Why is hydration so important?

The deepest layers of our skin contain about 70% water, and when healthy and hydrated, the stratum corneum contains 20% water. If the percentage is less than this, our skin can appear dull, dry and flaky, and the barrier function will be impaired. Any further drying can lead to painful signs of dry, flaky skin and reduced overall skin tone.

Occlusives , as we well know, are ingredients suitable for extremely dry skin. They, together with moisturizing ingredients, prevent drying, while emollient ingredients nourish the skin and prevent moisture loss.

A number of oils such as argan, the oil Grape seed, macadamia, and camellia oils contained in The Face Oil Elixir have a moisturizing and hydrating effect.

They are a great choice when it comes to nourishing dry and/or dehydrated skin. This is because of their high content of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, which supply the skin with vital nutrients.
