Importance of Hydrated Skin & How to Achieve it

It’s often said that proper hydration is a golden ticket to healthy and radiant skin, and we couldn’t agree more! Hydrating your skin has a myriad of benefits including but not just limited to clear skin.

When we think about hydrated skin, what comes to mind is supple, soft, and healthy skin. When your skin is fully hydrated, it fights and flushes out toxins effectively and helps to improve skin elasticity which reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

On the contrary, skin that is not well-hydrated looks dry and tight, making it less resilient and more prone to wrinkles and fine lines. Poorly hydrated skin begins to show signs like flaky, itchy, and wrinkly skin - which is something we want to avoid at all costs. Read on for our expert tips to curate a hydrating skincare routine- help your skin maintain the moisture it needs, and wait for that magic glow to appear

#1 Stay hydrated
Good hydration is the key to a healthy body, and our advice is to keep a bottle of water handy at all times to quench your thirst. It’s recommended that adults consume an average of 2-3 liters of water every day to keep the body functioning smoothly. If there’s one piece of advice you can trust blindly, it’s this - the only way to get your skin glowing naturally is to keep it hydrated at all times.

#2 Moisturise, & then some more
Any skin care routine is incomplete without a good old moisturizer. If you’re looking for something to hydrate the deepest layers of your skin, we highly recommend trying out the Latte Coffee Face Moisturizer, it’s just what you need for intense and effective moisturization.

Interestingly, keeping your skin moisturized also prevents oiliness, as dehydrated skin produces more oil to compensate for the lacking moisture. So if you’re looking for something lightweight, get your hands on our Coffee Oil-Free Face Moisturizer that controls excess oil with the help of vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid.

If you’re willing to go the extra mile, we recommend investing in eye cream. Our eyes can do with some extra care to compensate for the excessive screen time and associated fatigue. Try adding the Naked & Raw Coffee Under Eye Cream to help with eye bags and puffiness.

#3 Keep the shower short
A short cold shower not only saves water but also keeps the body energized & soothes the skin. Showering with scalding water too frequently strips the skin of its natural hydration by breaking down the sebum layer, which acts as a barrier to prevent the skin from damage.
To add in some extra moisture you can also use our lush range of bathing bars, each crafted with special ingredients to keep the skin moisturized throughout the day.

#4 Serums, masks, and more
Looking for something to level up your hydration game? We know just the right products! When it comes to skin hydration, a simple moisturizer doesn’t quite do the trick, which is why it’s wise to go in with some extra nourishment.

Using a face serum is a good way to keep up the hydration - we recommend checking out the Naked & Raw Coffee Face Serum, the added bonus being the aroma of freshly ground coffee to keep you pumped all day!

Another top tip for hydrated skin is to go in for overnight hydration. A wonderful addition to your night skincare routine is the Latte Coffee Sleeping Mask. Let your skin soak in the goodness all night long, and wake up with rejuvenated and plump skin!

Here’s what you can do
Step 1 - Massage a thin layer of the sleeping mask and leave it overnight.
Step 2 - Wash it off the next morning using a mild and hydrating facewash [we recommend the Naked and Raw Coffee Face Wash] and say hello to supple and glowing skin!

#5 Stay active and healthy
Be mindful of what you’re eating, because, at the end of the day, our skin is a reflection of what we put in our body. Supplement your meals with water-dense and antioxidant-rich food like fruits and leafy greens. Consuming water-rich food is just as good as drinking water to hydrate the skin. So try to swap your snacks with fruits like plums, peaches, or watermelons, they’re healthy and oh-so-good for your skin too!

#6 Exfoliate
Don’t forget to keep at it with the basics. Exfoliation is an important step for any hydrating skincare routine as it helps the moisturizer seep in deeper. You can exfoliate your way through clogged pores and impurities to reveal fresh and dazzling skin using our Green Tea Face Scrub. Green tea acts as an anti-inflammatory ingredient while the goodness of hyaluronic acid works to lock in the hydration and keep your skin conditioned.

That’s it, you’re all set. Try out these expert-recommended ways to achieve your skincare goals and thank us later. Happy hydrating!
