Did you know that no matter your skin type, you should be using a face moisturizer in order to protect your body from external threats (chemicals, allergens, toxic substances and infectious microorganisms) and to maintain homeostasis (balance) and water loss from within?

The importance of balanced skin hydration and moisture cannot be stressed enough. It is essential for a healthy skin barrier and proper physiological functions. In other words, the skin barrier needs to have (and retain) an optimal balance of naturally-occuring lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids) and water in order for the cells to do their job properly and for the skin to remain healthy and vibrant. 

 

The choice of a hydrating product is based on your skin type, and preference for scent. 

 

  • Dry skin ==> look for creams and heavier textures
  • Normal skin ==> light creams, lotions, serums
  • Combination skin ==> gels, serums
  • Oily skin ==> light serums, essences
