Skin Hydration Essentials

Hydrate Thirsty Skin in Winter

Why Hyaluronic Acid is an Essential for Skin Hydration

Skin hydration levels are hard to maintain in Winter. At Karpati Skin Clinic, we offer an amazing Hydrating Facial, but homecare is essential in maintaining skin hydration in the cooler months.  Cold weather can lead to skin looking dull and feeling flaky and dry with increased sensitivity.  The cold snaps in temperature causes skin to work overtime to adjust to its environment. If the top layer of skin is damaged or doesn’t function properly, moisture can evaporate. This results in dehydrated skin.

Dehydrated skin means your skin lacks the water it needs to remain healthy. Your skin may contain plenty of oil, but there’s no water underneath to keep things balanced.

When your skin is dehydrated, it will overproduce oil to compensate for the lack of moisture. This leads to skin feeling both dry and oily at the same time. This overproduction of oil can result in clogged pores, breakouts, irritation, dry patches, and wrinkles.

Our first instinct in this case is to slather on the richest cream you can find. This is the wrong approach. As rich creams are oil based, they will sit on top of your skin and can lead to exess oil buildup and breakouts, making skin worse.

When you are thirsty, you drink water, not oil. The same applies to your skin. When it is dry, it needs hydration.

Our skin hydration essential product ingredient for winter is Hyaluronic Acid.  

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our bodies and decreases as we age. A biological sponge, it can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water in the intercellular matrix and thus prevents the skin from becoming dehydrated. Hyaluronic Acid quenches the skin’s thirst as it traps and retains moisture. Hyaluronic Acid is also essential in regenerating the skin as it helps to form the connective tissue that contains collagen and elastin fibres, thereby playing a crucial part in maintaining the skin’s density and tone.

A few drops of 100% Pure Hyaluronic Acid by Karpati natural Skincare goes a long way in providing much needed hydration to the skin. The natural Hyaluronic Acid is 100% pure and can be applied all over the face, neck and even the eyes. The silky texture glides effortlessly over the skin as the ultra-fine molecules are absorbed immediately in the dermal layers, replenishing skins hydration levels instantly.

Follow with Moisturising Hyaluronic Cream which contains plant based Squalane in addition to Hyaluronic Acid for ultimate barrier protection. Plant based Squalane, although an oil, does not have an oily feel. Like Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane is found naturally in our bodies and decreases as we age. Its oil helps form a barrier between the skin and the environment, so the skin can better retain moisture.

Paired together, these Skin Hydration must have ingredients are essential for maintaining skin moisture levels year round, but especially in these cold winter months.
