Water’s the real MVP when it comes to hydration—but it doesn’t hang around on its own. That’s where ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera come in. They pull water into your skin and help keep it there, so your face stays dewy and comfy instead of tight or thirsty. These little hydration heroes are the secret sauce behind that soft, plump feel we all love.

Dehydrated skin can be sneaky. It might feel dry, but it could also look dull, a little flaky, or even oily in spots. You might notice tightness, fine lines, or that your skin just doesn’t bounce back like it usually does. It’s not just about lacking oil—it’s your skin running low on water, and it’s asking (nicely) for a drink.

Nighttime’s the perfect window to give your skin some serious love. Use products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin to draw in moisture and help repair your skin barrier while you sleep. You can even seal everything in with a layer of something thick—like some of our lip care—especially if your skin’s feeling extra parched. Wake up to skin that feels soft, calm, and ready for the day.
