How to hydrate your body?

For many aesthetic and comfort reasons, it is important to hydrate your body... Discover the causes of this skin dryness, the seasons when hydration is essential, and the treatments to prioritize according to your skin type.

Why hydrate your body?

Climate factors (cold, heat, pollution...) and age are two major causes of skin dryness.

And one thing is certain, the more exposed you are to these causes, the less active the sebaceous glands become, leading to skin dehydration. Result: the skin on your body and face is much less radiant, less supple, and especially dull. It can even itch, irritate, and become much more sensitive. So what to do in such conditions? Or how to prevent these epidermal problems? Hydrating your body daily, that's all!

When to hydrate your body?

It is necessary to hydrate your body all year round, every day without exception, especially in winter, because cold prevents water retention in the epidermis and maintaining optimal hydration levels. Once a day is enough for normal or oily skin (morning after washing), and twice a day is even better for dry and combination skin (morning after washing and evening before bed). By following these beauty tips, you will quickly regain radiant, supple, and comfortable skin.

How to hydrate your body?

By using a moisturizing cream, or a milk, an emulsion, or a fluid... for the body. These are both preventive and reparative. It is never too late to start hydrating your body properly, but the sooner, the better. Don't forget the neck area, which has fewer sebaceous glands. Gently massage your body with the chosen product, using your fingertips until fully absorbed. Every morning upon waking, complete this hydration by drinking a large glass of water, and engage in physical activity. Physical activity contributes to good skin hydration because it stimulates blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.

Properly hydrating your body is good... and doing it every day is quick and only takes a few minutes. Try it for just a few days, and you'll see an instant change in your skin.
