Keeping the skin well hydrated is essential to maintaining its overall health, and is the third pillar of Teresa’s four core principles of skincare. If the skin’s barrier is well hydrated, it will protect against daily environmental stressors, preserve the skin’s elasticity and prevent fine lines forming prematurely. Put simply, hydrated skin is healthy skin.
It's not just a one-step approach to hydrating the skin. It's about giving your skin the right mix of hydrators, humectants and barrier-strenghtening ingredients to lock in moisture and keep it balanced, which can be delivered via a wide variety of lifestyle habits. A well-hydrated complexion looks and feels healthier, and also makes treatments and actives more effective. Simple, but essential.
"I am a big advocate for taking care of skin from the inside out. As much as we can hydrate our skin with products, we need to think of the bigger picture and hydrate holistically - for example, through nutrition, lifestyle, and sleep.” - Teresa Tarmey
