Hydration

Hydration is a key factor in maintaining healthy, radiant and supple skin. In addition to preventing skin dryness, it helps reduce irritation and the premature signs of ageing. In cosmetics, moisturising creams are formulated with ingredients such as humectants, emollients and film‑forming agents.

FAQ about hydration

Why is skin hydration essential?

Hydration is a key step in the skincare routine, contributing to cellular regeneration and helping to keep the skin supple and soft. In addition, hydration helps protect the skin from external aggressions.

Is it necessary to adapt your moisturising routine according to the seasons?

Depending on the seasons and the climate, the skin’s hydration can vary. In summer, rising temperatures promote perspiration and thus cutaneous dehydration. In winter, the air becomes drier and colder, which can also cause the skin to become dry. It may therefore be appropriate to reinforce skin hydration during these seasons in order to maintain an optimal level of moisture.

Do oily skins need hydration?

Yes, hydration is essential for all skin types, including oily skin. However, it is necessary to use products that are specifically suited to your skin type.

Is it important to moisturise your breasts?

The moisturisation of the chest area is important, as it helps combat skin sagging, loss of firmness, and the creased appearance of the décolleté.

Is there a difference between hydration and nourishment?

Hydration refers to the amount of water present in the skin. Nutrition, on the other hand, refers to the amount of lipids within the skin.

Why does the skin become dehydrated?

Dehydration may be related to an alteration of the skin barrier, external aggressions (cold, wind, sun), or the use of unsuitable skincare products.

Is drinking water enough to keep the skin hydrated?

Internal hydration is important, but it is not sufficient on its own. The skin barrier plays a key role in retaining water within the skin.

How often should you moisturise your skin?

Daily, or even twice-daily, application of a moisturising cream is generally recommended.

Is it possible to over‑hydrate your skin?

Applying a moisturising cream too generously can disrupt the skin’s balance, in particular by clogging the pores, a risk that is especially present for oily skin.

Does hydration help to reduce wrinkles?

It does not eliminate them, but it can reduce the appearance of fine lines by improving the skin’s suppleness.
