Skin hydration is one of the most important steps in skin care, ensuring its resistance to environmental influences, youthful appearance and elasticity. In addition to conventional moisturisers and serums, we can also use natural alternatives such as hydrosols. In this article, we'll focus on hydrosols, which not only provide hydration, but also other beneficial effects for the skin.
Why is it important to moisturise the skin?
Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy skin. Water is essential for maintaining the skin's elasticity, firmness, and natural beauty. Lack of hydration can lead to dry, tight and scaly skin, which can accelerate the aging process of skin cells and increase the risk of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, moisturised skin is less prone to irritation and redness, which people with sensitive or problematic skin should be focused on.
Hydrosols and their benefits
Hydrosols are great for their versatile use and are suitable for both skin care and necessary refreshment. They are obtained by steam distillation and separated from the essential oil during this process. Because they retain a small amount of essential oils, they carry all the effects of essential oils in a lower concentration.
