Exploring the Hydrating Facial

Water is essential to healthy cell functioning. Dehydration causes cells to lose volume, leading to an increased appearance of fine lines, dry patches, and sagging skin.

Proper skin hydration supports cell health and volume. As a result, the entire face appears smoother and has a healthy glow.

A hydrating facial is designed to cleanse, purify, and moisturize the face, leaving it feeling beautiful and soft. Treatment will address dryness, oily skin, and uneven skin texture by delivering intense hydration.

Is Your Skin Dehydrated?

It’s important to recognize the difference between dehydrated skin and dry skin. Dehydrated skin lacks moisture and is a skin condition, whereas dry skin is a skin type.

People with a dry skin type produce less oil. This is in contrast to individuals with oily skin who naturally produce much more oil.

Dehydrated skin can affect any skin type because the condition is characterized by a lack of water, not oil. Thus, even individuals with oily skin can have dehydrated skin.

Causes of Dehydrated Skin

Dry air due to central heating, air conditioning, or cold weather

Drinking high amounts of caffeine or alcohol, which dehydrates the body

Use of harsh skincare that strips moisture from skin cells

Normal activities, such as stress or sweating from exercise

Certain health conditions and medications

Not drinking enough water on a daily basis

How it Works

A hydration facial is non-invasive and provides intense hydration to the face through the use of skincare products and massages. The products used during a hydrating facial will vary, depending on the client’s individual skincare needs. However, hydrating products typically have one or more of the following ingredients: argan oil, glycerin, ceramides, jojoba oil, lactic acid, or hyaluronic acid.

During a hydrating facial, the aesthetician will use a hydrating moisturizer, hydrating serum, oil cleanser, eye cream, and other soothing products. The gentle exfoliation brought about by active ingredients like lactic acid helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a new layer of skin. As a result, individuals will enjoy smooth, glowing, and plump skin.
