Ritual for Dehydrated Skin
0. Hydration Starts Within
Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is the constant and subtle evaporation of water from the top layer of our epidermis. TEWL reflects the health of the skin barrier. Lipids in the upper layers of the skin are necessary to maintain the required amount of water in the skin. Linoleic acid, in particular, plays an important role in the synthesis of barrier lipids.
Drink enough water. A balanced diet benefits your whole body and your skin. In particular, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids help improve the lipid barrier. Also, humidify the air during the winter months. Avoid too much coffee and diuretics, which can promote dehydration. Finally, pay attention to a balanced sleep rhythm - it is not called beauty sleep for nothing.
1. Every Ritual Starts With Cleansing
In the evening: apply 2–3 pumps of re. purify cleansing oil onto dry skin and massage gently. Wet your hands and continue massaging until a milky emulsion forms, then rinse with lukewarm water. You can also use the face towel method by soaking a towel in warm water, wringing it out, and gently wiping away impurities. Finish by splashing the face with cool water and patting dry.
In the morning, we recommend a shorter cleansing ritual. Massage 2–3 pumps of re. purify cleansing oil onto damp skin to lightly emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.
2. The Power of Misting
Complete your cleansing ritual with re. balance face mist. There is a reason for this step — facial mist helps improve the absorption of serums and creams applied afterward. With biocompatible moisturising ingredients, it also delivers a light layer of hydration to help prevent dehydration and support balanced skin.
Spray 2–3 pumps evenly over the face for an instant boost of freshness and hydration. Use morning and evening, or anytime throughout the day whenever your skin needs a refresh.
3. Healthy Skin Starts With Hydration
In the morning, while the skin is still lightly damp from misting, apply 1–2 drops of re. hydrate serum and gently massage into the skin. Follow with a pea-sized amount of re. nourish active complete moisturiser and massage into the face, neck, and décolleté using upward movements.
In the evening, combine 2 drops of re. hydrate serum with 1–2 drops of re. glow oil serum in the palm of your hand and massage gently into the skin using upward strokes. Close your eyes and breathe in the calming aroma of the pure essential oils.
Do not forget the neck and décolleté.
