Why is cleansing important for skin health?
A good cleanser does more than remove dirt, it preserves the skin barrier, maintains the right pH, and preps skin for active ingredients (National Library of Medicine). Harsh cleansers can strip natural oils, causing dryness, irritation, and even premature aging (American Academy of Dermatology).
How does hydration affect the skin barrier?
Hydrated skin is stronger, smoother, and more resilient against environmental stressors. It supports cell turnover, reduces the look of fine lines, and improves product absorption (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology). Without enough hydration, skin can become dull, tight, and more prone to sensitivity.
What ingredients deliver deep, lasting hydration?
Look for humectants like hyaluronic acid, occlusives like squalane, and peptides. Proven to help the skin retain water and repair barrier function.
