Corporal Hydration

Why does the skin on the body become dehydrated?

Body skin is continuously exposed to different external factors that can increase water loss, such as cold, wind, hot showers, hair removal, or sun exposure. In addition, body skin often receives less care than facial skin.

At the same time, in certain areas of the body such as the legs, elbows, knees or heels, the skin tends to be drier, which means greater exposure to a more vulnerable barrier function.

Therefore, daily use of a moisturizing body cream or body lotion helps maintain the skin's balance and prevent tightness or flaking.

What body moisturizing products can you use?

Within the body hydration category, you can find different formats depending on your skin's needs:

• Moisturizing body cream:More nourishing texture, ideal for dry or very dry skin.
• Moisturizing body lotion:Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture, perfect for everyday use.
• Body milk:It offers a balance between hydration and lightness, ideal for normal or slightly dry skin.
• Body oils:They provide lipids and improve skin elasticity.
• Moisturizing body gels:They provide hydration and freshness with rapid absorption, perfect for warm climates and skin that prefers light textures.

Choosing the right body moisturizer is essential to improving the comfort and appearance of your skin in the long term.

What ingredients should a good body moisturizer have?

The best body moisturizing products combine active ingredients that work on different levels:

• Urea:Active moisturizing and hydrating ingredient that helps retain water in the skin, improving the feeling of tightness or flaking in dry skin.
• Hyaluronic acid:active ingredient capable of retaining a large amount of water, providing hydration and elasticity to the skin.
• Ceramides:essential lipids that help restore and strengthen the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss.
