Clients looking for results from non-surgical treatments need to know what can affect their success. For guaranteed client satisfaction, it is your job as an esthetician to communicate the important role of hydration in skincare.
The Role of Hydration in Skincare
It’s no secret that well-hydrated skin is smooth and plump with a healthy glow. With proper hydration, clients won’t suffer from dry patches or flakiness. Everyone needs hydration to look and feel their best. Keeping skin hydrated is essential for skin health, elasticity and optimal barrier function.
Keep The Skin Barrier Intact
Adequate hydration helps to preserve younger healthier skin. When the body is well hydrated, skin is better at retaining moisture and fluid balance. This keeps the integrity of the skin barrier intact allowing it to defend itself against environmental aggressors.
Signs of Dehydrated Skin
- Dull or tight skin
- Sensitive or prone to itchiness
- Pronounced fine lines
- Sunken eye bags
Hydration in skincare goes beyond topical products:
Diet & Lifestyle
Apart from choosing products with effective hydrating ingredients, your clients must also consider their diet and lifestyle when thinking about the role of hydration in skincare. Hydrated skin starts from inside out. Are they drinking enough water? How much alcohol do they drink, do they smoke? A healthy diet also contributes to hydrated skin. Encourage plenty of fruit, vegetables and essential omega-3 foods like oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds. They should avoid processed food. Let’s take a look at our own SkinBase hydrating treatments.
SkinBase Hydro
When thinking about the role of hydration in skincare, professional treatments are a great way to ensure hydrated skin. Serums are the best way to deliver hydrating ingredients into the skin. SkinBase Hydro cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates with an infusion of powerful ingredients. The handheld device enhances penetration of the serum and promotes cell renewal at the same time. The Renewing Serum contains powerful anti-ageing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This helps to hydrate skin and reduce inflammation. HA is the ultimate boost in hydration, it improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
SkinBase Microdermabrasion
Product hydration is more effective after healthy exfoliation. Microdermabrasion removes the top layer of skin, clearing pores and allowing products to absorb. Moisturisers and serums lock in helping your clients to get a healthy hydrated glow back.
