Glow Up: Your Complete Guide to Beauty Thinkers Hydrators

Are you dealing with dry, flaky skin or looking to boost your hydration routine? At Beauty Thinkers, we are obsessed with hydration and its benefits for skin barrier health. Read this guide to learn key facts about skin hydration, the different types of moisturizers, and how to choose the right product for your skin type. Beauty Thinkers offers a range of innovative hydrators featuring hydroxytyrosol and designed to keep your skin healthy and radiant. 

Why Is Skin Hydration Important?  

At Beauty Thinkers, we aim to help sensitive skin users build a good skin health routine. We believe in the Foundations of Preventative Skincare: 

• Prevention: Using hydroxytyrosol for skin, an olive-based super antioxidant. 
• Hydration: We are obsessed with hydration!  
• Hydration Retention: Moisturizing and nourishing the skin. 
• UV Care: Protecting the skin from sun damage. 

Well-hydrated skin is the essential first step in preventative skincare. Hydration is important for all skin types, including normal and oily skin. It affects the skin’s appearance and health, helps maintain the skin’s barrier function, which protects against environmental stressors, pathogens, and toxins. Properly hydrated skin is less likely to become dry, flaky, or irritated and can better defend against premature aging and other skin issues. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a healthy and resilient look.

What Are Moisturizers? 

There are three main types of moisturizers based on their functions and ingredients:

• Humectants: Hydrate the skin by increasing its water content. They attract water from the dermis and the environment into the epidermis. Common humectants include aloe, honey, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. 
• Emollients: Soften and smooth the skin by filling in the gaps between skin cells, making the skin feel smoother and more flexible. Common emollients include lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone. 
• Occlusives: Trap moisture in the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss by creating a physical barrier. Common occlusives include petroleum jelly, beeswax, and shea butter. 

Hydrating skincare products usually include several types of moisturizers, but some people may find that a specific type works better for their skin than a combination.

What Are Hydrators? Are They the Same As Moisturizers?  

Hydrators are all about water. They use humectants to bring water to the skin. They absorb moisture from the air and deep layers of skin and bring it to the outer skin layer. Moisturizers, on the other hand, maintain sebum (oil) in your skin to prevent it from drying out. They soften the skin and lock in essential moisture. If your skin is dehydrated, you need a hydrator. If it’s dry and flaky, you need a moisturizer. 

How do you know if your skin is dry or dehydrated? Dry skin is usually genetic and is dry due to insufficient sebum (oil) production. Dehydrated skin lacks water and is a result of a compromised skin barrier due to external factors such as heat, cold, air conditioning, over-exfoliation, or harsh skincare ingredients.
