It is the largest organ in the body, and it is in very close contact with the outside world. And hydration is an important part of maintaining your health. When the water content of the stratum corneum is less than 10%, the normal function of the skin will be affected, and it is prone to itching, allergies and other problems. Therefore, providing adequate water is a prerequisite for ensuring good health.
Hydration not only makes the water soft and smooth, but also forms a protective film to keep the moisture long-lasting. Especially for dry** or exposed to dry environments**, hydration is even more important. However, the hydration products on the market mainly play a role in replenishing the moisture of the stratum corneum, and cannot really achieve the hydration effect of the dermis.
Expansion: In addition to the water loss caused by the external environment, we also need to pay attention to the impact of internal conditions on water replenishment. For example, prolonged exposure to an air-conditioned room or a dry environment will result in faster water loss, requiring more effort to hydrate to maintain a hydrated feel. In addition, daily lifestyle habits will also affect the water replenishment effect, such as the adequacy of water intake, the intake of foods with high water content in the diet, etc., will have an impact on the hydration effect of **.
Moisturizing refers to the prevention of surface water loss, as well as the formation of a moisturizing film on the surface to lock in moisture, thereby reducing the "transepidermal water loss". In contrast, hydration places more emphasis on increasing the supply of water from outside. Therefore, moisturizing and hydration are complementary to each other, and a reasonable combination of the two can better meet the needs of **.
Many people may wonder why sometimes the more hydrated**, the drier it gets. This is because the focus is only on hydration and the importance of hydration is neglected. Hydration is simply giving moisture to the stratum corneum, but without effective moisturizing measures, the moisture can easily evaporate into the air, resulting in even drier. Therefore, while hydrating, we need to use products such as moisturizers to lock in moisture and bring long-lasting hydration to **.
Extension: How to choose the right moisturizer? The key lies in the choice of active ingredient. A good moisturizer should contain three types of ingredients: encapsulants, moisture absorbers, and emollients. The encapsulant can form an oil film to prevent water evaporation; Moisture absorbers can absorb moisture from deep layers and lock in the stratum corneum; Emollients can make ** softer and tougher. By properly combining these three types of ingredients, you can achieve long-term moisturizing effect.
There are many types of moisturizing products on the market, including skin care lotions (toners, astringents, softeners, functional waters, essence lotions, etc.), lotions, and creams. They all have hydrating properties, but the exact results may vary, so it's important to choose the right one for you.
Lotion is one of the common moisturizing products, and it has two main functions. On the one hand, it can increase the water content of ** after washing the face and lock in moisture after using moisturizer to achieve long-lasting hydration. On the other hand, the lotion also helps to cleanse and adjust the pH level. Different types of skin care lotions have different effects, so you need to carefully distinguish and choose the one that suits you best.
Lotions and creams are moisturizers with powerful moisture-locking properties, they moisturize** and build a protective film to prevent moisture loss. The lotion has a higher moisture content and a more refreshing texture, making it suitable for summer or normal, combination and oily skin types. Creams, on the other hand, are more suitable for dry autumn and winter or dry, neutral**. Generally speaking, lotions and creams are the most mainstream and recommended moisturizing products, with a good moisturizing effect.
In addition to the common moisturizing products mentioned above, there are many other forms of moisturizing products on the market, such as moisturizing sprays,**, etc. These products also have a certain effect in hydration and moisturizing, but you need to choose the right product according to your own ** condition and needs.
When choosing moisturizing products, in addition to looking at the efficacy of the product and the applicable population, it is also necessary to pay attention to choosing products produced by regular manufacturers that meet national standards to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
In conclusion, hydration is very important to maintain health and beauty. The goal of hydration and hydration is the same, which is to provide sufficient water to prevent water loss. In order to achieve the best hydration effect, you can develop good drinking habits from drinking water, choose suitable moisturizing products, and avoid exposure to dry environments as much as possible. At the same time, hydration and moisturizing also need to be combined with comprehensive measures such as maintaining cleanliness, balanced diet, and moderate exercise to keep it hydrated, healthy and shiny.
