We admit it: talking about "hydrating your skin" might sound like a cream ad with petals floating in the air and spa music playing in the background. But no, this isn't about that. This is about you and that moment when you look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Why the hell do I have wrinkled faces when it's 95 degrees in the shade and I can't stop sweating?"
Spoiler: sweating does not hydrate.
Just because your face is dripping more than the beer on the patio doesn't mean your skin is happy. In fact, sweat can be treacherous: it leaches out natural oils, alters pH, and if you even feel like drying it off with a bar napkin... it's all over the place.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYDRATING AND NOURISHING THE SKIN
- Hydration is giving your skin water , like the first cool sip from a bottle after leaving the gym. It's what prevents your skin from cracking, flaking, and looking like a topographical map.
- Nourishing means giving healthy fats and active ingredients that repair and strengthen . It's like putting good oil in an engine.
In summer, your skin loses water like crazy due to the heat, the sun, the air conditioning, the chlorine... so if you do nothing, you end up with a face like recycled cardboard even if you're sweating.
ESSENTIALS HYDRA REFRESH MIST
If you don't know what a facial mist is yet, prepare to be amazed. It's not a cream, it's not a gel, it's not a "girly" mist. It's a facial spray that adds water to your skin, giving it a boost of hydration you can use at any time of day. And yes, it's refreshing to the core.
The Hydra Refresh Facial Mist is designed for those of us who are in a hurry, sweat more than we'd like, and want to take care of our skin without a 40-minute beauty ritual.
- Contains witch hazel water and aloe vera extract (full hydration without greasiness)
- Absorbs instantly, without shine or stickiness
- It fits in your backpack , your car, your gym bag.
- And the best part: it leaves your face looking like new with just a couple of sprays.
Do yourself a favor this summer: add the mist to your routine along with the Multiactive Moisturizing Cream and feel the difference.
