Last week I tried a collagen mask and I had a splendid experience using it! The application experience was just as fascinating as watching instagram influencers use these melting masks. What I figured is that these masks deliver skin deep hydration upon using, almost instantly. I have dry and rough skin, and hydration hacks such as using this mask or a hydrating face mask has helped in boosting my skin’s hydration levels.
The best hydration hack is ofcourse to drink water regularly. There is no beating this ultimate natural hack! But you’ll still need to support it topically which is why you should read this article till the end. We will talk about hydration hacks that you need to add to your skincare regime!
The Best Skin Hydration Hacks
- Hydrating Face Wash:
This. This is so underrated yet so important. Cleansing is literally the first step in your skincare routine and if you can manage to stock up moisture into your skin with the help of a good hydrating facewash - your skin will love it! Some of the hydrating ingredients that brands often integrate in their cleansers are hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and ceramides. Look out for these ingredients while getting yourself a hydrating facewash.
- Moisturizer:
Ofcourse! Whether it is a sunny Sunday, or a chilly Winter Monday, moisturizer is a daily essential for your skin. Always remember dear one. The job of your daily moisturizer is not just to form a heavy hydration layer on your skin; I mean ofcourse it's important but on a deeper level, moisturizers also work to strengthen your skin’s barrier. A healthy barrier enhances moisture retention, protects your skin from nasty environmental stresses like allergies, and pollutants, improves collagen production and supports your skin's overall integrity. This leads to reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Collagen Masks:
The latest skincare star in the skincare world! Collagen masks are becoming more and more popular. The masks comprise sheets for different parts of your face - eyes, forehead, neck, and cheeks. You spray a toner on your face, peel off the masks off the sheet and apply it on your face. Zeeep! The mask gets absorbed into your skin! It’s honestly so fascinating to experience this. So basically it contains hydrolyzed collagen that gets absorbed into your skin along with sodium hyaluronate & peptides. This power trio delivers hydration and a dewy skin effect on your skin! In about 10-15 minutes, you can be able to experience the hydration-boost. If you use these regularly, like 2-3 times a week, you can be able to see visible anti-ageing results as well! Like firmer skin, reduced sagging, and decreased wrinkles!
- Hydrating Face Masks:
These are skincare boons honestly! These masks deliver an intense dose of hydration to your skin. These come in several forms - you could have leave on masks that literally appear like masks (the one with eyes and mouth apertures) that you typically put on your face, leave on for like 15-20 minutes and then wash your face. Then there are leave-on masks that come in gel form; you can scoop up a dollop of the gel and apply it on your face, leave the gel on your face for 15-20 minutes, and then wash your face! I use a face gel mask that gives an instant glow after application while deeply nourishing my skin. It also keeps my skin well hydrated for a long time!
- Layering:
Seal in hydration by spraying a hydrating mist or toner, then applying a hydrating serum on your face, and following up a moisturizer. It's like creating a moisture sandwich to boost your skin’s hydration levels.
Remember folks, hydration is one of the main keys to anti-ageing, so maintain that skin barrier so you can delay signs of ageing. Add hacks like layering, and using hydrating face washes, moisturizers, hydrating face masks into your skincare routine for upping your hydration game!
