Hydration and Its Impact on Skincare

Summer season is in full swing, which is a favorite time of year for many obvious reasons: vacations, backyard barbecues and pool parties are just a few of the most popular ways to have fun in the sun. In addition to sunscreen, hydration is an acknowledged key component for health and wellness during hectic summer months. However, the question remains, are you truly hydrated?

Drinking water aids many of our key bodily functions. However, most of the water we consume remains internal. For truly optimal health, we also need to hydrate the surface of the skin. The more hydrated our skin is, the less redness, breakouts, blemishes, excess oil production and pigmentation we experience. Hydrated skin is also supple, soft and smooth to the touch. A personally tailored skin care regimen can help combat dehydrated skin, providing your skin with the moisture it needs.

For optimal topical hydration, look for skincare products that contain hyaluronic acid, which binds 1000 times its weight in water to the surface of the skin. This deep-penetrating nourishment lasts all day long and plays a central role in the elasticity of skin. In addition to hydrating inside and out for health and well-being, remember your sun protection on a daily basis to keep skin clear of damage for years to come – always important during fun, summer outdoor activities.

Opportunities to rehydrate your skin can be enjoyable too! In addition to your home care routine, opt for facial treatments that are deeply hydrating. These services deep cleanse the skin and deliver ingredients into the epidermal tissue for lasting results. Ultrasound technology can also be incorporated into a facial to increase drastically the overall hydration of the skin and further the therapeutic benefits of the customized skin treatment. If you’re not sure which treatment is right for you, based on descriptions provided in a menu, inquire about your needs when making a reservation. Of course, always follow up by communicating these same needs with the aesthetician at the time of treatment.

Whatever your summer plans are, remember that what you do today has a lasting effect on your overall health. What a great time to build healthy habits for taking care of your skin through hydration – inside and out.
