How to Hydrate Your Body Quickly and Effectively?
Daily baths, friction from clothes, or poor circulation can affect the hydrolipidic film of the epidermis. As a result, the skin becomes rough, sensitive, dull, and sometimes uncomfortable. The solution: moisturize it every day. However, this is a gesture often forgotten due to lack of time.
Here are some tips for hydrating your body quickly and effectively.
Adjust the water temperature correctly
Most of the time, we moisturize after a bath or shower. "However, if the water temperature used is too hot, the skin remains moist despite using a towel because it sweats. As a result, the cream does not adhere as well and has difficulty penetrating. The correct choice is to opt for warm water to limit sweating. Even better, finish the bath with cool water, which, in turn, stimulates blood circulation for lighter legs during the day and firmer skin.
Dry the skin, but not too much
An emollient formula or oil spreads better on very moist skin. This is explained by the fact that the skin's surface is more flexible, allowing better absorption of the treatment. Moreover, the action of nutrients will be more effective. Ideally, dry the skin with a fluffy towel right after the bath, a quality towel that absorbs well.
Choose the Right Moisturizer
• Spray lotions are treatments that are absorbed more quickly by the skin. Thanks to their micro-diffusion, they deposit fine droplets on the skin that penetrate almost instantly into the epidermis without needing to use hands. They offer very light hydration, which certainly will not be enough in the long run. They have the advantage of being very useful on days when time is short.
• Body lotions are by far the best alternative, moisturizing quickly and allowing us to dress immediately. Their oil-in-water composition with a more significant aqueous base than the fatty base allows this. It is this aqueous base that coats the oily elements and facilitates their infiltration into the tissues. Ideal for normal to dry or drier skin, they can be alternated with the application of richer products.
• Balms and butters are ideal when the skin is severely lacking in hydration, as they are stronger in terms of moisturization.
