Hydration Is Not Moisture

They’re often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same. Hydration involves water, while moisture may also refer to oil. Piling on hydration – in the form of water, hyaluronic acid and so on – does little for dehydrated skin if the skin cannot retain it. The solution: Add a lightweight oil to your skincare routine to help prevent water loss. Bio-oil, which has vitamins A and E, and lavender, calendula, rosemary and camomile oils to fight free radicals, keeps skin moisturised and supple. It also has purcellin oil to keep it from leaving a greasy film. The formulation is said to help improve the skin barrier and boost moisture levels to keep skin soothed and well hydrated. Suitable for face and body, and people with sensitive skin, it is also hypoallergenic and nonacnegenic. $15.50$35.90
