The Key Points For Basic Hydration

Hydration First: The Foundation of Healthy, Beautiful Skin

Nowadays, more and more people are focusing on skincare, especially seeking different benefits like brightening and anti-aging.

But do you know how to achieve the best results from these skincare benefits?

The answer is hydration.

 

Hydration is the foundation of all skincare. Without it, even the most luxurious products may not deliver the desired results.

Properly hydrated skin is better equipped to absorb active ingredients.

Why Hydration Matters

We already know that cleansing is the cornerstone of skincare and an important first step.

To achieve great results, you must first focus on hydration.

If the skin isn’t properly hydrated, it can weaken its defenses, hinder the exfoliation of dead skin cells, and cause the skin to look tired.

The skin overproduces oil in an attempt to maintain moisture, which can lead to issues like dullness, blackheads, and acne.

Dr. Morita’s 3 key points for basic hydration

To ensure your skin stays healthy and radiant, here are Dr. Morita’s three essential steps for basic hydration:

1. Moisture Retention

Start by prepping your skin with a toner or hydrating mist.

These products help your skin retain moisture, creating the perfect base for the following steps.

By softening the skin, they enhance the absorption of serums, masks, and creams, ensuring you get the most out of your skincare routine.

2. Replenish Moisture

Hydration isn’t just about locking in existing moisture; it’s also about replenishing what your skin has lost.

Apply a serum or mask to deliver moisture deep into the skin, boosting its hydration levels and keeping it healthy and dewy.

3. Seal in Moisture

Use lotion or cream to form a thin barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing the previous moisture from escaping and balancing the skin’s oil and water levels.

This step locks in all the hydration from the previous steps and balances the skin’s oil and water levels, preventing moisture loss throughout the day.
