Best Hydrating Skincare Products

When choosing the best skincare products for your use, it pays to understand what it actually means to hydrate the skin.  Wetting the skin with water certainly does not get the job done.  Stay in the bath or pool too long and after you towel off your skin feels dryer than ever.  Putting oily lotion on your skin may make it feel less dry temporarily, but doesn’t really hydrate the skin.  As we age our skin doesn’t produce as much of it’s healthy components and becomes thinner.  So the skin looses water, which is normally attracted inside the skin layers by large molecules such as glycosaminoglycans.  One such molecule is Hyaluronic Acid or HA.  HA can attract up to1000 times it’s weight in water.  So when you want to truely hydrate your skin, choose a serum that has the penetrating power of low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid.  This penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and then attractes up to 1000 times it’s weight in water and holds it there.  This plumps the skin making it thicker and softer.

Top Tier Serums, such as Corsage and White Tie, contain just the right amount of Hyaluronic Acid, along with other components that hydrate and plump the skin.  This effect translates into thicker and softer skin and makes fine lines and wrinkles much less visible.  While these outstanding serums were originally  developed for the face, many users are also applying them to the backs of their hands to plump the skin in those notoriously thin areas.  After hydrating the deep areas of the skin, applying a protective layer such as with our Whipped Tallow Balm helps keep the skin from dehydrating.  Do this routine daily and you will feel a definate difference in just a few applications.
