The Role of Hydration in Skin Texture

Think of a grape versus a raisin. A grape is plump and smooth because it’s full of water. A raisin is wrinkled and rough because it is dehydrated. Your skin works the same way.

Hydration vs. Moisture

• Hydration (Water): Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Aloe. Fixes dehydration.
• Moisture (Oil): Oils, Ceramides, Butters. Fixes dryness.

For textured skin, you often need hydration first. Use a water-based essence or toner before your moisturizer to plump up the skin cells, instantly smoothing out fine lines and surface roughness.
