2020 Winter Hydration Skin Care Guide

2020 Winter Hydration Skin Care Guide

Winter skin care is synonymous with moisturizers and hydrators!  The weather changes and becomes cooler and dryer so the skin can loose vital moisture to the environment much faster.

It’s important to make sure that clients are hydrating their skin as well as moisturizing their skin and YES there is a difference!

Moisturizing vs Hydrating

Moisturizing the skin is when there is something applied to the skin to attract, bind and trap moisture. Look for 3 specific types of moisturizing ingredients in your winter skin care products.  Humectants, Occlusives and Emollients.

Hydrating the skin is when your skin actually pulls moisture from the environment and then funnels that H2O into the skin cells, it also comes from drinking water and from eating hydrating food sources that are high in fatty acids:  fish, avocados, nuts, seeds and certain vegetables. Our Nutrition For Healthy Skin article will give you a good idea of what foods hydrate the skin.

Types of Moisturizers 

Humectants – Attract Moisture

Emollients – Bind Moisture

Occlusives – Trap Moisture
