Why Do I Need Hydration?

Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against the outside world. Made up of multiple layers of cells held together by lipids, your skin needs proper hydration to maintain its barrier function. Hydrated skin is plump, soft, and glowing, while dehydrated skin becomes dry, dull, and more prone to wrinkles. Drinking plenty of water is crucial for helping your skin retain moisture, look its best, and feel healthy from the inside out.

Hydration vs. Moisturization: What’s the Difference?

While both hydration and moisturization are essential for healthy skin, it’s important to know the difference.

• Hydration adds water to your skin and body, making it plump and healthy. Water-based ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid are common in hydrating skincare products.
• Moisturization focuses on adding oils or lipids to your skin to lock in moisture. Ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil are great for moisturizing.

Our expert medical professionals at Forever Young Med Spa can help you choose the right skincare products to hydrate and moisturize based on your unique skin needs.

Key Benefits of Skin Hydration

Proper hydration provides numerous benefits, not just for your body, but for your skin as well:

• Improved skin elasticity, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Protection against harmful UV rays
• Balanced oil production, preventing excess shine or dryness
• A youthful, glowing complexion, by supporting healthy skin cells
• Prevention of moisture loss, keeping skin soft and supple

How Can I Stay Hydrated?

While carrying around a water jug can help, staying hydrated doesn’t just mean drinking water all day. You can also increase hydration by eating foods with high water content, like fruits and vegetables. Limit alcohol and caffeine, as they can dehydrate your body. Drink water and tea regularly to maintain hydration levels, and you’ll soon notice the positive effects on your skin and overall health.
