easily absorbed formula is enriched with fermented camellia sinensis, which is known for increasing blood flow and hydration to the skin, locking in moisture and leaving skin smooth and soft. 

To pair with an everyday moisturiser should be an overnight deep hydrating cream, for similar purposes as the day cream, but to ensure your skin is moisturised and hydrated throughout the night.

Using Florena’s day cream, paired with our 24H Nourishing Night Cream, also enriched with fermented camellia sinensis will replenish and nourish your skin overnight, ensuring 24h hydration.

We can be reluctant to use facial oils sometimes, especially if our skin is naturally oily. The fact is, facial oils can actually help regulate oil production in the skin. Using facial oil is important for skin hydration as it produces a barrier across the skin, locking in the moisture from previous skin care products you have used, meaning your skin stays hydrated for longer. 

One of the best natural oil for skin hydration is Florena’s Regenerating Facial Oil which is formulated to rehydrate and rejuvenate your skin to leave it feeling nourished and supple. It’s enriched with fermented argan oil, an oil which contains vitamin E and fatty acids, helping to hydrate and retain hydration in the skin. 

Using face masks is an intense hydration step. Face masks, especially cream masks, act like a rich, nourishing moisturiser that quickly penetrates the skin, trapping the moisture and natural ingredients in the skin. Not only are they excellent for skin hydration, they are wonderful for helping you to relax for 5 minutes each week. 

Choose a face mask that includes natural hydrating ingredients, such as Florena’s 24h Hydrating Face Mask. Enriched with fermented camellia sinensis and fermented olive oil, you will get an intense moisture boost, leaving you skin feeling extra soft.
