There are many factors that cause our skin to lose precious moisture, and a glass of water may not be the solution. When we are enjoying the summer weather, we are conscious of the importance of us being hydrated and topping up our hydration levels when we can become dehydrated, especially in hot weather.

The skincare products that we use can also affect skin dehydration.

Skin Hydration? What Does My Skin Need To Drink?

With skin dehydration, it is possible to hydrate the skin not only from the inside but also from outside. Dehydrated skin loses its plumpness and highlights creases and wrinkles so skin hydration can be part of our anti-aging skincare regime. Skin hydration may decline as we get older and lose collagen from our skin. Treating our skin with soluble collagen is a great treatment as it binds and retains water in the skin and will assist in the loss of moisture.  Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in our skin and assists in the skin retaining water in the connective tissues. Derived from plants, panthenol is a form of vitamin B that has great absorption properties and helps skin maintain a natural skin balance so introducing products that have these two ingredients should help remedy skin dehydration.
