Why is hydration the key to youthful skin?


Hydration is one of the most important parts of your daily skin care routine. Without adequate hydration, your skin loses its elasticity, firmness, and healthy appearance. It can also contribute to fine lines, a general tired appearance, and other annoying problems. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at why hydration is so important, what its benefits are, and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.



How does skin hydration work?


Hydrating the skin means ensuring sufficient water content in the upper layer of the skin, called the epidermis. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and contains up to 64% water. This water is essential for the proper functioning of the skin - from protection against wind and UV radiation to cell regeneration and maintaining a healthy barrier function.


When skin is hydrated -- it's smoother, firmer, and overall healthier looking, but when it's dehydrated, dryness, peeling, redness, and inflammation can occur. Plus, prolonged dehydration can accelerate skin aging.

What happens when the skin loses hydration?


Insufficient hydration has a number of negative consequences:



Loss of elasticity: Dehydrated skin tends to lose its ability to shut down.

This means that wrinkles and fine lines form more easily.


Dull appearance: Without water, skin can look dull and tired.


Dryness and peeling: The skin may peel or even crack, which can cause pain and discomfort.


Inflammation and acne: Dehydrated skin can produce excessive amounts of sebum, which can clog pores and cause acne.


Slowed regeneration: Dehydration slows the skin's ability to regenerate, which can prolong healing time.








How to recognize dehydrated skin?


Dehydrated skin can manifest itself in:


a tense or uncomfortable feeling after washing, a grayish color and a lack of life,


fine wrinkles more visible than usual, dry scales or peeling.


It is important to remember that skin dehydration can occur in any skin type – sensitive,


problematic, oily, combination and dry.



How to keep skin hydrated?


1. Regular application of moisturizers.

Use quality moisturizing creams, serums or masks containing natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin or vegetable oils. The moisturizing serum Lišky bystroušky is an ideal choice - it provides intense hydration to the skin and leaves it soft and nourished.


2. Sufficient drinking regime.

The foundation of hydration starts inside your body. Aim to drink at least 2 liters of water a day to keep your skin hydrated.


3. Protect your skin from external influences.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. The sun can dehydrate the skin and damage its structure.


4. Proper cleaning routine.

Use gentle cleansers that do not disrupt the skin's natural protective barrier.


5. Avoid excessive use of drying products.

Products containing alcohol or harsh chemicals can strip your skin of its natural moisture. Be sure to choose products that are gentle and contain natural ingredients.


6. Use humidifiers.

If you spend a lot of time in a dry environment, such as air-conditioned or heated rooms, a humidifier can be a good helper. It will help maintain optimal air humidity, which is beneficial not only for your skin but also for your overall health.


7. Use face masks regularly.

Hydrating face masks are a great way to give your skin an intense dose of hydration. Treat yourself to this treatment once or twice a week. Masks containing aloe vera, rose water, or avocado oil are especially effective.

Natural ingredients for skin hydration:


When choosing products for hydration, focus on purely natural ingredients that are proven and effective:


Hyaluronic Acid -- Helps retain moisture in the skin, keeping it supple and hydrated.

Aloe vera -- Soothes and hydrates irritated skin.

Plant oils -- (e.g. argan or jojoba) -- Nourishes the skin and creates a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss.

Glycerin -- Attracts moisture to the top layer of the skin and keeps it there.





Hydration as a prevention of skin aging:

Hydrating your skin is not just about immediate results, but also about long-term prevention. Regularly hydrated skin is less prone to fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Natural moisture supports cell regeneration and keeps skin supple. If you start incorporating hydration into your daily routine at a younger age, you can delay the visible signs of aging.
