Does Moisturizing regularly help fix Dehydrated Skin?Updated a year ago
Moisturize regularly
A daily moisturizer is the best way to keep dehydration at bay. Quality moisturizers hydrate the skin with a blend of water, humectants (ingredients that attract water), and occlusives that slow down transepidermal water loss.
An effective moisturizer will counter both the external and internal factors that can lead to dehydration, such as over-cleansing or the natural underproduction of skin lipids.
It’s important to choose a moisturizer that contains humectants such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid, occlusives such as dimethicone or petrolatum, and, of course, water. In the long term, it can also be useful to introduce ingredients that mimic or reinforce the skin’s intracellular lipids, such as squalane, ceramides, niacinamide, fatty acids, and cholesterol.
