Difference between hydrating and moisturizing your skin.

Hydrating and moisturizing products both work to provide moisture to our skin. Are they really the SAME?

Hydrating products are helps to increase water content to plump up our skin while moisturizing products keep our skin soft by preventing water content in the skin from evaporating.

Therefore, you should replenish moisture to your skin first before you apply your moisturizing skincare products.

What we do in our daily lives will result our skin condition. In the dry hot months, we need to work a little harder to keep our bodies and skin hydrated, as the sun and heat give us an even greater challenge. As I am typing off my blog, I had major skin allergy during this dry hot weather. Hives will appear on my face and every part of the body.

So what’s the difference boil down to?

Basically, dehydrated skin needs hydration.

Dry skin needs oil and moisturization.
