The most important aspect when it comes to healthy skin is to keep it hydrated. Hydrated skin cells even out your skin tone and make it younger-looking. Hydration is very important and must not be neglected in any way. However, some people practice religious hydration of their skin but fail to retain the moisture, thereby their skin still ends up dehydrated. If you want to know how to hydrate your skin and retain moisture at the same time, read further.

#1: Choose The Right Cleanser

The cleanser you use has a great effect on the hydration and retention of moisture in your skin. Choosing the wrong cleanser can be detrimental to your skin. A cleanser’s role is to clean your skin of dirt and grime. Make sure not to use cleansers that are too harsh, particularly if you have dry or sensitive skin. 

Infused with a custom blend of natural and organic ingredients, our pH-balanced and deep cleansing Face and Body Wash works amazingly in keeping your skin clean, soft, and smooth without stripping out your natural oils. This face and body wash gently cleanses, hydrates, nourishes and restores your skin to achieve a youthful glow.

#2: Avoid Over Exfoliating Your Skin

Exfoliation is great and we all love the after-feeling of smoothness and moisture. However, since exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, too much of that can cause the skin to get a little dry, instead of moisturizing it. Exfoliate your skin two to three times a week for great results.

Infused with a custom blend of natural and organic ingredients, our deep cleansing Manuka Honey Microdermabrasion Scrub rejuvenates, soothes, and gently exfoliates your skin without scraping or tearing it. This perfectly pH-balanced skin scrub uses a ground-compressed walnut shell to help reveal your smoothest and healthiest complexion.

#3: Have A Weekly Routine

Consistency is key. The best way to stay hydrated & retain moisture is through consistency. Create a weekly routine for yourself where you use a hydrating face mask & give yourself some self-care. Make sure to use a good mask with antioxidant properties to help you fight irritation. Honey-based masks are also good anti-inflammatory agents to help moisturize & nourish your skin.

Infused with a unique blend of kaolin and bentonite clay and other natural and organic ingredients, our detoxifying Manuka Honey Resurfacing Mask will help you draw out excess oils, dead skin cells, and other pore-clogging and acne-causing impurities without causing any redness or irritation, giving you fresher, smoother, and younger-looking skin!

#4: Make Sure You Use Moisturizer

After cleansing your face, always make sure you apply moisturizer. Applying moisturizer helps lock the moisture in thereby ensuring your skin stays hydrated. Always moisturize as soon as possible for maximum benefits. Moisturizing is the most basic skincare routine and you should ensure you moisturize at all times.

#5: Your Diet Matters Too

To keep your skin hydrated, you also need to drink a lot of water. Drinking a lot of water helps you keep hydrated and so does eating water-rich food. Water-rich food helps you absorb more water slowly, thereby ensuring the water stays in our bodies for a longer period of time.
