Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for our entire body to function well, so it is necessary to listen to our dermis and offer it the nutrition it needs at all times. When we manage to hydrate it as it deserves, we will also be balancing its parameters, thus achieving a much healthier and stronger protective barrier.

The fact that our protective barrier is much stronger and healthier will help us a lot to avoid suffering damage caused by various external factors such as those we have mentioned above and therefore all will be incredible results.

  • We will never have dry skin again (flaking, itching, irritation, etc.)

We think that the fact of having skin with characteristics of lack of hydration is only suffered by dry skin, but nevertheless all skin can suffer these characteristics at some point in their life, so it is necessary for everyone to hydrate their skin .

This happens especially with the cold , it does not matter the type of skin that if it is very cold we will have a dry face with redness caused by the lack of humidity in the environment and therefore in our skin, so at this time it is even more important to carry a complete and correct hydration.

Despite all this, it is true that people with dry skin need extra care in this regard, since they are the ones that have the most hydration and nutrition deficiencies.

I am sure that many times when you have looked in the mirror and have seen some other imperfection you have thought that it has no remedy, however it does and much of it resides in good hydration.

Each skin is different and each of them has different predispositions but what is certain is that we all suffer from hydration if we do not balance it in our day to day, for example, a person with very oily skin should not fall into the error of to think that your imperfections are due to an excess of hydration, since surely it is the opposite.

Once we all keep our face in good and balanced condition, in terms of hydration we can see how it will increasingly adopt a more beautiful and radiant appearance.

  • Goodbye to early wrinkles

Dry skin has consequences, not only for health but also for aesthetics and this is where the dreaded wrinkles come into play. The lack of hydration creates early wrinkles on the face, this is due to the lack of collagen produced by our body due to the lack of hydration, therefore it is clear that anyone who does not want to see early wrinkles should keep some adequate levels of water in your dermis and in this way you will say goodbye to those wrinkles that sometimes worry us so much.

The mask is not a cosmetic like the ones we use in daily routines, it is more if you learn about the processes of daily facial care routines you will see that you find products such as cleansers, make-up removers, moisturizers, serums, etc., but you will never see the masks.

This is because they are products for weekly use , which means that we can use them once or twice a week, depending a little on what we want to achieve with them and how our skin is. If we increase the frequency of use, we will be damaging the skin, since they are high absorption products.

As they are deep care products , they reach the innermost layers of our skin to improve from there any factor that we are treating, therefore we must do it on a weekly basis as the experts advise.

When there is a lack of hydration, the hydrant creams They will help us to combat it daily but nevertheless they will not achieve very long-lasting results, since this cosmetic remains rather in the superficial layers (although they are necessary and we should never do without them).

The mask in this case, will hydrate from the depths of our skin, improving each dermal layer to achieve a really nourished skin in a safe, durable and very real way.

A mask is nothing more than a mixture of ingredients? (which we will choose depending on what we want to achieve), applying it to the face and letting it act for a few minutes (they will depend on the mask) to finally remove it with plenty of water and feel unique.
