Top 7 Hydrating Products your Skin will Love

A lot of us only focus on brightening, even skin tone, lightening, de-tanning and the ways that improve our skin’s complexion. Once we get into it and find our skin is good enough, there will be something missing – the life, the soul yeah, I mean the glow!

The GLOW can only be achieved, if your skin is hydrated, nourished from within and a lot of skin brightening products are exfoliants, means they are drying. So, your skincare must include a good balance of both brightening, hydrating and soothing ingredients.

Mist

1. Uriage Mist

This in one word is simply awesome. No matter what skin type you are, it will suit you. It’s just a thermal water extracted from springs and claims to give you 42 hours of hydration which I being using it for almost a year can say it’s true! The hydration exists unless you wash your face post mist.

This product is truly a boon if you are an extremely oily skin girl or guy and works well in all skin types. This as a thermal water does its job very beautifully in healing and soothing your irritated or sensitive skin.

I truly truly love this product, a big thumbs up. yes, it’s a bit costlier but the bottle lasts a while which is worth the investment.

2. Glycerin mist

Never underestimate a product seeing its price or appearance. This glycerin mist does wonders. But I know I should be honest; this is not actually for oily skin people like me unless you are okay with using a mist with very minimal glycerin in it.

Now how to make this mist? take a good spray bottle, pour 1 part glycerin and 10-part water. This works well for dry skin, combination and oily skins can still reduce the glycerin even to drops. The water can also be replaced with rose water or thermal water, it’s just our innovation.

Just make sure you make it fresh for every week, since glycerin has sugar, it can attract fungus. Spray whenever your skin feels dry or dull, whenever you need that fresh face.

If you are a school or college student or has budget constraints, trust me, just this one mist is going to give you that glowy skin, and of course you will get compliments 😉

Serum

Numbuzin no. 6 Serum

Such a beautiful blend of ingredients, what is very difficult to find for oily skins is some lightweight formulations for layering your skincare. This is like water, extremely light weight and extremely hydrating.

Brilliant Oil Alternatives – Weight Loss Diet | GlowRegime

With 63% Iceland glacier water it is a dual results serum which has both hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, means both hydration and brightness. I usually use this when my skin feels irritated or has redness along with moisturizers which are also very light weight to avoid that oily film like face.

There are extremely good moisturizers in the market both budget friendly and costly, will be discussing them below.

Hyaluronic acid

A skincare obsession can never go complete without hyaluronic acid. It’s such an amazing and cheap ingredient in the pharmacy. Speaking of hyaluronic acid, how can I not speak about hyalugel. Once started, you can never stop using the product.

Always remember, hyaluronic acid should only be used on damp skin, since this has the ability to drag and hold water to give you that plumpy and healthy skin.

When you use it regularly on dry skin, it will take away the inner water your skin can and eventually make it drier, that’s why a lot of you think this product to be drying.

One very important tip i can give you is that, alter the quantity of gel every time you use depending on your skin. Dry skins can take a decent quantity, oily skin people can use a pea size product and do a thin layer and accordingly.

Moisturizer

Serums and moisturizers make the basic skincare, choosing them wisely can make or break your skin. We already spoke about serums and now coming to moisturizer. Whatever skin type you have, go for a very light weight watery serum which will help in good absorption and better hydration.

The key maximum lies in the moisturizer you use based on your skin type. Usually, dry skins can use a thick non-greasy moisturizer whereas combination can use watery or non-oily lightweight moisturizer.

I just have my heart on the AC Mist moisturizer, Bioderma atoderm gel when my skin is extremely oily or I have layered a lot of skincare. Emolene and Bioderma atoderm creme works well when I have combination skin or lazy to do skincare.

My skin feels dry when on winters, dry skin guys will obviously thank me for Bioderma Sebium Hydra Ultra-Moisturising Cream and CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (you just need a pea size even if you have dry skin).

peptides and ceramides

Peptides and ceramides are for every skin type, especially for mature skin as they have anti-aging benefits. But first, we have to know about both the products individually.

Peptides are light in weight and a lot of its types have the ability to penetrate well into the skin and works wonders if used along with agonists. They are completely safe and less irritating even around the eyes and have a highly hydrating and moisturizing effect.

Coming to ceramides, there aren’t any known side effects for ceramides but if paired with heavy moisturizers they can be cloggy. And this will lead to breakouts especially for acne-prone skin. So alternatively, oily and acne prone skin types can go for ceramides in a serum form or very light weight moisturizers. A best moisturizer cum barrier repair cream is from Re’EQUIL.

Sealing techniques

This thought listed last, is extremely important to lock your hydration in place. In simple words, like every make up needs a setting spray at last, every skincare that goes beyond CTM, needs a sealant at the end and this may also depend upon your skin type.

I always believe that the secret of your skin lies in the nighttime skincare routine. especially potent ingredients like vitamin c, retinoids and certain other actives works well without sun at night and of Course layering will be more at night.

These layered products should soak into the skin and work its best, this can only be achieved by doing either chemical or physical sealing.

Physical sealing can be done by putting a sheet mask on at last or something like a sheet mask sealer.

The other type of sealing can be done by products itself. We just have to make sure they are thick but non comedogenic, but you don’t have to do that since I have researched a lot of products on my skin (I have extremely oily skin though) and found out the best.

The first affordable thing would be the thick moisturizer you use, make sure that’s non comedogenic. The second and the most effective thing would be Vaseline. A lot of its types may be comedogenic, the yellow toned original variant works like wonder even for oily skin type.

You just need a half-pea size, warm it up with your fingers and apply or dab it evenly without dragging the products beneath.

If you are from combination to dry skin type, along with Vaseline, facial oils or essential oils can also work well for you. Green tea and tea tree oil can also work like an overnight treatment and helps fight acne.
