We are headed into fall/winter, which means your skin could be in need of an extra 💧Boost💧here's the low down on what to look for in your skincare products:
Humectants (pull water into the skin)
• Hyaluronic Acid – classic, binds up to 1,000x its weight in water.
• Glycerin – underrated, super effective and lightweight.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – soothing + hydrates at the same time.
• Aloe Vera – calming, hydrating, and helps with sensitivity.
• Honey – natural humectant, adds glow.
Emollients (soften + smooth skin)
• Squalane – lightweight oil that mimics skin’s natural lipids.
• Ceramides – replenish the skin barrier and lock in hydration.
• Fatty Acids (like linoleic acid) – nourish and repair the skin.
• Shea Butter – richer, best for dry or compromised skin.
Occlusives (seal in hydration)
• Petrolatum (Vaseline) – gold standard for trapping in moisture.
• Beeswax – natural occlusive with soothing benefits.
• Dimethicone – silicone-based, gives a smooth feel and prevents water loss.
