YOUR SKIN IS CRAVING MOISTURE: Tips for Care with Hyaluronic Acid
Summer is the most beautiful time of the year for many people, but it also poses a particular challenge for our skin. Sun, salt water and wind are the main culprits that cause our skin to lose moisture and become dry and irritated in summer. High temperatures and increased perspiration cause the skin to dehydrate more quickly, which can lead to an uncomfortable feeling of tightness, flaking and increased sensitivity. This is why it is important to pay special attention to moisturizing skin care during the summer months.
Hyaluronic Acid - the miracle moisturiser
When it comes to moisturizers, hyaluronic acid is one of the most effective and popular ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in our skin and has an exceptional ability to retain moisture – it can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water. This means that hyaluronic acid is key for intense skin hydration, helping to keep the skin constantly moisturized, firm, and radiant.
Benefits of using hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is ideal for all skin types, but is particularly beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin.
The main benefits of using hyaluronic acid are:
Intense hydration: hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and plumps the skin with moisture, helping to prevent dryness and flaking.
Fills wrinkles and fine lines: thanks to its moisture-retaining ability, hyaluronic acid can fill wrinkles and fine lines and improve the appearance of the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Light texture: hyaluronic acid serums have a light and non-greasy texture, which allows for fast absorption and comfortable use, even for those with oily or combination skin.
Make-up primer: Hyaluronic serums are an excellent make-up primer as they do not leave a greasy feeling on the skin and allow make-up to be applied evenly.
Combination of hyaluronic acid and toner
For best results, it is recommended to use hyaluronic acid in combination with a toner. NANU toner (Refresh Mist) is a perfect example, as it contains 10 other moisturizers in addition to Damask rose hydrosol. Moisturize the skin with the toner before applying the hyaluronic acid serum, which allows for even better absorption and effectiveness of the serum.
Other important humectants and their functions
In addition to hyaluronic acid, there are many other moisturizers that play a key role in hydrating the skin:
- Glycerol: draws moisture from the environment and holds it in the skin.
- Panthenol (provitamin B5): soothes the skin and improves its ability to retain moisture.
- Betaine: Helps keep skin moisturized and soft.
- Allantoin: Promotes skin regeneration and reduces irritation.
- Aloe Vera: A natural moisturizer that soothes and restores the skin.
- Na-PCA: A natural humectant that increases the moisture content of the skin.
- Na-lactate: balances the skin’s natural pH and improves its moisture.
Each of these moisturizers works slightly differently, so it is advisable to use products containing several different moisturizers. Such products provide more comprehensive and effective moisturization.
Finding the right products for summer
In summer, it is especially important to use products that provide extra moisture. Look for toners, hyaluronic acid serums and moisturizers that contain a combination of the above-mentioned humectants. NANU cosmetics are a great choice because we do not use distilled water in our products, but only hydrosols such as damask rose, rose hips, frankincense, immortelle, rosemary, chamomile, lavender and others. These hydrosols not only moisturize but also soothe and nourish the skin.
The myth of water drinking and skin hydration
It is important to remember that drinking water alone will not directly moisturize your skin. Dermatologists have confirmed that drinking water is not directly correlated with skin hydration. Therefore, it is necessary to hydrate your skin from the outside – with the help of quality cosmetic products.
The ideal summer beauty routine?
For optimal results, it is recommended to first apply to cleansed skin NANU Refresh Mist or at least any hydrosol, followed by an application of Moisturizing Serum with Hyaluronic acid and peptides. This combination will moisturize your skin generously and give it a truly long-lasting hydration. Then continue your beauty routine by applying Intensive Moisturizing Fluidwhich will “lock in” the hyaluronic acid, leaving your skin truly moisturized, and add a much-needed dose of antioxidants to protect your skin from harmful external factors.
Summer is a wonderful time, but it is also a time when our skin needs special attention and care. With the right choice of humectants, we can make sure our skin stays hydrated, supple and youthful even on the hottest days.
Moisturizing your skin is crucial to maintaining its health and beauty, especially during the summer months. By using the right moisturizers, such as hyaluronic acid, and products containing a variety of humectants, you can keep your skin hydrated, soft and radiant at all times. Don’t forget to use quality toners such as NANU toner (Refresh Mist), which further improve the effectiveness of moisturizers.
It’s important to take good care of your skin in the summer too, as the relaxed pace of summer often causes us to slack off on our beauty routine. This can be detrimental, as we greet autumn with dry and inadequately cared-for skin, which is exacerbated during the winter months when the skin is subjected to additional stresses such as cold, wind and central heating.
Inadequate summer skin care can weaken the skin barrier, leading to more problems in winter. It is therefore crucial to maintain proper hydration and skin protection during the summer. Autumn should be greeted with well-hydrated and nourished skin, as this lays a solid foundation to face the harsher conditions of winter.
Regular and careful care throughout the year, especially in summer, will ensure that our skin is healthy, protected and ready for the challenges of the colder months.
Take care of your skin in summer and ensure a radiant and healthy look all year round!
May your summer be carefree, enjoyable, relaxed and full of good energy.
