Proper hydration, like a refreshing beverage, is essential for replenishing moisture to dry skin, leaving it smooth, radiant, and resilient. Before exploring the offerings from Delavie that could revolutionize your skincare routine and help your skin achieve maximum hydration potential, let’s dive into the world of skincare hydration together.
The Science Behind Hydration:
Fundamentally, hydration is about replenishing moisture in the skin to keep it soft, bouncy, and healthy, while being moisturized involves sustaining this hydration by forming a protective barrier against water loss. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis whose main roles include safeguarding against environmental aggressors and checking water loss. Besides knowing that moisturizer should be applied on your face or body, there is a need to understand various complex mechanisms that control how much water can be drawn into different parts of the skin as well as stored or released from them as necessary for proper moistening. Also called NMFs (natural moisturizing factors), these are made up of diverse substances like lipids, and hyaluronic acid among others including amino acids.
Tips for Hydrated Skin
- Keep Yourself Hydrated: To prevent dehydration from the inside out, drink lots of water throughout the day.
- Eating Well: For healthy skin, it's best to eat a well-rounded diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Take Precautions: Prevent the sun and other severe weather conditions from damaging your skin.
- Get Adequate Sleep: Ensuring you get adequate sleep is crucial for your skin's hydration and overall health. During sleep, your body goes into repair mode, and this includes the rejuvenation of your skin.
- Reducing Stress: Long-term stress can have negative effects on skin health and lead to dehydration.
Ingredient Spotlight:
The extraordinary moisturizing capabilities and moisture retention properties of hyaluronic acid make it a standout ingredient in skincare, vital for skin suppleness and elasticity, naturally occurring in the body. However, most hyaluronic acids struggle to either penetrate or be absorbed into the skin.
Bacillus Lysate, a revolutionary ingredient exclusive to Delavie skincare, goes beyond traditional hydration solutions by stimulating the skin's internal production of hyaluronic acid. This remarkable process works down to the cellular level, encouraging the skin to naturally activate hyaluronic acid production, a key component for maintaining hydration and skin elasticity. By harnessing the power of Bacillus Lysate, Delavie products promote long-term hydration and moisture retention, resulting in a plump, youthful complexion from within.
